Part 2 persuasion

2 (a)
Subject of persuasion
may be matter
of fact without
proposition:
so proposition
without matter of
fact: as in the self
contradictory proposition exhibited
by established religions
Note (a)
(a) Though in many, perhaps probably in most cases, it comes to
the same thing whether the subject of persuasion to be considered
as being a supposed matter of fact or a proposition - the proposition
being in these cases a proposition relative to some supposed
matter of fact, - yet this concomitancy is not a constant one.
Matter of fact alone and not proposition is the term that
must be employed, whereas the supposed matter of fact has not
as yet been taken for the subject of discourse — of discourse
the import of which stands expressed by a determinate assemblage
of words. On the other hand proposition alone, and
not matter of fact - not even supposed matter of fact - is
the only term that can with propriety be employed, where
in the case, of which established religions afford [unhappily]
so many pernicious and disastrous examples — viz. the
case in which by the proposition in question not no matter of
fact — not so much as any supposed matter of fact —
is attested, the proposition being of the self-contradictory
class. involving in it a contradiction in terms. ++
