It may also lead us a little towards the original of 155 III, III | infancy. But, to deduce this a little more distinctly, it will 156 III, III | and are with justice so little regarded out of them, is 157 III, III | suffices to show us the little necessity there is of such 158 III, IV | light is a great number of little globules, striking briskly 159 III, IV | nothing but a company of little tennis-balls, which fairies 160 III, IV | understood never so well what little globules were, and what 161 III, IV | signification; and there is little room for mistake and wrangling 162 III, IV | names of simple modes differ little from those of simple ideas. ~ 163 III, V | ideas: but if we take a little nearer survey of them, we 164 III, V | of almost any of them. A little looking into them will satisfy 165 III, V | loose enough, and have as little union in themselves as several 166 III, V | as well as overcharged to little purpose. It suffices that 167 III, V | said. Nay, if we look a little more nearly into this matter, 168 III, V | mixed modes is, with very little difference, applicable also 169 III, V | appears to me new and a little out of the way, (I am sure 170 III, V | of great consequence, is little taken notice of.

They at first were a little surprised at the proposal; 187 III, IX | that they differed very little in their opinions concerning 188 III, IX | us only here consider a little more exactly the forementioned 189 III, IX | observed, there could be very little said clearly and pertinently 190 III, X | remain empty sounds, with little or no signification, amongst 191 III, X | yet further, who take so little care to lay by words, which, 192 III, X | that will but reflect a little. For were their signification 193 III, X | reward.~9. This learning very little benefits society. For, notwithstanding 194 III, X | and that perhaps in words little suspected of any such misuse. 195 III, X | that our words convey so little knowledge or certainty in 196 III, X | evident to any one who ever so little reflects on the use men 197 III, X | I cannot but observe how little the preservation and improvement 198 III, XI | silent And he must be very little skilled in the world, who 199 III, XI | that men’s talking much or little should hold proportion only 200 III, XI | contemplations and reasonings, about little more than sounds, whilst 201 III, XI | attentive or quick-sighted very little, or not at all, the more 202 III, XI | words, is what I mentioned a little before, viz. that it is 203 III, XI | that word, but must go a little further, and inquire into 204 III, XI | shapes should be expressed by little draughts and prints made 205 III, XI | of apium or ibex, from a little print of that herb or beast, 206 IV, I | sorts. But to understand a little more distinctly wherein 207 IV, II | not be amiss to consider a little the degrees of its evidence. 208 IV, II | been thought to have so little to do in other parts of 209 IV, III | co-existence, extends only a very little way. Secondly, as to the 210 IV, III | these inquiries reaches very little further than our experience. 211 IV, III | bodies extends but a very little way. But as to the powers 212 IV, III | substances will be very little advanced by any of them, 213 IV, III | of our minds if we look a little into the dark side, and 214 IV, III | confine our thoughts to this little canton—I mean this system 215 IV, III | different from those of our little spot of earth, may there 216 IV, III | a watchmaker can, that a little piece of paper laid on the 217 IV, III | reason carries us herein very little beyond particular matter 218 IV, III | we are involved in, how little it is of Being, and the 219 IV, III | knowledge has been very little, in proportion to the schools, 220 IV, IV | serious thoughts will be of little more use than the reveries 221 IV, IV | of our own ideas, goes a little further than bare imagination: 222 IV, IV | consideration of our ideas, with so little care and regard (as it may 223 IV, IV | contrivance. And we that know so little of this present world we 224 IV, IV | of his soul: which is but little better than to annex the 225 IV, IV | thoughts and practice a little further, and then it will 226 IV, IV | say you: make the ears a little longer, and more pointed, 227 IV, IV | pointed, and the nose a little flatter than ordinary, and 228 IV, V | choler, would perhaps have little left in their thoughts and 229 IV, V | yet, when considered a little nearly, will appear to include 230 IV, VI | qualities, we