CHAPTER XVIII. 529 ticular actions or abstinences : But these considered asmoral are onlymodal ; such are law, duty, virtue, vice, sin, righteousness, judgment, condemnation, pardon, reward, punishment; As beings have been thus divided into natural, artificial and moral, I think we might almost in the saine manner run through all the sciences. and givenew names to different beings, by calling them logical, mathematical, political, tic. applying these names to the subjects which these sciences treat of. I confess I should chuse rather to call them different ideas, than different beings, and under this considerationwe may say logical ideas are such as genus and species, definition and syllo- gism : Mathematical ideas are length, breadth, a cube, a circle, multiplication, proportion, &c. Our ideas are called medicinal, when we discourse of sudorfcs and boluses: And when we speak of kings, subjects, laws, rebellion, allegiance, treason, &c. these are political ideas ; but God, holiness, christianity, repent- ance, gospel and salvation are theological, and of highest import- ance above all other kinds of ideas.
