First, that these five propositions are either not all,
or more than all, those common notions written on our minds by the finger of God; if it were reasonable to believe
any at all to be so written. Since there are other propositions which, even by his own rules, have as just a pretence
to such an original, and may be as well admitted for innate principles, as at least some of these five he enumerates,
viz., "Do as thou wouldst be done unto." And perhaps some hundreds of others, when well considered.
