Excerpt from A System of Religion: Singular and Surprising The other principle of the Soul's sleeping, might have. Been supported by the same arguments; as also a philosophical turn might have been given to his excluding all immaterial beings out of his system of religion: For some Philosophers teach, by many strong arguments, that man can have no notion of an immaterial sub stance: And some go so far as to say, it is nonsense, since all our ideas are of what our external senses see, or compounded of what they have seen, which can be nothing but matter.
