175 I. OF THE FOLMDATION3 OF OUR REASONING FROM THE EFFECT TO THE CAUSE, AND OF THE EVIDENCES OF ACTIVE POWER P:XHIB1TED IN THE UNIVERSE.
252. It was before observed, (Introd. § 3. ) that our knowledge of the course of nature is entirely the result of observation and experi- ment ; and that there is no instance in which we perceive such a connection between two successive events, as might enable us to infer the one from the other as a necessary conse- quence.
253. From this principle, which is ...now very generally admitted by philosophers, Mr Hume has deduced an objection to the ar- gument a posteriori for the existence of the Deity. After having proved that we cannot get tlie idea of necessary connection, from examining the conjunction between any two events ; he takes for granted, that we have no other idea of Cause and Effect, than of 176 OUTLINES OF two successive events which are invariably conjoined ; that we have therefore no reason to think, that any one event in nature is ne- cessarily connected with another, or to infer the operation of power from the changes which we observe in the universe.
