Chrest. Tab. II. Conclusion
A sense a clear perception To the removal f the difficulties, by which
in the minds mind of a learner of the generality of learners progress is most
apt to be impeded, a strong and clear sense perception of them
is at least useful conducive if not indispensably necessary: and
the greater larger the proportion a man has of that sort and strength of talent
which qualifies him by which he is qualified and disposed for invention, the less strong is will naturally be the
