Teaching-split: subjective vs objective certainty.

Subjective = assent as it actually sits in a mind.

Objective = what the object of itself deserves / exacts from the mind.

Latin

II. Porro docendi causa certitudo distingui potest in subjectivam atque objectivam. Certitudinem subjectivam voco, quam assensus quislibet actu in mente alicujus obtinet. Objectiva vero certitudo dicitur, quae per se cuilibet assensui debetur: seu, quae ratione habita objecti, menti inesse debet: & quam objectum, ut sic dicatur, jure suo a mente exigit.
