3 Postulates

Be the nature of the course what it may it must have a beginning somewhere.
Something must be already known before any thing
can be made known: something must have been already done
and therefore known how to be done, and accordingly done, before
any thing else can have been shewn how to be done

An axiom all-comprehensive Position is the name bestowed employed to denote a
sentence — enuntiation of a matter of facts so plainly made
known by the words the combination of words of which
this same axiom is comprised — that by no other combination
of words could it be made more clearly known.

☞ Then adduce for examples, Euclid's axioms or some of them.

As What An axiom is all-comprehensive clear Position is a source of demonstration: an all-comprehensive postulate
is as does a medium of supposition is a source of affectuation

An axiom An all-comprehensive Position is a sentence by which that which it is wished
to make known is (as supposed) made so plainly and undeniably made known, that
by no other form of words can it be made more so

of being done, and is
accordingly done: it

number of those which
any person is capable
of doing.

A postulate An all-comprehensive supposition is a thing which requires [some act] to
be considered, upon occasion as done some act which any person may
be so sure of being able to do and of doing accordingly,
that no material error whether in opinion or in practice, is
on any occasion liable to be produced, by the considering it as having been
done accordingly, and acting in consequence.
