We know nothing of things beyond 122 II, XXIII | thinking, as of solidity, I know not why we may not as well 123 II, XXIII | infinite.

Relations of place 130 II, XXVII | words are: “I had a mind to know, from Prince Maurice’s own 131 II, XXVII | been reported.

I know that, in the ordinary way 138 II, XXVII | on as ourselves. Did we know what it was, or how it was 139 II, XXVII | of a man, it is easy to know what is the same man, viz. 140 II, XXVIII| determined ideas of them, and to know what names belong to such 141 II, XXVIII| concernment, and that is, to know whether such actions, so 142 II, XXVIII| of each of these: if I know what it is for one man to 143 II, XXVIII| woman, viz.

From whence it 149 II, XXXI | malleableness. And yet, though we know nothing of these real essences, 150 II, XXXI | greater weight than anything I know of the same bulk; and a 151 II, XXXI | ignorance.~7. Because men know not the real essences of 152 II, XXXI | they who so use the names know not, their ideas of substances 153 II, XXXI | than those who imagine they know not what real specific essences: 154 II, XXXI | the simple ideas they do know to exist in it. Because, 155 II, XXXI | can never be sure that we know all the powers that are 156 II, XXXI | exceeding far not only what we know, but what we are apt to 157 II, XXXII | themselves that it would know, or conference with others 158 II, XXXII | capacities distinctly to know, and perhaps would be of 159 II, XXXIII| considerations about these (I know not whether I may say) instruments, 160 III, III | that, to one who desired to know what idea the word man stood 161 III, III | he will never be able to know when anything precisely 162 III, III | the word essence for they know not what, suppose a certain 163 III, III | it; which constitution we know not, and so, having no particular 164 III, IV | are. It has not, that I know, been yet observed by anybody 165 III, IV | stands for, can never come to know the signification of that 166 III, IV | minds stored with them, and know the names for them, then 167 III, V | compositions in nature. To know whether his idea of adultery 168 III, V | convenient, if not necessary, to know the names, before one endeavour 169 III, VI | natural substances that we know, or by which we distinguish 170 III, VI | names of substances, to know what sort of essences they 171 III, VI | texture of parts, which we know not. Nor indeed can we rank 172 III, VI | real essences; because we know them not. Our faculties 173 III, VI | handle, we presently find we know not their make; and can 174 III, VI | substantial form, which we know less. Those, therefore, 175 III, VI | species of angels; yet we know not how to frame distinct 176 III, VI | another by qualities which we know and observe in them. That 177 III, VI | It would be necessary to know whether nature always attains 178 III, VI | itself, it is impossible to know all those properties that 179 III, VI | that species. We can never know what is the precise number 180 III, VI | general words, though we know not the real essences of 181 III, VI | abstract ideas, which we know; and not that internal constitution, 182 III, VI | that produced the other, to know whether this be a tiger 183 III, VI | from their uses; and better know what they expect from each, 184 III, VI | reason, which nobody could know would be wanting in its 185 III, VI | Wherein, then, would I gladly know, consist the precise and 186 III, VI | substances, it is evident, we know not; and therefore are so 187 III, VI | become a specific name, I know no more of the real essence 188 III, VI | from them. I would fain know why a shock and a hound 189 III, VI | essential difference, whereby we know and distinguish them one 190 III, VI | it being as impossible to know certainly what the words 191 III, VI | beginning of language, to know what kinneah and niouph 192 III, VI | denomination, which others know nothing of.~49. Therefore 193 III, VI | serves this for, whilst we know not, in this sense, what 194 III, VI | or is not gold? For if we know not the real essence of 195 III, VI | is impossible we should know what parcel of matter has 196 III, IX | learned first; and then, to know what complex ideas they 197 III, IX | no greater necessity to know them, than they to know 198 III, IX | know them, than they to know ours. Our good or evil depending 199 III, IX | it will be impossible to know what things are or ought 200 III, IX | so many, that no man can know the precise and definite 201 III, IX | to think we well enough know what is meant by gold or 202 III, X | would be at a stand, and not know what to answer: a plain 203 III, X | whose concernment it is to know things as they are, and 204 III, X | all one) essences that we know not, it being in effect 205 III, X | concerned in the case, I know not what fault it can be, 206 III, X | think upon things, and know what they think, they think 207 III, X | may have ideas, and not know the names that belong to 208 III, X | feet fail him; and yet not know that it is to be called 209 III, XI | to words, as to make men know always certainly what they 210 III, XI | acquainted with that subject, and know it by that name. So to make 211 III, XI | if they please, exactly know the ideas that go to each 212 III, XI | For the one, they need but know the combination of ideas 213 III, XI | allowed to be so, I do not know how they can be excused 214 III, XI | more perfect than ours), know them, we have no notion, 215 III, XI | it is no discredit not to know what precise idea any sound 216 III, XI | declaration, certainly to know it. Indeed the necessity 217 IV, I | of knowledge. For when we know that white is not black, 218 IV, I | as it perceives them, to know each what it is, and thereby 219 IV, I | proposition in the world make him know it clearer or surer than 220 IV, I | of our ideas, all that we know or can affirm concerning 221 IV, I | another.