Sect. 2.
[When they are considered as his own (that is, those actions or words) then is he called a Natural Person: and when they are considered as representing the words and acti∣ons of another, then is he a feigned or artificial person.] Thus may a man be distinguished into a true and coun∣terfeit man; and no more than the picture or the image of a man is a true man, no more is a feigned or artificial person, a true person; and yet this feigned or artificial person doth as fully agree to his definition, as the true person; which shewe's the Definition to be to blame: The Metaphysicians have an undoubted Axiom, that ens and verum convertuntur; what is not truly such, is not such. If then such a man, whom he name's, be but a feigned person, he is not a person truly, and then not a person; yet we shall find him endeavouring to set him out, as the onely true person, presently after∣ward with his Grammar Rules.
Notes
No less appli∣cable to a fei∣gned than a true person.
