  3      1, I    |             that knowledge is of those things which are to be accepted
  4      1, I    |               thus: “God hath made all things beautiful, or decent, in

  7      1, I    |            these sensible and material things to attain that light, whereby
  8      1, I    |             the sense discover natural things, but it darkeneth and shutteth

 11      1, II   |         regular, it teacheth them what things are in their nature demonstrative,
 12      1, II   |      unworthily ambitious to meddle in things that may be better done
 13      1, II   |           great difference between the things that you and I do by lamp-light.”
 14      1, III  |     traducement is (if you will reduce things from popularity of opinion

 16      1, III  |             sometimes too far to bring things to perfection, and to reduce

 27      1, VII  |          rather to use choice of those things which we shall produce,
 28      1, VII  |             make them not audible, all things dissolve into anarchy and
 29      1, VII  |              desired to comprehend all things, and not to reserve himself
 30      1, VII  |              himself for the worthiest things, falling into the like humour
 31      1, VII  |                so bad as to know these things better than I.” It pleased
 32      1, VII  |         solitary and of herself; these things, I say, considered, as I
 33      1, VII  |                somewhat idle to recite things that every man knoweth;

 35      1, VII  |          posset dare.” There were more things which Diogenes would have
 36      1, VII  |               mortality chiefly in two things, sleep and lust;” and see
 37      1, VII  |              we have now but these two things left, our arms and our virtue;
 38      1, VIII |               of all weakness. For all things are admired, either because
 39      1, VIII |              and corruptible nature of things, he will easily concur with
 40      1, VIII |           popular judgments. For these things must continue as they have
 41      2, Int  |             these do respect but a few things. In general, there will
 42      2, Int  |              two, for example sake, of things that are the most obvious
 43      2, Int  |         foresee likewise that of those things which I shall enter and
 44      2, Int  |                be but curiosities, and things of no great use; and others
 45      2, Int  |         impossibility, I take it those things are to be held possible
 46      2, I    |             and popular errors. For as things now are, if an untruth in
 47      2, I    |         howsoever the practice of such things is to be condemned, yet
 48      2, I    |         scruple of entering into these things for inquisition of truth,
 49      2, I    |               pass that mean and small things discover great, better than
 50      2, II   |             judgment. But mixtures are things irregular, whereof no man
 51      2, IV   |                matches and divorces of things—Pictoribus atque poetis, &
 52      2, IV   |           points wherein the nature of things doth deny it, the world

 55      2, IV   |                mind unto the nature of things. And we see that by these
 56      2, V    |        philosophy or humanity. For all things are marked and stamped with
 57      2, V    |              is current, that the same things are handled but in several

 59      2, V    |             those extern characters of things, as philosophers, and in
 60      2, V    |               give the reason why some things in nature are so common,
 61      2, V    |              Why in all diversities of things there should be certain
 62      2, V    |               those common adjuncts of things, as in nature; and only
 63      2, VI   |              thereby that there be two things only forbidden—adoration
 64      2, VII  |                one, to be two distinct things. For the one I have made
 65      2, VII  |              describeth the variety of things; physic the causes, but
 66      2, VII  |         contexture or configuration of things, as de mundo, de universitate
 67      2, VII  |             principles or originals of things. The third is the doctrine
 68      2, VII  |           variety and particularity of things; whether it be of the differing
 69      2, VII  |               to those which refer all things to the glory of God, they

 71      2, VII  |                forms or differences of things, which are few in number,
 72      2, VII  |              or reason in the frame of things, but attributed the form
 73      2, VIII |             agreeable to the nature of things, and to the light of order,
 74      2, VIII |              of the essential forms of things, as that that is causative
 75      2, VIII |           figure to the first seeds of things, and the other did suppose
 76      2, VIII |            principles and originals of things. And it is true also that
 77      2, VIII |                that Caesar did greater things de vero than those imaginary
 78      2, VIII |           naturally result a note what things are yet held impossible,
 79      2, VIII |             laboureth to make doubtful things certain, and not those which
 80      2, VIII |           which labour to make certain things doubtful. Therefore these
 81      2, VIII |          doubts I commend as excellent things; so that there he this caution

 83      2, X    |                s body is, of all other things in nature, most susceptible
 84      2, X    |            respect to all varieties of things, as stars, planets, minerals,
 85      2, X    |               body of man of all other things is of the most compounded
 86      2, X    |               But, nevertheless, these things which we have spoken of
 87      2, X    |             none but wonders: for many things are new in this manner,
 88      2, X    |              it to this part. Of these things the practices are known,
 89      2, X    |                the mediocrity of these things is for use; as for the excellency

 92      2, XII  |         natures. But to speak truly of things as they are in worth, rational

103      2, XV   |              visible notes of words or things, it hath nearest conjugation

122      2, XIX  |              next in nature, and those things which are next in use. For

131      2, XXI  |        extending their form upon other things: whereof the multiplying,
132      2, XXI  |             signature of it upon other things, is that which we handled

134      2, XXI  |             non habes. Men must pursue things which are just in present,
135      2, XXII |                  and yet no doubt many things are left to the discretion
136      2, XXII |          therefore, in this, as in all things which are practical we ought

138      2, XXII |             limited and tied. In these things, therefore, it is left unto
139      2, XXII |              but it must be but in few things at once; and so there cometh
140      2, XXII |          conversation (supposing it in things which do in no sort touch
141      2, XXII |              and supposing it still in things merely indifferent), to
142      2, XXII |       negligent opinion, that of those things which consist by Nature,
