CRIT.

The Boast of Geometers has been that their
the truth of what they assert concerning their
fictitious Entities, depends not on the existence
of Real Entities, this if not their expression
is at least their meaning translated to
I believe more intelligible terms.

IfWhen they can shew me a fictitious entity
existing without a real one I will believe
them. It is from real entities only
that we get any Idea at all of fictious
ones. they exist only in real ones, if a
proposition be not true of them as they exist
in real entities it is not true at all.
let them shew me heat, weight, motion
time figure &c independant of matter. not only
they cant shew me any figure existing without
being of a certain size occupying a certain space
being of certain quantity, but no one can
conceive such a figure to exist, he can
have no such image in his mind, it is
from the similarity of certain dimensions
that the figure is known to be a Cube.
you may speak of a Cube affectcertain properties
