When any natural object or event is presented, it is impossible for us, by any sagacity or penetration, to discover, or even conjecture, without experience, what event will result from it, or to carry our foresight beyond that object which is immediately present to the memory and senses.
Zeinnahi objektu edo gertaera azaltzen zaigunean, argitasun eta zorroztasunik handiena badugu ere, esperientziaren laguntzarik gabe, ezinezko zaigu hartatik sor litekeen gertaera aurkitzea, ezta asmatzea ere, edo gure iragarmena gure oroimenetik edo zentzuetatik ber-bertan dagoen objektutik harago eramatea.
