The secondary 44 II, VIII | to another, the idea of motion. This idea of motion represents 45 II, VIII | of motion. This idea of motion represents it as it really 46 II, VIII | the manna. And this, both motion and figure, are really in 47 II, VIII | bulk, figure, texture, and motion of its parts, has a power 48 II, VIII | operations of manna, by the motion, size, and figure of its 49 II, VIII | stomach and guts, by the size, motion, and figure of its insensible 50 II, VIII | size, figure number, and motion of its parts;—why those 51 II, VIII | certain sort and degree of motion in the minute particles 52 II, VIII | increase or diminution of the motion of the minute parts of our 53 II, VIII | understood, that if that motion be greater in one hand than 54 II, VIII | minute particles a greater motion than in those of one of 55 II, VIII | other, it will increase the motion of the one hand and lessen 56 II, VIII | extension, figure, number, and motion, or rest, and are sometimes 57 II, VIII | number, situation, and motion or rest of their solid parts. 58 II, VIII | bulk, figure, texture, and motion of another body, as to make 59 II, VIII | bulk, figure, texture, or motion of some of the insensible 60 II, VIII | bulk, figure, texture, or motion of the insensible parts 61 II, VIII | them of bulk, figure, or motion, we are not apt to think 62 II, VIII | nothing of bulk, figure, or motion of parts in their production; 63 II, VIII | their bulk, figure, and motion, should produce in the mind 64 II, VIII | extension, number, and motion of their solid parts; all 65 II, IX | does a billet, unless the motion be continued to the brain, 66 II, IX | perception: and though the motion that uses to produce the 67 II, IX | ideas of space, figure, and motion, the several varieties whereof 68 II, IX | of them, some degrees of motion, and upon the different 69 II, IX | sensitive plants, from a motion which has some resemblance 70 II, X | solidity, extension, figure, motion, and rest; and those that 71 II, X | mechanically cause a certain motion of the animal spirits in 72 II, X | actually playing; and that motion may be continued on to the 73 II, X | after it has ceased—such a motion of the organs in the bird’ 74 II, XI | quickness, activity, and motion in the intellectual faculties, 75 II, XII | figure, with the powers of motion, thought and reasoning, 76 II, XIII | are very distinct ideas. Motion can neither be, nor be conceived, 77 II, XIII | without space; and yet motion is not space, nor space 78 II, XIII | is not space, nor space motion; space can exist without 79 II, XIII | impulse, and communication of motion upon impulse. And if it 80 II, XIII | solidity, nor resistance to the motion of body, as body does.~13. 81 II, XIII | from their inseparability; motion being nothing but change 82 II, XIII | without resistance to the motion of body.~15. The definition 83 II, XIII | all bodies), a body put in motion may move on, as where there 84 II, XIII | is not sufficient to stop motion. The truth is, these men 85 II, XIII | God can put an end to all motion that is in matter, and fix 86 II, XIII | And indeed the necessary motion of one particle of matter 87 II, XIII | any particle of it.~23. Motion proves a vacuum. But not 88 II, XIII | omnipotency to find a vacuum, the motion of bodies that are in our 89 II, XIII | to make room for the free motion of the parts of the divided 90 II, XIII | void space necessary to motion equal to the least parcel 91 II, XIII | of solidity distinct from motion, or motion from space. We 92 II, XIII | distinct from motion, or motion from space. We have not 93 II, XIII | conceive body or space without motion, though it be never so certain 94 II, XIII | certain that neither body nor motion can exist without space. 95 II, XIV | idea of succession not from motion. Thus by reflecting on the 96 II, XIV | from our observation of motion by our senses, he will perhaps 97 II, XIV | he considers, that even motion produces in his mind an 98 II, XIV | moving, perceives yet no motion at all unless that motion 99 II, XIV | motion at all unless that motion produces a constant train 100 II, XIV | together, and perceive no motion at all in either; though 101 II, XIV | other body, as soon as this motion produces any new idea in 102 II, XIV | perceives that there has been motion. But wherever a man is, 103 II, XIV | without perceiving any motion at all,—if during this hour 104 II, XIV | where he could observe no motion.