We shall be removed from all our friends and acquaintance, and our poverty and meanness will by that means sit more easy upon us. We must form a parallel supposition concerning the objects of our feeling. Wherever ideas are adequate representations of objects, the relations, contradictions and agreements of the ideas are all applicable to the objects; and this we may in general observe to be the foundation of all human knowledge. The answer is; Certainly. Our next business, then, must be to discover the reasons which modify this general rule, and fit it to the common use and practice of the world. The supporters of this theory find no difficulty in admitting the reality of the phenomena of the internal sense in time; nay, they go the length of maintaining that this internal experience is of itself a sufficient proof of the real existence of its object as a thing in itself. To reach this limit by empirical means is impossible, and all attempts to determine it a priori according to a principle, are alike in vain. And here it is evident, the same method of reasoning must be continued.
