Whatsoever the mind perceives in itself, or 185 II, VIII | produce any idea in our mind, I call quality of the subject 186 II, VIII | to be perceived; and the mind finds inseparable from every 187 II, VIII | idea or existence, in the mind or in the manna. And this, 188 II, VIII | and thereby produce in the mind particular distinct ideas, 189 II, VIII | produced by them in the mind, to be distinctly conceived, 190 II, VIII | motion, should produce in the mind the ideas of blue or yellow, & 191 II, IX | the first faculty of the mind exercised about our ideas; 192 II, IX | sort of operation in the mind about its ideas, wherein 193 II, IX | about its ideas, wherein the mind is active; where it, with 194 II, IX | bare naked perception, the mind is, for the most part, only 195 II, IX | on what passes in his own mind cannot miss it.

The mind very often sets itself on 224 II, X | occasion revived by the mind, that they are not only ( 225 II, X | ones, but also that the mind takes notice of them as 226 II, X | quick enough to serve the mind upon occasion.

The mind, without looking any further, 236 II, XI | of bitter in that man’s mind would be as clear and distinct 237 II, XI | produces them both in the mind at the same time. And the 238 II, XI | that are produced in the mind by the same parcel of the 239 II, XI | another operation of the mind about its ideas, and is 240 II, XI | operation we may observe in the mind about its ideas is COMPOSITION; 241 II, XI | endless. To prevent this, the mind makes the particular ideas 242 II, XI | them as they are in the mind such appearances,—separate 243 II, XI | naked appearances in the mind, without considering how, 244 II, XI | chalk or snow, which the mind yesterday received from 245 II, XI | faculties and operations of the mind, which it makes use of in 246 II, XI | of these faculties of the mind to that of simple ideas, 247 II, XI | observing the faculties of the mind, how they operate about 248 II, XI | examine and learn how the mind extracts, denominates, compares, 249 II, XI | these very operations of the mind about ideas received from 250 II, XI | human knowledge;—whence the mind has its first objects; and 251 II, XII | Complex Ideas ~1. Made by the mind out of simple ones. We have 252 II, XII | the reception whereof the mind is only passive, which are 253 II, XII | before mentioned, whereof the mind cannot make one to itself, 254 II, XII | consist of them. But as the mind is wholly passive in the 255 II, XII | framed. The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power 256 II, XII | united together, so the mind has a power to consider 257 II, XII | ones, yet are, when the mind pleases, considered each 258 II, XII | together its ideas, the mind has great power in varying 259 II, XII | themselves, and of these the mind can have no more, nor other 260 II, XII | being no other than what the mind, by the ordinary use of 261 II, XIII | that they come into the mind, than as distinguished from 262 II, XIII | the same idea; which the mind either finds in things existing, 263 II, XIII | and distinct ideas in the mind as those of the greatest 264 II, XIII | figure, which affords to the mind infinite variety. For, besides 265 II, XIII | matter, the stock that the mind has in its power, by varying 266 II, XIII | variety of figures. For the mind having a power to repeat 267 II, XIII | variety of figures that the mind has a power to make, and 268 II, XIII | or expansion, wherein the mind finds no variety, no marks. 269 II, XIII | find out, and frame in his mind, clearly and distinctly, 270 II, XIII | wholly separable in the mind one from another. Body then 271 II, XIII | mentally is, to make in the mind two superficies, where before 272 II, XIII | things considered by the mind as capable of being separated; 273 II, XIII | It is not easy for the mind to put off those confused 274 II, XIV | observe what passes in his own mind, that there is a train of 275 II, XIV | keep only one idea in his mind, without variation and the 276 II, XIV | of ideas that pass in his mind, whilst he is taken up with 277 II, XIV | themselves perceptible in his mind one after another, he hath 278 II, XIV | he will perhaps be of my mind when he considers, that 279 II, XIV | even motion produces in his mind an idea of succession no 280 II, XIV | own thoughts in his own mind, appearing one after another, 281 II, XIV | any train of ideas in the mind, are not also perceived. 282 II, XIV | the senses, as fast as the mind is capable of receiving 283 II, XIV | ordinary course come into our mind, between those which are 284 II, XIV | of rest between.