~7. Very slow motions unperceived. 105 II, XIV | we have no perception of motion; which consisting in a constant 106 II, XIV | distinguishable distances of their motion, and so cause not any train 107 II, XIV | not a part of a circle in motion.~9. The train of ideas has 108 II, XIV | This also happens where the motion is so slow as not to supply 109 II, XIV | body, there the sense of motion is lost; and the body, though 110 II, XIV | that it hath moved, yet the motion itself we perceive not.~ 111 II, XIV | idea; or else where any motion or succession is so slow, 112 II, XIV | perceptible distances of a body in motion, or between sounds or smells 113 II, XIV | made, include no sense of motion. Whether these several ideas 114 II, XIV | they include no idea of motion in their appearance; and 115 II, XIV | man had not the idea of motion otherwise, I think he would 116 II, XIV | ideas at all. It is not then motion, but the constant train 117 II, XIV | idea of duration; whereof motion no otherwise gives us any 118 II, XIV | without the idea of any motion, as by the train of ideas 119 II, XIV | bodies, which we have from motion; and therefore we should 120 II, XIV | duration were there no sense of motion at all.~17. Time is duration 121 II, XIV | years having depended on the motion of the sun, it has brought 122 II, XIV | it has been thought that motion and duration were the measure 123 II, XIV | were measured out by the motion of those heavenly bodies, 124 II, XIV | apt to confound time and motion; or at least to think that 125 II, XIV | as well without as with motion? For if the appearances 126 II, XIV | of time as well were the motion away.~20. But not by their 127 II, XIV | away.~20. But not by their motion, but periodical appearances. 128 II, XIV | years, notwithstanding the motion of the sun, which they pretended 129 II, XIV | of them from the precise motion of the sun. And if the sun 130 II, XIV | that (notwithstanding the motion of the sun) men should in 131 II, XIV | said,—without a regular motion, such as of the sun, or 132 II, XIV | demonstrated to be equal. The motion of the sun, which the world 133 II, XIV | more steady and regular motion than that of the sun, or, ( 134 II, XIV | sure that the cause of that motion, which is unknown to us, 135 II, XIV | exactness of the measure by motion, as well as any other periods 136 II, XIV | Time not the measure of motion. One thing seems strange 137 II, XIV | manifestly measured time by the motion of the great and visible 138 II, XIV | defined to be the “measure of motion”: whereas it is obvious 139 II, XIV | little on it, that to measure motion, space is as necessary to 140 II, XIV | will estimate or measure motion so as to judge right of 141 II, XIV | right of it. Nor indeed does motion any otherwise conduce to 142 II, XIV | equidistant periods. For if the motion of the sun were as unequal 143 II, XIV | than the seeming unequal motion of a comet does.~23. Minutes, 144 II, XIV | the world were as full of motion as it is now, but no part 145 II, XIV | there were so far back no motion of the sun, nor any motion 146 II, XIV | motion of the sun, nor any motion at all. For, though the 147 II, XIV | and kept the same ordinary motion it doth now. The idea of 148 II, XIV | duration, where no sun or motion was, as the idea of a foot 149 II, XIV | duration, where no sun or motion was, as the idea of a foot 150 II, XIV | the duration of bodies or motion, as we can this measure 151 II, XIV | duration, where there was no motion, as well as by the other 152 II, XIV | his mind the beginning of motion, though not of all duration, 153 II, XIV | in his consideration of motion. So also, in his thoughts, 154 II, XIV | the length of the annual motion of the sun to duration, 155 II, XIV | before the sun’s or any other motion had its being; which is 156 II, XIV | separate from all actual motion; and it is as impossible 157 II, XIV | night to co-exist with any motion that now is, or for