~II. A man is said to know any proposition, which having 222 IV, I | thus a man may be said to know all those truths which are 223 IV, I | he that knew most, would know but one truth, that being 224 IV, I | his memory than really to know, and this way of entertaining 225 IV, I | be true, he will always know to be true; as long as he 226 IV, I | instance, before he could know it to be true in another 227 IV, II | greater certainty than to know that any idea in his mind 228 IV, II | the mind being willing to know the agreement or disagreement 229 IV, II | two right ones. comes to know their equality to two right 230 IV, II | cannot thereby certainly know, that any such thing as 231 IV, II | we have no concernment to know or to be. So that, I think, 232 IV, III | ideas, and all that we would know about them; because we cannot 233 IV, III | other, but cannot that way know whether they be equal or 234 IV, III | to all we might desire to know concerning those ideas we 235 IV, III | a square, and certainly know that it is so. We have the 236 IV, III | possibly shall never be able to know whether any mere material 237 IV, III | faculty of thinking; since we know not wherein thinking consists, 238 IV, III | think is more than man can know. For I see no contradiction 239 IV, III | nature. For I would fain know what substance exists, that 240 IV, III | Other spirits, who see and know the nature and inward constitution 241 IV, III | stand for. When we would know anything further concerning 242 IV, III | Which is nothing else but to know what other simple ideas 243 IV, III | is impossible we should know which have a necessary union 244 IV, III | is impossible we should know what other qualities result 245 IV, III | hope we might be able to know a great deal more of these 246 IV, III | substance: since we neither know the real constitution of 247 IV, III | qualities do depend; nor, did we know them, could we discover 248 IV, III | before we can certainly know their necessary co-existence. 249 IV, III | with another, we cannot know certainly any two to co-exist, 250 IV, III | other, we cannot certainly know that where any four of these 251 IV, III | repugnancy to coexistence, we may know that any subject may have 252 IV, III | of philosophy I think we know but to a very small degree: 253 IV, III | them, I can as certainly know this proposition to be true, 254 IV, III | made, whereby a man may know how far his intuitive knowledge 255 IV, III | different from ours, we know not. This we know and certainly 256 IV, III | ours, we know not. This we know and certainly find, that 257 IV, III | than we, have, of which we know nothing; so the want of 258 IV, III | ignorance of what we desire to know about them. I doubt not 259 IV, III | any two bodies, we should know without trial several of 260 IV, III | square or a triangle. Did we know the mechanical affections 261 IV, III | perhaps no more difficult to know than it is to a smith to 262 IV, III | much as guess, much less know, their manner of production. 263 IV, III | and ability, can come to know? Much less have we distinct 264 IV, III | but yet by a law that we know not: whereby, though causes 265 IV, III | that we are capable to know. And therefore we shall 266 IV, IV | nothing but its own ideas, know that they agree with things 267 IV, IV | I. It concerns me not to know or inquire. To their own 268 IV, IV | contrivance. And we that know so little of this present 269 IV, IV | of it. No figure that I know speaks any such language. 270 IV, IV | have a rational soul. I know not by what logic you must 271 IV, IV | a brute;—I would gladly know what are those precise lineaments, 272 IV, IV | fixed species in nature, we know not what. But, after all, 273 IV, V | But if we rest here, we know the truth of nothing by 274 IV, V | our ideas are such as we know are capable of having an 275 IV, V | in substances we cannot know, but by knowing that such 276 IV, VI | general proposition, unless we know the precise bounds and extent 277 IV, VI | it is necessary we should know the essence of each species, 278 IV, VI | real essence, we cannot know what is, or what is not 279 IV, VI | the speaker, stand for we know not what; and the extent 280 IV, VI | by real essences which we know not, are not capable to 281 IV, VI | quality is in gold, when we know not what is or is not gold? 282 IV, VI | we, not knowing, cannot know where it is or is not, and 283 IV, VI | as impossible for us to know as it is for a blind man 284 IV, VI | is impossible) certainly know where a real essence, which 285 IV, VI | a real essence, which we know not, is, v.g. in what parcels 286 IV, VI | is impossible for us to know that this or that quality 287 IV, VI | combinations, we cannot certainly know, unless we can discover 288 IV, VI | iii. Viz. 1. Because we know not the real constitutions 289 IV, VI | particularly depends. 