~13. The mind cannot fix long on one invariable 285 II, XIV | a long time alone in his mind, without any variation at 286 II, XIV | unvaried single idea in his mind, without any other, for 287 II, XIV | all other ideas out of his mind; but that some, either of 288 II, XIV | case, I think, is only to mind and observe what the ideas 289 II, XIV | several ideas in a man’s mind be made by certain motions, 290 II, XIV | next thing natural for the mind to do, is to get some measure 291 II, XIV | duration before time. The mind having once got such a measure 292 II, XIV | may easily conceive in his mind the beginning of motion, 293 II, XIV | largest comprehension of the mind; and all for the same reason, 294 II, XIV | interval of duration, in my mind, and applying that to the 295 II, XV | expansion and duration) the mind has this common idea of 296 II, XV | not bounded by matter. The mind, having got the idea of 297 II, XV | arrive at: but when the mind is there, it finds nothing 298 II, XV | so is it in duration. The mind having got the idea of any 299 II, XV | simple ideas. Could the mind, as in number, come to so 300 II, XV | duration. But, since the mind is not able to frame an 301 II, XV | years in duration);—the mind makes use, I say, of such 302 II, XV | larger ideas, which the mind upon occasion makes by the 303 II, XV | unit in number, when the mind by division would reduce 304 II, XVI | is none suggested to the mind by more ways, so there is 305 II, XVI | is required, (1) That the mind distinguish carefully two 306 II, XVI | that it is that which the mind makes use of in measuring 307 II, XVI | numbers, so apparent to the mind, is that, I think, which 308 II, XVII | what infinity is by the mind more immediately attributed; 309 II, XVII | attributed; and then how the mind comes to frame it.~Finite 310 II, XVII | to be looked upon by the mind as the modes of quantity, 311 II, XVII | and infinite, being by the mind looked on as modifications 312 II, XVII | considered, is,—How the mind comes by them. As for the 313 II, XVII | carry with them into the mind the idea of finite: and 314 II, XVII | is the way whereby the mind gets the idea of infinite 315 II, XVII | to examine whether the mind has the idea of such a boundless 316 II, XVII | existence), it is impossible the mind should be ever able to find 317 II, XVII | from putting a stop to the mind in its further progress 318 II, XVII | a stop, and satisfy the mind that it is at the end of 319 II, XVII | it. So that wherever the mind places itself by any thought, 320 II, XVII | put them together in your mind, they embody, as it were, 321 II, XVII | repetition, leave in the mind an idea of endless room 322 II, XVII | the endless increase the mind is able to make in quantity, 323 II, XVII | supposed idea of quantity the mind can be thought to have, 324 II, XVII | idea of any quantity the mind has, being at that time 325 II, XVII | endless progression of the mind, over what repeated ideas 326 II, XVII | to have actually in the mind the idea of a space infinite, 327 II, XVII | infinite, is to suppose the mind already passed over, and 328 II, XVII | and wherein we allow the mind an endless progression of 329 II, XVII | let a man frame in his mind an idea of any space or 330 II, XVII | he will; it is plain the mind rests and terminates in 331 II, XVII | space or number which the mind actually has, and so views 332 II, XVII | idea of space I have in my mind, it is no larger than it 333 II, XVII | space and duration, when the mind pursues the idea of infinity, 334 II, XVII | confused heap, wherein the mind loses itself; and when it 335 II, XVII | its fractions, wherein the mind also can proceed in infinitum, 336 II, XVII | power leaves always to the mind room for endless additions;— 337 II, XVII | something in the posture of the mind reaching after a complete 338 II, XVII | farther. So much as the mind comprehends of any space, 339 II, XVII | incomplete. So much space as the mind takes a view of in its contemplation 340 II, XVII | by the quickest flight of mind reach it, or by thinking 341 II, XVII | positive idea of it in his mind, and so can frame one of 342 II, XVII | thoughts, by multiplying in his mind that first large idea: but 343 II, XVII | if these men are of the mind, that they have clearer 344 II, XVII | positive ideas a man has in his mind of any quantity, he can 345 II, XVII | of lengths he has in his mind, and so on as long as he 346 II, XVII | my design to show how the mind receives them, such as they 347 II, XVII | sense, or operation of our mind, has, nevertheless, as all 348 II, XVIII | taken in by sensation, the mind comes to extend itself even 349 II, XVIII | ideas: received into the mind by the senses, and afterwards 350 II, XVIII | together, by the faculty the mind has to repeat its own ideas;— 351 II, XVIII | suffice to show how the mind comes by them, yet I shall, 352 II, XVIII | English has presently in his mind distinct ideas, which are 353 II, XVIII | such modifications, the mind may be furnished with distinct 354 II, XVIII | musician may have in his mind when he hears or makes no 355 II, XVIII | reflection; and that when the mind has them, it can variously 356 II, XIX | modes of thinking.

