  7 1|        heat cannot exist but in a mind perceiving it.~PHIL. What!
  8 1|          cannot exist without the mind.~PHIL. It hath not therefore

 10 1|           pain exists only in the mind. But, as for all other degrees

 13 1|     supposed to exist without the mind, than heat and cold?~HYL.
 14 1|         do they exist without the mind, or no?~HYL. Can any man
 15 1|   substances existing without the mind, how can sweetness and bitterness,
 16 1|          do not exist without the mind?~HYL. I see it is to no

 31 1|        they too exist only in the mind.~PHIL. Is it your opinion
 32 1|     another twice as fast in your mind as they do in mine, or in
 33 1|          no existence without the mind, the same must necessarily
 34 1|      motion exist not without the mind, that therefore absolute
 35 1| acknowledged to exist only in the mind, I will then yield the point
 36 1|         form the idea of it in my mind exclusive of body? or, because

 38 1|           impossible even for the mind to disunite the ideas of
 39 1|      denied existence without the mind. But, my fear is that I
 40 1|         may not exist without the mind, yet it will not thence
 41 1|          take to be an act of the mind perceiving; besides which,
 42 1|        real existence without the mind, in some unthinking substance.~

 47 1|     perception.~PHIL. When is the mind said to be active?~HYL.
 48 1|           anything.~PHIL. Can the mind produce, discontinue, or

 51 1|        singly subsist without the mind. Colour cannot without extension,
 52 1|     supposed to exist without the mind.~PHIL. Either, Hylas, you
 53 1|       were not AT ALL without the mind. Indeed, in treating of
 54 1|       could not exist without the mind, because it was impossible
 55 1|    whatever, to exist without the mind, then I will grant it actually
 56 1|           and unperceived by, any mind whatsoever? I do at this
 57 1|        conceived is surely in the mind?~HYL. Without question,
 58 1|      which is conceived is in the mind.~PHIL. How then came you
 59 1|          to frame ideas in my own mind. I may indeed conceive in
 60 1|       exist otherwise than in the mind?~HYL. I do.~PHIL. And yet
 61 1|           dream to be without the mind?~HYL. By no means.~PHIL.
 62 1|           objects are without the mind, from their appearance,
 63 1|       actually exists without the mind. By sense you only know
 64 1|           not say are without the mind.~HYL. True: but, beside
 65 1|  sensations, existing only in his mind?~HYL. It is undeniable.~
 66 1| acknowledged they are only in the mind.~PHIL. But do not colours
 67 1|      immediately perceived by the mind, yet it would not thence
 68 1|      follow it existed out of the mind. For, whatever is immediately
 69 1|         any idea exist out of the mind?~HYL. To suppose that were

 71 1|         one sense SUGGESTS to the mind others, perhaps belonging
 72 1|         are only suggested to the mind by experience, grounded
 73 1|          do not exist without the mind, but that they are copies,
 74 1|       things existing without the mind.~PHIL. How then is it possible
 75 1|       which can exist without the mind: or if you can conceive
 76 1|         them existing without the mind.~HYL. Upon inquiry, I find
 77 1|        IDEA CAN EXIST WITHOUT THE MIND.~PHIL. You are therefore,
 78 1|         existence exterior to the mind. That is to say, you are
 79 2|           these exist only in the mind. Thus much you have, if
 80 2|         thing, exists only in the mind. Now, I would fain know
 81 2|          or thing existing in the mind occasions all other ideas.
 82 2|          imagined as truly IN THE MIND as things perceived?~HYL.
 83 2|         of sound or colour in the mind? Or how is it possible these

