  1      1, II   |       pervert men’s dispositions for matter of government and policy,
  2      1, II   |          which was to make the worse matter seem the better, and to
  3      1, II   |       sequence in times.~(3) And for matter of policy and government,
  4      1, II   |          times easily surprised when matter falleth out besides their
  5      1, II   |            reason it cannot be but a matter of doubtful consequence
  6      1, IV   |           and curiosity is either in matter or words: so that in reason
  7      1, IV   |           hunt more after words than matter—more after the choiceness
  8      1, IV   |             than after the weight of matter, worth of subject, soundness
  9      1, IV   |              men study words and not matter; whereof, though I have
 10      1, IV   |          words are but the images of matter, and except they have life
 11      1, IV   |          former: for as substance of matter is better than beauty of
 12      1, IV   |          words, so contrariwise vain matter is worse than vain words:
 13      1, IV   |          spirit, but no soundness of matter or goodness of quality.
 14      1, IV   |              of no great quantity of matter and infinite agitation of
 15      1, IV   |              of man, if it work upon matter, which is the contemplation
 16      1, IV   |            or, as the lawyers speak, matter of fact; or else of matter
 17      1, IV   |           matter of fact; or else of matter of art and opinion. As to
 18      1, IV   |           fraught with much fabulous matter, a great part not only untried,
 19      1, IV   |             with any vain or feigned matter; and yet on the other side
 20      1, IV   |          excellently discerning that matter of manifest truth, such
 21      1, IV   |             mingled or weakened with matter of doubtful credit; and
 22      1, V    |           the true direction in this matter, State super vias antiquas,
 23      1, V    |             judgments, which, till a matter be done, wonder that it
 24      1, VI   |        making the subsistence of the matter, and the other in disposing
 25      1, VI   |      creation, the confused mass and matter of heaven and earth was
 26      1, VI   |             of consequence have been matter of delight in the experiment,
 27      1, VI   |              the experiment, and not matter of labour for the use. Again,
 28      1, VI   |        manifestly touched. So again, matter of astronomy: Spiritus ejus
 29      1, VI   |              in that climate unseen. Matter of generation: Annon sicut
 30      1, VI   |            caseum coagulasti me? &c. Matter of minerals: Habet argentum
 31      1, VII  |              of the world) enjoyed—a matter revealed and prefigured
 32      1, VII  | commemoration; wherein, although the matter will be vulgar, and may
 33      1, VII  |         answered, “Yea, that was the matter, because they thought they
 34      1, VII  |              of Aristotle, to take a matter both ways, pro et contra, &
 35      1, VII  |         steal the victory.”~(18) For matter of policy, weigh that significant
 36      1, VII  |          admired the solid weight of matter, and the real passages and
 37      1, VIII |             virtue let us pass on to matter of power and commandment,
 38      1, VIII |             schoolmasters have, is a matter of small honour; to have
 39      2, Int  |           and familiar. The one is a matter, which though it be ancient
 40      2, Int  |             to set forth and dispose matter: and therefore for minds
 41      2, Int  |             empty and unfraught with matter, and which have not gathered
 42      2, II   |             continued. But this is a matter of magnificence, rather
 43      2, II   |             not take rest, contained matter of affairs, indeed, but
 44      2, IV   |              not tied to the laws of matter, may at pleasure join that
 45      2, IV   |        senses in respect of words or matter. In the first sense, it
 46      2, VII  |            that which is inherent in matter, and therefore transitory;
 47      2, VII  |            but the efficient and the matter. Physic hath three parts,
 48      2, VII  |           absolutely abstracted from matter, and not confined and determined
 49      2, VII  |           confined and determined by matter; and so turning his opinion
 50      2, VII  |              the essences (upheld by matter) of all creatures do consist;
 51      2, VII  |           nature upon any variety of matter; and so is less restrained
 52      2, VII  |           either to the basis of the matter, or the condition of the
 53      2, VII  |            speak of it; for order is matter of illustration, but pertaineth
 54      2, VIII |        abstracted and separable from matter, and therefore most proper
 55      2, VIII |           which are more immersed in matter. For it being the nature
 56      2, VIII |           and nothing concerning the matter or subject: and that is
 57      2, VIII |   magistrality, it cannot but seem a matter of great profit, to see
 58      2, X    |             hath over the variety of matter or form. Nothing more variable
 59      2, X    |             to the senate; so in the matter we now handle, they be the

 61      2, XIII |              to the duty or art, for matter of invention.~(3) Secondly,
 62      2, XIII |           mixtures of logic with the matter of sciences. For in these
 63      2, XIV  |              certain subjects in the matter of sciences, in which respectively
 64      2, XV   |             of common-places to be a matter of great use and essence
 65      2, XVII |            is commonly an end of the matter for that time, and no proceeding
 66      2, XVII |              use the plant, it is no matter for the roots—but if you
 67      2, XVII |            sciences grow, it is less matter for the shaft or body of
 68      2, XVII |          according to the subject or matter which is handled. For there
 69      2, XVII |            method in multiformity of matter, yet we see how that opinion,
 70      2, XVII |             not as to their truth or matter, but as to their limitation
 71      2, XVIII|            is commonly an end of the matter for that time, and no proceeding
 72      2, XVIII|              use the plant, it is no matter for the roots—but if you
 73      2, XVIII|            sciences grow, it is less matter for the shaft or body of

 78      2, XIX  |           neither was there any such matter; but he played it merely
 79      2, XX   |      resplendent or lustrous mass of matter, chosen to give glory either
 80      2, XXI  |            speculative men of active matter for the most part doth seem
 81      2, XXI  |        censure shall be sure to find matter for his humour, but no matter
 82      2, XXI  |        matter for his humour, but no matter for his instruction: Quaerenti
 83      2, XXII |        because it consisteth of much matter, wherein both speech and
 84      2, XXII |         conversation or talk, but in matter of more serious nature (
 85      2, XXII |           pretermitted by others, as matter of common sense and experience,
 86      2, XXIII|           others is most immersed in matter, and hardliest reduced to
 87      2, XXIII|               whether a man turn the matter to jest, or turn it to heat,
 88      2, XXIII|           have we spoken both of the matter and form of this part of

104      2, XXV  |         sense we give consent to the matter, and not to the author;
105      2, XXV  |             two principal parts: the matter informed or revealed, and
106      2, XXV  |           and what perfective, being matter of further building and

110      2, XXV  |            divinity is of two kinds: matter of belief and truth of opinion,
111      2, XXV  |            and truth of opinion, and matter of service and adoration;
112      2, XXV  |         creation, in the mass of the matter, to the Father; in the disposition
113      2, XXV  |            commandments. Sin, in the matter and subject thereof, is
114      2, XXV  |              civil estate.~(24) This matter of divinity is handled either
