 Her affinity with Locke is most apparent in her epistemology. For instance she argues that we derive our knowledge of God by comparing ideas “received from Sense and Reflection” and that the idea of God is “a Proposition containing many complex Ideas in it; and which we are not capable of framing till we have been long acquainted with pleasing Sensations” (A Discourse, p. 66). She also defines love in a Lockean manner as “complaisance”. A French translation of A Discourse by Pierre Coste was published in Amsterdam in 1705, and reviewed in Jean Le Clerc’s Bibliotheque Choisie in the same year.