 85 2|   furniture. Though the labouring mind exert and strain each power
 86 2|         exist otherwise than in a mind or spirit. Whence I conclude,
 87 2|          THERE MUST BE SOME OTHER MIND WHEREIN THEY EXIST. As sure,
 88 2|      their being perceived by any mind whatever; which I do not.
 89 2|          PERCEIVED BY AN INFINITE MIND: THEREFORE THERE IS AN INFINITE
 90 2|    THEREFORE THERE IS AN INFINITE MIND OR GOD? This furnishes you
 91 2|  adjustment of things—an infinite Mind should be necessarily inferred
 92 2|         exist otherwise than in a mind. You may now, without any
 93 2|         world, to exist without a mind? Let any one of those abettors
 94 2|        can exist independent of a Mind, and he need go no farther
 95 2|          or represent them to the mind.~PHIL. I do not understand
 96 2|       exist otherwise than in the mind of a Spirit. Besides all
 97 2|           exist unless it be in a mind: nor is it less plain that
 98 2|         exist independently of my mind, since I know myself not
 99 2|     therefore exist in some other Mind, whose Will it is they should
100 2|       produced by, anything but a mind or spirit? This indeed is
101 2|      which I conclude, THERE IS A MIND WHICH AFFECTS ME EVERY MOMENT
102 2|         exist nowhere without the mind; but there is nothing perceived
103 2|           that exists without the mind. The Matter, therefore,
104 2|   substance, existing without the mind. What! Have you already
105 2|        you form ideas in your own mind?~HYL. You are always teasing
106 2|        roots. Are you of the same mind? Or, can you shew any example
107 2|   influenced, directed, or put in mind, when and what He is to
108 2|           things perceived by the mind of God, which are to Him
109 2|       infer that it exists in the mind, since it is agreed that
110 2|      extension exists only in the mind. But I am not ashamed to
111 2|       have not any notion in your mind?~HYL. None at all.~PHIL.
112 2|       objects existed without the mind; then that they are archetypes;
113 2|           a plenary assent in the mind? Let a visible object be
114 2|   substance, existing without the mind? And have not you acknowledged,
115 3|         confirmed you in the same mind you were in at parting?
116 3|          are produced in your own mind, upon the application of
117 3|         or appearance in your own mind. But what is this to the
118 3|           the appearances in your mind, you may perhaps act as
119 3|          cannot exist without the mind; their existence therefore
120 3|          should exist without the mind. Do you not?~PHIL. I do.~
121 3|        then it must be in another mind. When I deny sensible things
122 3|           an existence out of the mind, I do not mean my mind in
123 3|        the mind, I do not mean my mind in particular, but all minds.
124 3|          existence exterior to my mind; since I find them by experience
125 3|           is therefore some other Mind wherein they exist, during
126 3|         is an OMNIPRESENT ETERNAL MIND, which knows and comprehends
127 3|           you have no IDEA of the mind of God, how can you conceive
128 3|        things should exist in His mind? Or, if you can conceive
129 3|           if you can conceive the mind of God, without having an
130 3|           colour, or a sound. The Mind, Spirit, or Soul is that
131 3|   reflexion and reasoning. My own mind and my own ideas I have
132 3|         all created things in the mind of God. So much for your
133 3|       Self, that is, my own soul, mind, or thinking principle,
134 3|           an existence out of his mind: what answer think you he
135 3|          it doth exist out of his mind. But then to a Christian
136 3|        tree, existing without his mind, is truly known and comprehended
137 3|           EXISTS IN) the infinite mind of God. Probably he may
138 3|         sensible thing, implies a mind wherein it is. But the point
139 3|         REAL existence out of the mind of this or that person,
140 3|       they are all equally in the mind?~PHIL. The ideas formed
141 3|            being imprinted on the mind by a spirit distinct from
142 3|         necessary relation to the mind is understood to be implied
143 3|      existence, perceived by some mind; if not by a finite created
144 3|           not by a finite created mind, yet certainly by the infinite
145 3|         certainly by the infinite mind of God, in whom “we five,
146 3|          is inert operates on the mind, and which is unperceiving
147 3|       give me leave to put you in mind of one thing. Pray, Philonous,
148 3|           but) Powers without the mind, corresponding to those
149 3|         is this: because I have a mind to have some notion of meaning
150 3|       their archetypes, out of MY mind: but, being ideas, neither
151 3|          in the strictest sense a mind or spirit. The powerful
152 3|           from without are in the mind which affects us. The ideas,
153 3|         from being perceived by a mind. So that this connexion
154 3|           pain or pleasure in His mind. To know everything knowable,
155 3|           admitted, embarrass the mind with endless doubts and
156 3|      without being perceived by a Mind. And, if this notion be
157 3|      united into one thing by the mind. And, indeed, there is cause
158 3|       absolute existence out of a mind: nor consequently, according
159 3|          SAME idea which is in my mind cannot be in yours, or in
160 3|         in yours, or in any other mind. Doth it not therefore follow,
161 3|     EXTERNAL, I MEAN, TO YOUR OWN MIND: though indeed it must be’
162 3|         supposed to exist in that Mind which comprehends all things;
163 3|         as if it existed out of a mind. And I am sure you yourself
164 3|           name given them) by the mind, because they are observed
165 3|           of sensible things IN A MIND, which you have offered
166 3|          say to them.~HYL. Is the mind extended or unextended?~
167 3|          you perceive are in your mind?~PHIL. They are.~HYL. Again,
168 3|           houses to exist in your mind. Can extended things be
169 3|           say objects are in your mind, as books in your study:
170 3|        objects as existing in the mind, or imprinted on the senses,
171 3|          meaning is only that the mind comprehends or perceives
172 3|         as things existing in the mind. ‘Nor is there anything
173 3|       which, being applied to the mind, must not be taken in their
174 3|       fictions and fancies of the mind, then these are no ideas.
175 3|          unperceived, or out of a mind, then these things are ideas.
176 3|    pretend they exist without the mind.~HYL. Pray let me see any
177 3|          eternal existence in His mind: but when things, before
178 3|       might begin to exist in the mind of other created intelligences,
179 3|       consist in their being in a mind? And were not all things
180 3|           things eternally in the mind of God? Did they not therefore
181 3|          to be, in respect of the mind of God. So we are agreed
182 3|      existence extrinsical to the mind of God, as well as to the
183 3|           from everlasting in the mind of God. Is not this agreeable
184 3|      efficiency of an All-perfect Mind, are not all the effects
185 3|            nor apprehended by the mind. Remember I say, that it
186 3|         from being perceived by a mind: but are never used by common
187 3|          the depraved bent of the mind towards Atheism than the
188 3|         substance exterior to the mind, I think you ought not to
189 3|  qualities subsisting only in the mind. I freely own there is no
190 3|    substance existing without the mind; but if by MATTER is meant
191 3|           WHICH EXIST ONLY IN THE MIND. Which two notions put together,
