If principles of experience were conditions of things in themselves, the principles restricting reason to experience could themselves become transcendent
If principles of the possibility of experience were taken for universal conditions of things in themselves, the very principles that restrict the use of reason to possible experience could themselves become transcendent and pass off the bounds of our reason for bounds of the possibility of things themselves.
Prolegomena §57: "Unsere Principien, welche den Gebrauch der Vernunft blos auf mögliche Erfahrung einschränken, könnten demnach selbst transscendent werden und die Schranken unsrer Vernunft für Schranken der Möglichkeit der Dinge selbst ausgeben" (AA 4:351.06–09). "Demnach" ties it to the preceding sentence. Kant names Hume's Dialogues as the example (4:351.09), without citing a place in them.
