How often must I be obliged to repeat the same thing?
I tell you, we do not.
. Have patience, good Hylas; and tell me once more,
whether there is anything immediately perceived by the senses,
except sensible qualities. I know you asserted there was not; but
I would now be informed, whether you still persist in the same
opinion.
. I do.
. Pray, is your corporeal substance either a sensible
quality, or made up of sensible qualities?
. What a question that is! who ever thought it was?
. My reason for asking was, because in saying, visible object hath that colour which we see in it>, you make
visible objects to be corporeal substances; which implies either
that corporeal substances are sensible qualities, or else that
there is something besides sensible qualities perceived by sight:
but, as this point was formerly agreed between us, and is still
maintained by you, it is a clear consequence, that your
is nothing distinct from qualities>.