Sometimes the mind fixes itself with so much 370 II, XIX | intention, and remission of the mind in thinking, with a great 371 II, XIX | further, and you find the mind in sleep retired as it were 372 II, XIX | in this retirement of the mind from the senses, it often 373 II, XIX | hence is, that since the mind can sensibly put on, at 374 II, XX | thought or perception of the mind is simply so, or else accompanied 375 II, XX | understood to mean of body or mind, as they are commonly distinguished; 376 II, XX | different constitutions of the mind, sometimes occasioned by 377 II, XX | sometimes by thoughts of the mind.~3.

These powers of the mind, viz. of perceiving, and 398 II, XXI | are two faculties of the mind; a word proper enough, if 399 II, XXI | extent of this power of the mind over the actions of the 400 II, XXI | or direction of his own mind, so far is a man free. Wherever 401 II, XXI | upon the preference of his mind directing it, there he is 402 II, XXI | determination or thought of the mind, whereby either of them 403 II, XXI | or the direction of his mind, to stop or forbear, nobody 404 II, XXI | to do, according as the mind shall choose or direct. 405 II, XXI | the determination of his mind, if it should prefer it, 406 II, XXI | cannot by any power of his mind stop their motion, (as in 407 II, XXI | the determination of his mind, if it would thereby transfer 408 II, XXI | to the preference of the mind, there we are at liberty. 409 II, XXI | ideas constantly in his mind, is not at liberty to think 410 II, XXI | But yet some ideas to the mind, like some motions to the 411 II, XXI | choose. But as soon as the mind regains the power to stop 412 II, XXI | to that preference of his mind, is called compulsion; when 413 II, XXI | plain, is an act of the mind knowingly exerting that 414 II, XXI | power; the power of the mind to determine its thought, 415 II, XXI | actual preference in the mind; which is the same thing 416 II, XXI | different powers in the mind, or in the man, to do several 417 II, XXI | the actual choice of the mind, the cause of actual thinking 418 II, XXI | on another: but it is the mind that operates, and exerts 419 II, XXI | discourses concerning the mind, with the name of faculties, 420 II, XXI | faculties, both in the body and mind: they both of them have 421 II, XXI | motive faculty. And so in the mind, the intellectual faculty, 422 II, XXI | direction or choice of his mind, preferring the existence 423 II, XXI | by a like thought of my mind, preferring one to the other, 424 II, XXI | free. But the inquisitive mind of man, willing to shift 425 II, XXI | and determination of his mind; that is, by his willing 426 II, XXI | actions, as I have shown, the mind, in respect of willing, 427 II, XXI | wherein consists liberty. The mind, in that case, has not a 428 II, XXI | willing is an act of the mind directing its thought to 429 II, XXI | nothing but a power in the mind to direct the operative 430 II, XXI | and proper answer is, The mind. For that which determines 431 II, XXI | is this,—What moves the mind, in every particular instance, 432 II, XXI | motive that works on the mind to put it upon action, which 433 II, XXI | to mark that act of the mind whose proper name is willing 434 II, XXI | by reflecting on his own mind, and observing what it does 435 II, XXI | and several acts of the mind that are quite distinct 436 II, XXI | upon what passes in his mind when he wills, shall see 437 II, XXI | particular determination of the mind, whereby, barely by a thought 438 II, XXI | barely by a thought the mind endeavours to give rise, 439 II, XXI | two distinct acts of the mind; and consequently, that 440 II, XXI | is an uneasiness of the mind for want of some absent 441 II, XXI | soever, and disquiet of the mind, is uneasiness: and with 442 II, XXI | it is true, work upon the mind. But that which immediately 443 II, XXI | be brought home to the mind and made present. The idea 444 II, XXI | it indeed may be in the mind, and viewed as present there; 445 II, XXI | but nothing will be in the mind as a present good, able 446 II, XXI | Till then, the idea in the mind of whatever is good is there 447 II, XXI | the contemplation of the mind fixed to that good.