(3) Christ and John appeal to sense to confirm truth: Luke 24:39 (handle me; a spirit has not flesh and bones); 1 John 1:1 (that which was from the beginning).

If one well-constituted sense deserves faith, how much more several conspiring species — all men trust many senses more than one.

Latin

(3) Ad Sensuum testimonium, in Veritate à se confirmanda stabiliendaque, provocando, tùm per Christum ipsum: Vide manus meas & pedes meos, nam ego ipse sum, Contrectate me & videte, nam Spiritus Carnem & OSSA non habet, sicut me conspicitis habere Luc. 24. 39. tùm per dilectissimum Christi Apostolum: Quod erat à principio &c. 1. Joh. 1, 1. Quod si verò vel uni Sensui benè constituto, nec requisito ullo ad sentiendum destituto, fides meritò habenda, quantò magis pluribus: Cùm, quò plures species, inter se conspirantes, variis modis excitantur, eò perceptio, quæ est earum contemplatio, certior sit. Unde omnium hominum usu frequentatum, ut pluribus Sensibus magis credant, quàm uni atque alteri.
