Part 2. Persuasion

6
Persuasion - its
intensity; force, strength
liveliness, vivacity
Positive or negative, a property of which whereof persuasion,
whatsoever be the subject of it, is, in every man's continual
experience susceptible, is - intensity: in lieu of which
term the terms force or strength, or liveliness or vivacity -
and perhaps some others - have occasionally been employed.

7
Intensity of persuasion,
its degrees:
language employed
in expressing them
that of the doctrine
of chances.
This Intensity, as every one perceives, is susceptible of degrees: For giving expression to these degrees, where precision or any approach to it is aimed at, no other sort
of language discourse has ever been - or in the nature of the case can
be - employed than that by which the branch of mathematical
science termed by mathematicians the doctrine of chances is has been
expressed.

8
Corresponding degrees
of probability and
improbability ascribes
to the matter
of fact: -
language degree of
# When the subject of the discourse is a supposed matter
of fact — for instance an event of a certain description which
at such or such a time portion and in such or such a place is
supposed to have had existence — probability or improbability
on two [antagonizing and] opposite qualities the one
or the other of which is, ascribed to the such matter of fact. Of To
this probability quality of probability degrees are in like
manner ascribed: which degrees correspond exactly to the
degrees of intensity of persuasion say for shortness degrees
of persuasion, of which, when examined, they will be found seen
to be no other than the expression, clothed in other terms. + + Evidence. Introd. Ch.

Highest degree of
probability, certainty: -
of improbability,
impossibility (a)
Where, the persuasion being positive, the intensity of it is as meant to be represented as being
at the highest possible degree, certainty is the instead of probability is the name of the quality quality thus thus ascribed to the matter of
fact: where the persuasion is negative, impossibility is the
term which instead of improbability is the employed ascribed to in speaking
of the matter of fact: (a)
