THEFT 62.
wherefrom this Consciousness might be infer'd were
yet themselves reducible to some one or other of
those 4.
But I had found Cause at length to abandon
the pursuit, in the Persuasion that this
Consciousness might by infer'd with equal
Satisfaction & Certainty from any of the respective
individual Circumstances directly as thro'
the Medium of any of those specific Heads: the
Establishment of them as the Subjects of distinct
Questions to the Jury would therefore have no Use; and
it might have this Inconvenience, that the
Distinction between them would not be in every Care
so clear, as that the Jury could concur in affirming
the Existence of any one in particular and disaffirming
that of the others: hence if the Interrogatories
concerning each were put separately, tho' some one
or other of these Circumstances unquestionably had
Existence, yet not knowing precisely which, they
would think themselves obliged to disaffirm it of
them all.
