Part IV. Grounds indiginé: adoptive

1
The difference
between indigenous
and adoptive beliefs
is in some measure
experienced by every
one — p.1

2
— who has ever happened
with this view
to look into his own
mind. p.1

3
Be the subject, facts
or proposition, persuasions
may be
termed indigenous
when it is formed
without regard to
the persuasion of
others. p.1

3(a)
Indigenous better
than native — native
implies only birth —
indigenous, birth
in that very place.
p.1.

4
In practice, the persuasion
which
guides human conduct,
particularly
in religion, of a mixt
kind, — partly indigenous,
in part
adoptive. p.2.

5
Much time saved
by acting on adoptive
belief. p 2

5(a)
Even mathematicé
adoptive the persuasion
a man is
often, if not for the
most part, guided
by. A man refers
without scruple to
a work of note for
a demonstration all
parts of which are
not in his mind.

Part IV. Grounds indigené adoptive

7
E contrà to adoptive
do. Yes if the subject
be an individual+ fact. But if a
proposition — no.
The believer's confidence
in it will be
as his confidence in
the person of whose
persuasion he regards
it as the expression.
p.3.

8
To a demonstration
of La Place's in a
language which a
man does not understand,
the belief
given by him will
be not quite so intense
as if he understood
and followed
it up: but not much
less so as to practical
purposes the nature
of the case as much
or more confidence.
p.3.

9
Though a man understand
not Greek,
yet if he believe in
the testament, his
intensity in the
belief in a part of
the Greek text which
he supposes to agree
with the translation
will not be abated.
p.4

10
If there be any
difference, the belief
in the original will
be more intense, as
there may be doubts
as to parts of the
translation, which
affect not the original.
p.4.
