49 Strictly speaking, we never see and feel the same thing
50 Objects of SIGHT twofold, mediate and immediate
51 These hard to separate in our thoughts
52 The received accounts of our perceiving magnitude by sight, false
53 Magnitude perceived as immediately as distance
54 Two kinds of sensible extension, neither of which is
