Identity, as applied to man, denotes strictly the same unchanged and unchangeable precipient unity, notwithstanding any diversity of modes or of relations as to time, place, or other objects, which it may have experienced.

Whilst the wholly external thing, or fact is, in the language of metaphysics, pure object, and the precipient or acting soul pure subject, the intervening links—that is, the modification of the organ of sense, or of conscious motion, that of the cerebral centres, and also (it is assumed) that of the precipient or acting soul itself—may be contemplated either as objective or subjective phenomena, according as they are viewed from without, analytically and as separate facts, or from within, in their natural sythesis, as necessary parts of a single whole.

Perceiving or perceived; pertaining to or capable of observation or sensation.

The mind itself, the self-conscious precipient, the only real existence in the constitution of man, is placed beyond the reach of human observation; an those who resolve the thinking principle into a convolution of organic fibres like the brain, might as well suppose the thinking power of the Almighty spirit to consist only in the organizing system of the visible universe.

We parayed around his bed, and I occasionally addressed to him a few appropriate sentences; but the divine precipient within had withdrawn its notices from all sublunary things: God had graciously interposed a veil between him and this life, for his feelings were not excited (as far as we could discern) by the grief and tears of his surrounding relations; nor did the inner man appear to be terrified or disturbed by any fiery temptations from the spiritual adversary, or by any other mysterious and invisible causes.

The difficulties which have often been felt, and which have occasioned interminable controversies, concerning the priority of the outward or the inward act, might be lessened if we were to meditate on the facts presented to us by all the operations of life; hhow in all there is a combination of two coordinate elements; how, for instance, in perception there is a reciprocal action of the object and the precipient, which must be coinstantaneous, admitting of no priority, no exclusive causation, on one side or the other; although even here a like controversy has started up, and one psychological school ascribes all primary causative power to the objects of knowledge, another to the mind that knows.