2. Did we know that, it would serve us 290 IV, VI | there is no difficulty to know what is or is not gold. 291 IV, VI | that we should certainly know the truth of this proposition, 292 IV, VI | that any one can certainly know is true. It will, no doubt, 293 IV, VI | insensible parts; which, since we know not, it is impossible we 294 IV, VI | any body, can certainly know what smell, taste, sound, 295 IV, VI | ideas of substances as to know what real constitutions 296 IV, VI | now by our senses: and to know the properties of gold, 297 IV, VI | of distinction whereby we know and denominate them. Put 298 IV, VI | too; which, for aught I know, would be changed into a 299 IV, VI | those qualities by which we know and distinguish them. We 300 IV, VI | universe, may, for aught we know, have such a connexion and 301 IV, VI | and perfect a part that we know of nature, which does not 302 IV, VI | this kind, we must First know what changes the primary 303 IV, VI | and how. Secondly, We must know what primary qualities of 304 IV, VI | in truth no less than to know all the effects of matter, 305 IV, VII | without that anybody (that I know) ever went about to show 306 IV, VII | capable of any knowledge) to know every one of its ideas by 307 IV, VII | and a great many that we know before them, it is impossible 308 IV, VII | truths. Is it impossible to know that one and two are equal 309 IV, VII | to all its parts, does he know that one and two are equal 310 IV, VII | principles they never come to know all their lives. But whether 311 IV, VII | he cannot but certainly know that the idea of one is 312 IV, VII | been built. There is, I know, a great deal of talk, propagated 313 IV, VII | reason: for we then come to know a truth that we did not 314 IV, VII | a truth that we did not know before. When God declares 315 IV, VII | truth; and I would fain know what truths these two propositions 316 IV, VII | their influence make us know, which we did not know before, 317 IV, VII | us know, which we did not know before, or could not know 318 IV, VII | know before, or could not know without them. Let us reason 319 IV, VII | as teachers of what they know, initiate others in that 320 IV, VII | he cannot be supposed to know the truth of these maxims 321 IV, VII | without proof, if he cannot know the truth of others without 322 IV, VIII | but what we must certainly know before, whether such a proposition 323 IV, VIII | infallibly certain, and yet not know one thing in the world thereby; 324 IV, VIII | propositions are trifling. I know there are some who, because 325 IV, VIII | knowledge of morality? Those who know not, nor perhaps ever will 326 IV, VIII | not, nor perhaps ever will know, what is right and what 327 IV, VIII | assurance make, and infallibly know, the truth of these and 328 IV, VIII | to truths he does not yet know, must find out intermediate 329 IV, VIII | is a B”; which a man may know as well as any schoolmaster, 330 IV, VIII | already, or he is supposed to know before? For I am supposed 331 IV, VIII | before? For I am supposed to know the signification of the 332 IV, VIII | is to tell me. And if I know that the name gold stands 333 IV, VIII | signification of words, and make me know but this—That body, sense, 334 IV, VIII | which a man was supposed to know before: v.g. a triangle 335 IV, VIII | no real knowledge. We can know then the truth of two sorts 336 IV, VIII | instructive. And, secondly, we can know the truth, and so may be 337 IV, VIII | philosophy: and, after all, know as little of God, spirits, 338 IV, IX | doubt of that. For if I know I feel pain, it is evident 339 IV, IX | the pain I feel: or if I know I doubt, I have as certain 340 IV, X | the means to discover and know him; so far as is necessary 341 IV, X | is impossible he should know any demonstration in Euclid. 342 IV, X | Euclid. If, therefore, we know there is some real being, 343 IV, X | that we more certainly know that there is a God, than 344 IV, X | without us. When I say we know, I mean there is such a 345 IV, X | one single body that we know or can conceive. And therefore, 346 IV, X | one particle should either know its own, or the motion of 347 IV, X | other particle, or the whole know the motion of every particle; 348 IV, XI | man: no particular man can know the existence of any other 349 IV, XI | other things, and makes us know, that something doth exist 350 IV, XI | though perhaps we neither know nor consider how it does 351 IV, XI | receive by them, that we know not the manner wherein they 352 IV, XI | I call white; by which I know that that quality or accident ( 353 IV, XI | on it: and I would fain know what it is he could do upon 354 IV, XI | about any object, we do know that it does exist; so by 355 IV, XI | ideas in our minds, and know we have them there, the 356 IV, XI | spirits does not make us know that any such things do 357 IV, XI | existences. For we can no more know that there are finite spirits 358 IV, XI | centaurs, he can come to know that things answering those 359 IV, XI | consideration of his ideas, know the truth of certain propositions 360 IV, XII | possible for a young lad to know that his whole body is bigger 361 IV, XII | Or cannot a country wench know that, having received a 362 IV, XII | hands are equal? Cannot she know this, I say, unless she 363 IV, XII | without them? Could he not know that his body was bigger 364 IV, XII | that does not certainly know that any parcel of matter, 365 IV, XII | alone, will never be able to know it by the help of these 366 IV, XII | undeniable.