ever 158 II, XIV | world, to co-exist with the motion of the sun now. But yet 159 II, XIV | idea of the length of the motion of the shadow on a dial 160 II, XIV | antecedent to all manner of motion, as well as to anything 161 II, XIV | a day antecedent to the motion that at this very moment 162 II, XIV | of any duration by some motion depending not at all on 163 II, XIV | co-existence of that thing to that motion, or any other periods of 164 II, XIV | of some periodical known motion, or other interval of duration, 165 II, XIV | be co-existent with the motion we measure it by. Hence 166 II, XIV | should be co-existent to the motion we measure by, or any other 167 II, XIV | duration, with which the motion or appearance never co-existed.~ 168 II, XIV | the sun was, or had any motion, barely by thinking that 169 II, XIV | either light or any continued motion, a minute, an hour, a day, 170 II, XIV | before either the being or motion of any body, I can add one 171 II, XV | not.~3. Nor duration by motion. Just so is it in duration. 172 II, XV | out by the existence and motion of bodies. Time and place, 173 II, XV | measures taken from the bulk or motion of bodies. Secondly, sometimes 174 II, XV | the one; and the parts of motion, or rather the succession 175 II, XVII | proved, as I think, from the motion of body, its necessary existence), 176 II, XVII | it be necessary for the motion of body, that there should 177 II, XVII | the other; as an idea of motion not passing on would perplex 178 II, XVII | not better than an idea of motion at rest. And such another 179 II, XVII | more than the existence of motion, or the sun, is necessary 180 II, XVIII | ideas.~2. Simple modes of motion. To slide, roll, tumble, 181 II, XVIII | different modifications of motion. Modes of motion answer 182 II, XVIII | modifications of motion. Modes of motion answer those of extension; 183 II, XVIII | are two different ideas of motion, the measures whereof are 184 II, XVIII | comprehending time and space with motion.~3. Modes of sounds. The 185 II, XVIII | of unity, duration, and motion, &c., above instanced in, 186 II, XXI | of the parts? Figure and motion have something relative 187 II, XXI | bulk, figure, texture, and motion of the parts? All which 188 II, XXI | idea, viz. thinking and motion, let us consider whence 189 II, XXI | idea of the beginning of motion. A body at rest affords 190 II, XXI | move; and when it is set in motion itself, that motion is rather 191 II, XXI | set in motion itself, that motion is rather a passion than 192 II, XXI | when the ball obeys the motion of a billiard-stick, it 193 II, XXI | it sets another ball in motion that lay in its way, it 194 II, XXI | it only communicates the motion it had received from another, 195 II, XXI | transfer, but not produce any motion. For it is but a very obscure 196 II, XXI | of the passion. For so is motion in a body impelled by another; 197 II, XXI | made in it from rest to motion being little more an action, 198 II, XXI | idea of the beginning of motion we have only from reflection 199 II, XXI | begin any action, either motion or thought. But if, from 200 II, XXI | consider it; or to prefer the motion of any part of the body 201 II, XXI | these two, viz. thinking and motion; so far as a man has power 202 II, XXI | tennis-ball, whether in motion by the stroke of a racket, 203 II, XXI | volition, or preference of motion to rest, or vice versa; 204 II, XXI | agent; but all its both motion and rest come under our 205 II, XXI | the forbearance of that motion not being in his power, 206 II, XXI | stop or cessation of that motion follows not upon his volition; 207 II, XXI | friend, by a convulsive motion of his arm, which it is 208 II, XXI | power of his mind stop their motion, (as in that odd disease 209 II, XXI | the will, as swiftness of motion is to sleep, or squareness 210 II, XXI | that the modifications of motion belong not to sleep, nor 211 II, XXI | produce, or forbear producing, motion in parts of his body, by 212 II, XXI | are but several modes of motion; as well as we make the 213 II, XXI | that is able to digest, motion by something able to move, 214 II, XXI | a thought directing the motion of my finger, make it move 215 II, XXI | down a precipice, though in motion, is not at liberty, because 216 II, XXI | because he cannot stop that motion if he would. This being 217 II, XXI | which of the two he pleases, motion or rest? This question carries 218 II, XXI | at liberty to will either motion or rest, speaking or silence, 219 II, XXI | operative faculties of a man to motion or rest, as far as they 220 II, XXI | this or that particular motion or rest? And to this I answer,— 221 II, XXI | certain modifications of motion.