The eye & the touch are our
largest sources of sensible ideas.

Usually describe objects as
they appear to these senses.
Seeing gives us the most vivid
notions – most durable impressions.
We always shape to ourselves ideas
of things visible even tho [though] we have
never seen them.

Make them up out of things we have seen.
