If any one think proper to refute this assertion, he need not put himself to the trouble of inventing any long reasonings: but may at once shew us an instance of a cause, where we discover the power or operating principle.

 The examination of the impression bestows a clearness on the idea; and the examination of the idea bestows a like clearness on all our reasoning. Any trading decisions that you may make are solely your responsibility By reason I understand here the whole higher faculty of cognition, the rational being placed in contradistinction to the empirical. It is absurd to expect to be enlightened by Reason, and at the same time to prescribe to her what side of the question she must adopt. For where upon the appearance of an impression we not only feign another object, but likewise arbitrarily, and of our mere good-will and pleasure give it a particular relation to the impression, this can have but a small effect upon the mind; nor is there any reason, why, upon the return of the same impression, we should be determined to place the same object in the same relation to it. But all the questions raised by pure reason relate to that which lies beyond this horizon, or, at least, in its boundary line. 

All unsuccessful dogmatical attempts of reason are facia, which it is always useful to submit to the censure of the sceptic.

 For, as the condition of this whole is its part, and the condition of the part a part of the part, and so on, and as in this regress of decomposition an unconditioned indivisible member of the series of conditions is not to be found; there are no reasons or grounds in experience for stopping in the division, but, on the contrary, the more remote members of the division are actually and empirically given prior to this division. But as in reasonings from causation, and concerning matters of fact, this absolute necessity cannot take place, and the imagination is free to conceive both sides of the question, I still ask, Wherein consists the deference betwixt incredulity and belief? since in both cases the conception of the idea is equally possible and requisite.