~43. Happiness and misery, 222 II, XXI | the operative faculties to motion or rest in particular instances 223 II, XXI | if my hand be put into motion by a convulsion, the indifferency 224 II, XXI | faculty is taken away by that motion; and my liberty in that 225 II, XXI | two sorts of action, viz. motion and thinking. These, in 226 II, XXI | the substance that hath motion or thought receives the 227 II, XXI | v.g. a solid substance, by motion, operates on or alters the 228 II, XXI | therefore this modification of motion we call action. But yet 229 II, XXI | call action. But yet this motion in that solid substance 230 II, XXI | that the active power of motion is in no substance which 231 II, XXI | substance which cannot begin motion in itself or in another 232 II, XXI | I put myself into that motion. Such an action is the product 233 II, XXI | the particular figures or motion of the particles which rebound 234 II, XXI | figure, number, texture, and motion of its insensible parts. ~ 235 II, XXII | several combinations.~10. Motion, thinking, and power have 236 II, XXII | these three:—thinking and motion (which are the two ideas 237 II, XXII | ideas, I say, of thinking, motion, and power, have been those 238 II, XXII | several modes of thinking and motion should be taken notice of, 239 II, XXII | else but modifications of motion. I say, I think we cannot 240 II, XXIII | figured, and capable of motion; spirit, a thing capable 241 II, XXIII | extension, figure, solidity, motion, thinking, or other observable 242 II, XXIII | having a constant regular motion, at a certain distance from 243 II, XXIII | number, situation, and motion of the parts of bodies; 244 II, XXIII | iron, did not its sensible motion discover it: and I doubt 245 II, XXIII | the sun, operating, by the motion and figure of its sensible 246 II, XXIII | discovery of the texture and motion of the minute parts of corporeal 247 II, XXIII | and impulse its elastic motion depends, would no doubt 248 II, XXIII | he pleased the figure and motion of the minute particles 249 II, XXIII | other times, the shape and motion of the animals themselves? 250 II, XXIII | discover the figure and motion of the minute parts of bodies, 251 II, XXIII | and power of beginning motion, &c., co-existing in some 252 II, XXIII | moving or quieting corporeal motion, joined to substance, of 253 II, XXIII | a power of communicating motion by impulse. These, I think, 254 II, XXIII | power of putting body into motion by thought, and, which is 255 II, XXIII | cannot but communicate its motion by impulse to another body, 256 II, XXIII | mind can put bodies into motion, or forbear to do so, as 257 II, XXIII | 19. Spirits capable of motion. There is no reason why 258 II, XXIII | having no other idea of motion, but change of distance 259 II, XXIII | itself; and so is capable of motion. And if a mathematician 260 II, XXIII | spirits; and so conceive their motion, their approach or removal, 261 II, XXIII | truly all that while in motion: or if that will not be 262 II, XXIII | clear idea enough of its motion, its being separated from 263 II, XXIII | yet to have no idea of its motion, seems to me impossible.~ 264 II, XXIII | spirits are not capable of motion. Indeed motion cannot be 265 II, XXIII | capable of motion. Indeed motion cannot be attributed to 266 II, XXIII | capable of communicating motion by impulse: and our idea 267 II, XXIII | has a power of exciting motion in body, by willing, or 268 II, XXIII | hinder the separation by a motion, in a line parallel to those 269 II, XXIII | space, deserted by a lateral motion, resists such a motion of 270 II, XXIII | lateral motion, resists such a motion of bodies, so joined, no 271 II, XXIII | than it would resist the motion of that body were it on 272 II, XXIII | by such a lateral sliding motion. For if the pressure of 273 II, XXIII | concerning thinking and voluntary motion. Do we not every moment 274 II, XXIII | distinct bulk, figure, or motion; and the particles of water 275 II, XXIII | consider their perpetual motion, we must allow them to have 276 II, XXIII | thinking.