~39. 448 II, XXI | would be the state of the mind, and regular tendency of 449 II, XXI | sometimes moved and affected the mind, does not stedfastly hold 450 II, XXI | all the thoughts of the mind and powers of the body are 451 II, XXI | the present state of the mind. Nay, there is, I think, 452 II, XXI | that takes place in the mind, the will presently is by 453 II, XXI | pleasure and pain of the mind as well as the body,-”With 454 II, XXI | truly, they are all of the mind; though some have their 455 II, XXI | some have their rise in the mind from thought, others in 456 II, XXI | brought it nearer to our mind, given some relish of it, 457 II, XXI | when there is any in the mind, being only, which desire 458 II, XXI | any desire, remains in our mind, there is no room for good, 459 II, XXI | but not always. For, the mind having in most cases, as 460 II, XXI | perfect indifference in the mind, not determinable by its 461 II, XXI | happens) possesses our whole mind, as when the pain of the 462 II, XXI | not of the same sort. The mind has a different relish, 463 II, XXI | enjoyments, and carry the mind out to absent good, according 464 II, XXI | present pleasure and pain, the mind, as has been said, never 465 II, XXI | and so takes up the whole mind that it scarce leaves any 466 II, XXI | none. The relish of the mind is as various as that of 467 II, XXI | man’s palate, may move the mind by the delight itself that 468 II, XXI | to act, according as the mind directs. A power to direct 469 II, XXI | inquire into the knowledge the mind has of things, by those 470 II, XXI | receive from them, and how the mind comes by that knowledge; 471 II, XXII | ideas put together by the mind, are thereby distinguished 472 II, XXII | substances.~2. Made by the mind. That the mind, in respect 473 II, XXII | Made by the mind. That the mind, in respect of its simple 474 II, XXII | original quite different. The mind often exercises an active 475 II, XXII | ideas, it sufficed that the mind put the parts of them together, 476 II, XXII | framed that idea in his mind without having any such 477 II, XXII | ideas, be represented to the mind of one who understands those 478 II, XXII | were never offered to his mind by the real existence of 479 II, XXII | unity from an act of the mind, combining those several 480 II, XXII | had an idea of it in his mind before it ever existed. ( 481 II, XXII | 2) Certain ideas in the mind of the speaker. (3) Those 482 II, XXII | they stand for are in the mind of the speaker. I think 483 II, XXII | reason to fear that the mind is hereby stinted to too 484 II, XXII | which are actions of the mind; running and speaking, which 485 II, XXII | call mixed modes; how the mind comes by them; and that 486 II, XXIII | substances, how made. The mind being, as I have declared, 487 II, XXIII | concerning the operations of the mind, viz. thinking, reasoning, 488 II, XXIII | language, frames in his mind a combination of those several 489 II, XXIII | meets with at rest, so the mind can put bodies into motion, 490 II, XXIII | well consider it in his mind, may have reason to conclude, 491 II, XXIII | borrowed motion: whereas the mind every day affords us ideas 492 II, XXIII | comprehend neither. For, when the mind would look beyond those 493 II, XXIII | thoughts; beyond which the mind, whatever efforts it would 494 II, XXIII | from without, or by the mind, reflecting on what it experiments 495 II, XXIII | idea of God. For that the mind has such a power of enlarging 496 II, XXIV | violet, apple, &c., the mind hath also complex collective 497 II, XXIV | power of composing in the mind. These collective ideas 498 II, XXIV | ideas of substances the mind makes, by its power of composition, 499 II, XXIV | one substance. And as the mind, by putting together the 500 II, XXIV | he represents to his own mind by one idea, in one view;
