Such instances afford very great light 138 1, XXXVI | completed. Sometimes these instances of the fingerpost meet us 139 1, XXXVI | recourse be had to other instances of the fingerpost about 140 1, XXXVI | solid bodies. Therefore instances of the fingerpost on this 141 1, XXXVI | occur to me at present as instances of the fingerpost with reference 142 1, XXXVI | this subject we may have instances of the fingerpost of two 143 1, XXXVI | air.~Let this suffice for instances of the fingerpost. I have 144 1, XXXVI | themselves to judge of nature by instances of the fingerpost and experiments 145 1, XXXVII | XXXVII~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the fifteenth 146 1, XXXVII | put in the fifteenth place Instances of Divorce, which indicate 147 1, XXXVII | occurrence. They differ from the instances subjoined to the instances 148 1, XXXVII | instances subjoined to the instances of companionship, in that 149 1, XXXVII | conjunction, while these instances indicate the separation 150 1, XXXVII | another. They differ from instances of the fingerpost, in that 151 1, XXXVII | We find, however, many instances of divorce between them. 152 1, XXXVIII| Now follow five classes of instances which under one general 153 1, XXXVIII| one general name I call Instances of the Lamp, or of First 154 1, XXXVIII| everything proceed.~Of these five instances of the lamp, the first strengthen, 155 1, XXXIX | XXXIX~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the sixteenth 156 1, XXXIX | put in the sixteenth place Instances of the Door or Gate, this 157 1, XXXIX | being the name I give to instances which aid the immediate 158 1, XXXIX | And if there are other instances which aid the remaining 159 1, XL | XL~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the seventeenth 160 1, XL | seventeenth place Summoning Instances, borrowing the name from 161 1, XL | I also call them Evoking Instances.

This class of instances escapes the observation 168 1, XLII | XLII~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the nineteenth 169 1, XLII | Supplementary or Substitutive Instances, which I also call Instances 170 1, XLII | Instances, which I also call Instances of Refuge. They are those 171 1, XLII | to them when appropriate instances are not to be had. Now substitution 172 1, XLII | regard to these supplementary instances, although I stated that 173 1, XLII | from them in the absence of instances proper, as a last resource, 174 1, XLII | great use even when proper instances are at hand — for the purpose, 175 1, XLIII | XLIII~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the twentieth 176 1, XLIII | twentieth place Dissecting Instances, which I also call Awakening 177 1, XLIII | which I also call Awakening Instances, but for a different reason. 178 1, XLIII | other. To these dissecting instances it is useful however to 179 1, XLIII | useful however to subjoin instances which I call limits of dissection, 180 1, XLIV | XLIV~So much for instances which aid the senses, instances 181 1, XLIV | instances which aid the senses, instances which are chiefly useful 182 1, XLIV | proceed therefore with the instances which are pre-eminently 183 1, XLIV | general name of Practical Instances. In the operative part there 184 1, XLIV | corresponding prerogatives of instances. For operation either fails 185 1, XLIV | practice inefficient. The four instances which are useful in this 186 1, XLIV | one head as Mathematical Instances and Instances of Measurement.~ 187 1, XLIV | Mathematical Instances and Instances of Measurement.~Operation 188 1, XLIV | any particular work. Those instances therefore ought to be valued 189 1, XLIV | and provision. The three instances which serve us here I class 190 1, XLIV | Propitious or Benevolent Instances. These seven instances I 191 1, XLIV | Benevolent Instances. These seven instances I will now discuss separately, 192 1, XLIV | the Prerogative or Rank of Instances.~ 193 1, XLV | XLV~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the twenty-first 194 1, XLV | in the twenty-first place Instances of the Rod or Rule, which 195 1, XLV | Rule, which I also call Instances of Range or of Limitation. 196 1, XLVI | XLVI~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the twenty-second 197 1, XLVI | the twenty-second place Instances of the Course, which I also 198 1, XLVI | Course, which I also call Instances of the Water, borrowing 199 1, XLVI | periods of time, as the instances of the rod by degrees of 200 1, XLVII | XLVII~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the twenty-third 201 1, XLVII | in the twenty-third place Instances of Quantity, which (borrowing 202 1, XLVIII | XLVIII~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the twenty-fourth 203 1, XLVIII | the twenty-fourth place Instances of Strife, which I also 204 1, XLVIII | Strife, which I also call Instances of Predominance.

