Dei potentiâ opinio mihi occurrit, non possum non fateri, siquidem
velit, facile illi esse efficere ut errem, etiam in iis quae me puto mentis
oculis quàm evidentissime intueri. Quoties verò ad ipsas res,
quas valde clare percipere arbitror, me converto, tam plane ab illis persuadeor,
ut sponte erumpam in has voces: fallat me quisquis potest, nunquam tamen
efficiet ut nihil sim, quandiu me aliquid esse cogitabo; vel ut aliquando
verum sit me nunquam fuisse, cùm jam verum sit me esse; vel forte
etiam ut duo & tria simul juncta plura vel pauciora sint quàm
quinque, vel similia, in quibus scilicet repugnantiam agnosco manifestam.
Et certe cùm nullam occasionem habeam existimandi aliquem Deum esse
deceptorem, nec quidem adhuc satis sciam utrùm sit aliquis Deus,
valde tenuis &, ut ita loquar, Metaphysica dubitandi ratio est, quae
tantùm ex eâ opinione dependet.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A2950BF7-378A-4FF5-A056-83D37507F11A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
