D. B. cannot answer my first stuery concerningtnunicating his thoughts to others. For if anycites the ideas of other men’s bodies in us; if, as hetains, it is impossible and contradictory there should be *such bodies; and if it be from these delusory ideas vr ^

this Being excites in us, that we infer the exift eslC

° ■ r the

other men’s minds: how can he be certain or u

istence of their minds, which he collects from 3 ,

pearances? ’Tis he himself who has made the found 3

of all a cheat and imposture. But supposing the satffts .

excited in us directly the ideas of other men’s nun

how could we have a greater certainty in the one c3 ^

than in the other? The veracity of this Being

now suspected. And why should we trust him ag a,j5 ^__

ter a former ittuston ? Cartes only supposed, but this

thor endeavours to prove him a Deceiver. He Ihou^ ^

all means have given a Demonstration of the existent 3 ^

men’s minds, when he asserts the existence of tb e * r

dies impossible, by which only we inferred the exist 3

ps their minds. And if the argument which Ihav eta

notice of in N° g. be good; he can offer no p rou ^

the existence of their minds, which will not ec l u j

prove the existence of their bodies. So difficult is

conceive, to answer this Query. Besides, how ca °

be said that D. B. may answer this Query; and y e

the fame time be owned, that his reasoning takesthe existence of other minds, nay and perhaps 0

own too?
