Dialogue

 1 1|          Since, for aught you can tell, I am as peremptory in my
 2 1|         questions of this kind, I tell you once for all, that by
 3 1|         mind?~HYL. It must.~PHIL. Tell me, Hylas, is this real
 4 1|         well as the least?~HYL. I tell you, the reason is plainly
 5 1|          the point still clearer; tell me whether, in two cases
 6 1|         am at a loss to conceive. Tell me then once more, do you
 7 1|          then a sensation?~HYL. I tell you, as perceived by us,
 8 1|         told you so before.~PHIL. Tell me, Hylas, to which of the
 9 1|          repeat the same thing? I tell you, we do not.~PHIL. Have
10 1|         patience, good Hylas; and tell me once more, whether there
11 1|         to the naked eye. And now tell me whether you are still
12 1|        then a substance?~HYL. . I tell you, Philonous, external
13 1|    decided. Without doubt you can tell whether you are able to
14 1|         passive? HYL. I am.~PHIL. Tell me now, whether SEEING consists
15 1|       your own thoughts, and then tell me whether it be not as
16 1|   distinct from extension?~HYL. I tell you, extension is only a
17 1| understand something by them. You tell me Matter supports or stands
18 1|     little on the point, and then tell me whether there be any
19 1|           the senses you can best tell whether you perceive anything
20 1|           In the very same.~PHIL. Tell me, Hylas, when you behold
21 1|        and examine them, and then tell me if there be anything
22 2|      occasions of our ideas. Pray tell me whether by the BRAIN
23 2|          be, I call Matter.~PHIL. Tell me, Hylas, hath every one
24 2|        suppose a traveller should tell you that in a certain country
25 2|         is vulgarly received; and tell me you understand by it,
26 2|           Hold, Philonous. When I tell you Matter is an INSTRUMENT,
27 2|         being. Only be pleased to tell me whether it is a Substance;
28 2|         farther questions, let me tell you I at present understand
29 2|          PHIL. Since you will not tell me where it exists, be pleased
30 2|       notion or meaning at all. I tell you again, I am not ashamed
31 2|          same ingenuous part, and tell me sincerely whether you
32 2|           None at all.~PHIL. Pray tell me if the case stands not
33 3|         THIRD DIALOGUE~PHILONOUS. Tell me, Hylas, what are the
34 3|         in itself.~PHIL. Will you tell me I do not really know
35 3|         the real tree or stone? I tell you that colour, figure,
36 3|        for?~HYL. How often must I tell you, that I know not the
37 3|     scepticism that ever man was. Tell me, Hylas, is it not as
38 3|        man you meet, and he shall tell you, TO BE PERCEIVED is
39 3|          the garden, and he shall tell you, because he sees and
40 3|         to be there, and he shall tell you, because he does not
41 3|   meantime, let it suffice that I tell you, I do not suppose God
42 3|        whereas I did not; I would tell you, I know not what you
43 3|    understand it in, you only can tell.~HYL. But, Philonous, you
44 3|       your own thoughts, and then tell me if they are not a useless
45 3|          not quite satisfied. You tell me indeed of a repugnancy
46 3|         in our minds: and who can tell but the unthinking external
