Syn :
To persuade ;
satisfy ;
convict .
Usage :
To {
Convince }, {
persuade }.
To convince is an act of the understanding ;
to persuade ,
of the will or feelings .
The one is effected by argument ,
the other by motives .
There are cases ,
however ,
in which persuade may seem to be used in reference only to the assent of the understanding ;
as when we say ,
I am persuaded it is so ;
I can not persuade myself of the fact .
But in such instances there is usually or always a degree of awakened feeling which has had its share in producing the assent of the understanding .
