And whereas in divers instances doubts have been arisen entertained
whether in the deposition of witnesses either in the
way of affidavit or vivâ voce any declaration
of mere belief or any declaration short of a declaration positive
assertion or declaration of absolute knowledge ought to be received
as also whether if such declaration
of mere belief were to be received any person
could be prosecuted for convicted of perjury on account
of the same ⊞ ⊞ And whereas nevertheless the most positive and unqualified assertion declaration or assertion in relation to any matter of fact can not on the part of him who declares or asserts contain anything more than his single belief in relation to the same And whereas ⊞ nonetheless an a person
that a man knows a fact to be true is neither
is nor can be any thing more than an assertion
of the fact of his believing coupled with an assertion
of the truth of the fact so asserted to be
believed And Whereas knowledge is but a
higher degree of belief inasmuch as whatever is
called knowledge contains not neither doth nor can
on the part of him who is said to know contain by whom such knowledge is expressed
any thing more than his persuasion or belief
And Whereas an assertion that a certain man
knows a fact to be true is nevertheless nothing more than an
assertion of the truth of such fact coupled with
an assertion of the belief or persuasion of such
man