~28. Communication of motion by impulse, or by thought, 277 II, XXIII | power of communication of motion by impulse; and of our souls, 278 II, XXIII | souls, the power of exciting motion by thought. These ideas, 279 II, XXIII | in the communication of motion by impulse, wherein as much 280 II, XXIII | impulse, wherein as much motion is lost to one body as is 281 II, XXIII | conception, but of the passing of motion out of one body into another; 282 II, XXIII | they do. The increase of motion by impulse, which is observed 283 II, XXIII | experience clear evidence of motion produced both by impulse 284 II, XXIII | that, however we consider motion, and its communication, 285 II, XXIII | other, but by a borrowed motion: whereas the mind every 286 II, XXIII | and the communication of motion by thought, which we attribute 287 II, XXIII | by thought, set body into motion, than how a substance we 288 II, XXIII | by impulse, set body into motion. So that we are no more 289 II, XXIII | cohering solid parts, and their motion. We have likewise the ideas 290 II, XXIII | shown, spirit is capable of motion.~31. The notion of spirit 291 II, XXIII | and the power of voluntary motion, as certainly as we experiment, 292 II, XXIII | which is the extension and motion of bodies; we have as much 293 II, XXVII | actions of finite beings, v.g. motion and thought, both which 294 II, XXVII | places; and therefore no motion or thought, considered as 295 II, XXVII | the organization, and the motion wherein life consists, begin 296 II, XXVII | consists, begin together, the motion coming from within; but 297 II, XXVII | same numerical figure or motion in body) can be transferred 298 II, XXVIII| an end to perception and motion in the man; all which simple 299 II, XXVIII| is any kind of thought or motion; fifthly, the idea of good, 300 II, XXX | perception and voluntary motion joined to it. Whether such 301 II, XXXI | termination of it, figure, with motion and rest, whereof we have 302 II, XXXIII| into a smooth path, and the motion in it becomes easy, and 303 II, XXXIII| dancing of his fingers be the motion of his animal spirits, I 304 III, III | sense, and spontaneous motion, comprehended under the 305 III, III | animal, sense and spontaneous motion, and the remaining complex 306 III, III | life, sense, spontaneous motion, and the faculty of reasoning, 307 III, IV | scholastic definitions of motion. The not observing this 308 III, IV | 9. Modern definitions of motion. Nor have the modern philosophers, 309 III, IV | The atomists, who define motion to be “a passage from one 310 III, IV | what is passage other than motion? And if they were asked 311 III, IV | better define it than by motion? For is it not at least 312 III, IV | significant to say, Passage is a motion from one place to another, 313 III, IV | place to another, as to say, Motion is a passage, &c.? This 314 III, IV | word it answers, and that motion is a definition of motus. 315 III, IV | much better definition of motion, when well examined.~10. 316 III, IV | absurd than the former of motion, yet betrays its uselessness 317 III, IV | man, but the definition of motion appears not at first sight 318 III, IV | other way to get the idea of motion, but barely by the definition 319 III, IV | the idea of the figure and motion of a sharp piece of steel 320 III, IV | from extension, number, motion, pleasure, and pain, which 321 III, VI | though perhaps voluntary motion, with sense and reason, 322 III, VI | it, who barely sees the motion of the hand, and hears the 323 III, VI | knowledge, will, power, and motion, &c., being ideas derived 324 III, VI | of sense and spontaneous motion, joined to a body of such 325 III, VI | sense, and spontaneous motion, needed but use the word 326 III, VI | body, with life, sense, and motion, with the faculty of reasoning, 