Dr.  CLARKES  Second  Reply.
same  Argument  it  might  juſt  as  well  have
been  proved,  that  Men,  or  any  other  particular ¬
  Species  of  Beings,  must  be  infinite
in  Number,  least  God  ſhould  want  Subjects, ¬
  on  which  to  exercise  his  Power  and
Wisdom.
3.  The  Word  Sensory  does  not  properly -
  signify  the  Organ,  but  the  Place  of  Sensation. -
  The  Eye,  the  Ear,  &c.  are  Organs, ¬
  but  not  Sensoria.  Besides,  Sir  Isaac
Newton    does  not  say,  that  Space  is  the
Sensory;  but  that  it  is,  by  way  of  Similitûde ¬
  only,  as  it  were  the  Sensory,  &c.
4.  It  was  never  supposed,  that  the  Presence ¬
  of  the  Soul  was  sufficient,  but  only
that  it  is  necessary  in  order  to  Perception.
Without  being  present  to  the  Images  of  the
Things  perceived,  it  could  not  possibly  perceive ¬
  them:  But  being  present  is  not  sufficient, ¬
  without  it  be  also  a  Living  Substance.
Any  inanimate  Substance,  tho’  present,  perceives -
  nothing  :  And  a  Living  Substance
can  only  there  perceive,  where  it  is  present
either  to  the  Things  themselves,  (as  the
Omnipresent  God  is  to  the  whole  Universe;) ¬
  or  to  the  Images  of  Things,  (as
the  Soul  of  Man  is  in  its  proper  Sensory.)
Nothing  can  any  more  Act,  or  be  Acted
