“The doctrine of those who have denied that certainty could be attained at all, has some agreement with my way of proceeding at the first setting out; but they end in being infinitely separated and opposed.

But then they go on to destroy the authority of the senses and understanding; whereas I proceed to devise helps for the same.”
