Against Hume and Campbel - therefore pass up?

When testimony as well as when material evidence evidence ab intrà is the subject, belief then is an act of the judgment: Disbelief the opposite in like manner an act of the judgment. If these be not acts of the judgment neither are any others. If there be not in mans nature that sort of faculty to which the name of judgment has been attributed, neither does there exist in it any other sort of faculty. If there be not operations of that faculty, neither are any others.