327 III, VI | sensible parts, and sometimes motion depending thereon, which 328 III, IX | pleased to comply with my motion; and upon examination found 329 III, X | sound, made by a certain motion of the organs of speech, 330 III, X | their endeavour towards motion in their atoms when at rest. 331 III, X | a swoon without sense or motion, be alive or no; it is easy 332 IV, II | size, figure, number, and motion of minute corpuscles singly 333 IV, II | with that peculiar sort of motion. I do not say that the nature 334 IV, II | different size, figure, and motion, the variety of sensations 335 IV, II | give them that peculiar motion which produces the sensation 336 IV, II | the quicker that peculiar motion is,—the whiter does the 337 IV, II | number of particles, nor what motion of them, is fit to produce 338 IV, III | immaterial substance, upon the motion of the parts of body: Body, 339 IV, III | strike and affect body, and motion, according to the utmost 340 IV, III | able to produce nothing but motion; so that when we allow it 341 IV, III | He has annexed effects to motion which we can no way conceive 342 IV, III | which we can no way conceive motion able to produce, what reason 343 IV, III | subject we cannot conceive the motion of matter can any way operate 344 IV, III | That the size, figure, and motion of one body should cause 345 IV, III | in the size, figure, and motion of another body, is not 346 IV, III | the change from rest to motion upon impulse; these and 347 IV, III | discover the size, figure, or motion of those invisible parts 348 IV, III | knowing what figure, size, or motion of parts produce a yellow 349 IV, III | how any size, figure, or motion of any particles, can possibly 350 IV, III | receiving or communicating motion by impulse, supposes solidity. 351 IV, III | figure, number of parts, motion, excludes all other of each 352 IV, III | consisting in a texture and motion of parts which we cannot 353 IV, III | to us. Bulk, figure, and motion we have ideas of. But though 354 IV, III | particular bulk, figure, and motion, of the greatest part of 355 IV, III | extended; what is their motion, and how continued or communicated; 356 IV, III | figure, size, texture, and motion of the minute constituent 357 IV, III | machine would quite lose its motion, and the watch go no more. 358 IV, III | that the bulk, figure, and motion of several bodies about 359 IV, III | thought should produce a motion in body is as remote from 360 IV, III | sounds, &c., by impulse and motion; nay, the original rules 361 IV, III | rules and communication of motion being such, wherein we can 362 IV, IV | that the idea of the shape, motion, and life of a man without 363 IV, VI | dependence, as to life, motion, and the most considerable 364 IV, VI | presently lose sense, life, and motion. This the necessity of breathing 365 IV, VI | much on the duly tempered motion of particles coming from 366 IV, VI | these curious machines in motion and repair, how conveyed 367 IV, VI | figure, cohesion of parts, motion and rest.

But let us suppose 380 IV, X | itself. But let us suppose motion eternal too: yet matter, 381 IV, X | incogitative matter and motion, whatever changes it might 382 IV, X | far beyond the power of motion and matter to produce, as 383 IV, X | it,) vary the figure and motion of it as much as you please— 384 IV, X | in a certain figure and motion, gross particles of matter, 385 IV, X | suppose bare matter without motion, eternal, motion can never 386 IV, X | without motion, eternal, motion can never begin to be: if 387 IV, X | suppose only matter and motion first, or eternal, thought 388 IV, X | either with or without motion, could have, originally, 389 IV, X | this corporeal system is in motion or at rest. But further: 390 IV, X | rest, or it is a certain motion of the parts wherein its 391 IV, X | above one atom.~If it be the motion of its parts on which its 392 IV, X | all the particles that by motion cause thought, being each 393 IV, X | thought is not the cause of motion, (for then it must be antecedent 394 IV, X | that must depend on the motion of such parts.

For strong conceit, like 409 IV, XIX | warrant it to be a light or motion from heaven: nothing can