For example, the daily 209 1, XLVIII | of their predominancy by instances of strife, I now make mention 210 1, XLVIII | virtues and finding out instances of strife, which is our 211 1, XLVIII | And so of other cases. Instances of strife, therefore, which 212 1, XLIX | XLIX~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the twenty-fifth 213 1, XLIX | twenty-fifth place intimating instances, those, I mean, which intimate 214 1, L | L~Among Prerogative Instances I will put in the twenty-sixth 215 1, L | twenty-sixth place Polychrest Instances, or Instances of General 216 1, L | Polychrest Instances, or Instances of General Use.

It must be remembered, 228 1, LII | twenty-seven prerogative instances, namely, solitary instances; 229 1, LII | instances, namely, solitary instances; migratory instances; striking 230 1, LII | solitary instances; migratory instances; striking instances; clandestine 231 1, LII | migratory instances; striking instances; clandestine instances; 232 1, LII | striking instances; clandestine instances; constitutive instances; 233 1, LII | instances; constitutive instances; conformable instances; 234 1, LII | constitutive instances; conformable instances; singular instances; deviating 235 1, LII | conformable instances; singular instances; deviating instances; bordering 236 1, LII | singular instances; deviating instances; bordering instances; instances 237 1, LII | deviating instances; bordering instances; instances of power; instances 238 1, LII | instances; bordering instances; instances of power; instances of companionship 239 1, LII | instances; instances of power; instances of companionship and of 240 1, LII | and of enmity; subjunctive instances; instances of alliance; 241 1, LII | subjunctive instances; instances of alliance; instances of 242 1, LII | instances of alliance; instances of the fingerpost; instances 243 1, LII | instances of the fingerpost; instances of divorce; instances of 244 1, LII | fingerpost; instances of divorce; instances of the door; summoning instances; 245 1, LII | instances of the door; summoning instances; instances of the road; 246 1, LII | door; summoning instances; instances of the road; instances supplementary; 247 1, LII | instances of the road; instances supplementary; dissecting 248 1, LII | supplementary; dissecting instances; instances of the rod; instances 249 1, LII | supplementary; dissecting instances; instances of the rod; instances of 250 1, LII | instances; instances of the rod; instances of the course; doses of 251 1, LII | course; doses of nature; instances of strife; intimating instances; 252 1, LII | instances of strife; intimating instances; polychrest instances; magical 253 1, LII | intimating instances; polychrest instances; magical instances. Now 254 1, LII | polychrest instances; magical instances. Now the use of these instances, 255 1, LII | instances. Now the use of these instances, wherein they excel common 256 1, LII | wherein they excel common instances, is found either in the 257 1, LII | the senses, as the five instances of the lamp; the understanding, 258 1, LII | of the form, as solitary instances; or by narrowing and indicating 259 1, LII | affirmative of the form, as instances migratory, striking, of 260 1, LII | either immediately, as instances clandestine, singular, and 261 1, LII | astray by habit, as deviating instances; or by leading it to the 262 1, LII | the universe, as bordering instances; or by guarding it against 263 1, LII | false forms and causes, as instances of the fingerpost and of 264 1, LII | again over old ground, as instances of power; or to what we 265 1, LII | be given, as intimating instances. The four mathematical instances 266 1, LII | instances. The four mathematical instances measure practice: polychrest 267 1, LII | polychrest and magical instances facilitate it.~Again, out 268 1, LII | out of these twenty-seven instances there are some of which 269 1, LII | natures. Of this sort are instances conformable, singular, deviating, 270 1, LII | particular nature.