can go but a very little way in; and in all their 231 IV, VI | But this will go but a little way. The more, indeed, of 232 IV, VI | succession. And if we look a little nearer into the state of 233 IV, VI | on which they depend are little taken notice of, and make 234 IV, VI | situation, and placed a little further or nearer that source 235 IV, VI | in some parts of this our little globe exposes them to. The 236 IV, VI | have applied our thoughts a little nearer to the consideration 237 IV, VI | discoveries amount to very little beyond perfect ignorance 238 IV, VI | constitutions, can afford us very little universal certainty. Because 239 IV, VI | subjects, which can reach but a little way. We must content ourselves 240 IV, VI | these are so few, and of so little moment, that we may justly 241 IV, VII | this sort we have but very little intuitive knowledge: nor 242 IV, VII | they are advanced: but of little or none in advancing them 243 IV, VII | wranglers in disputes, but of little use to the discovery of 244 IV, VII | opinion, they are of very little use for enlightening the 245 IV, VII | all its parts, knows very little less than that the whole 246 IV, VII | suggested concerning their little use for the improvement 247 IV, VII | certain that What is, is.~19. Little use of these maxims in proofs 248 IV, VII | determinations, there is little need, or no use at all of 249 IV, VII | And as these maxims are of little use where we have determined 250 IV, VIII | He would be thought to do little less than trifle, who, for 251 IV, VIII | signification? It would be thought little better than ridiculous to 252 IV, VIII | often trifling. We having little or no knowledge of what 253 IV, VIII | and, after all, know as little of God, spirits, or bodies, 254 IV, VIII | things themselves; may with little trouble demonstrate them 255 IV, VIII | coherent and clear, (how little soever they were instructive); 256 IV, X | argument again, and enlarge a little more upon them.~8. Recapitulation— 257 IV, X | yet, to clear up this a little further, we will see what 258 IV, X | creation, let us consider it a little. Matter must be allowed 259 IV, XI | stand for, there will be little reason left to doubt that 260 IV, XI | putting his finger in it, will little doubt that this is something 261 IV, XII | body is bigger than his little finger, but by virtue of 262 IV, XII | any one, that his body, little finger, and all, is bigger 263 IV, XII | all, is bigger than his little finger alone, after you 264 IV, XII | the name whole, and to his little finger the name part, than 265 IV, XII | body was bigger than his little finger, if his language 266 IV, XII | body is a whole, and his little finger a part, than he was 267 IV, XII | body was bigger than his little finger? Any one may as reasonably 268 IV, XII | reasonably doubt or deny that his little finger is a part of his 269 IV, XII | made use of to prove the little finger less than the body, 270 IV, XII | correspondences; that helps us very little, for the reasons, that in 271 IV, XII | substances afford matter of very little general knowledge; and the 272 IV, XII | will carry us but a very little way in the search of truth 273 IV, XII | ideas will carry us but a little way in the certain discovery 274 IV, XII | carry us, which is very little beyond themselves; and so 275 IV, XII | I imagine, to reach very little general knowledge concerning 276 IV, XII | that shall consider how little general maxims, precarious 277 IV, XII | after real improvements; how little, I say, the setting out 278 IV, XIII | wholly voluntary, some men so little regard or value it that 279 IV, XIII | they would have extreme little, or none at all. Men that 280 IV, XIII | two right ones; and can as little doubt of that, as of this 281 IV, XIV | will succeed, will have little else to do but to sit still 282 IV, XVI | few in number, and find so little reason to be magisterial 283 IV, XVI | and act thereupon with as little doubt as if it were perfect 284 IV, XVI | think a man could almost as little doubt of it as that seven 285 IV, XVI | what concerns us we make little or no difference between 286 IV, XVI | believing it, and can as little doubt of it as he does of 287 IV, XVI | judgment, and leaves us as little liberty to believe or disbelieve, 288 IV, XVI | which found or deserved little credit from the mouths of 289 IV, XVI | He that has but ever so little examined the citations of 290 IV, XVI | writers, cannot doubt how little credit the quotations deserve, 291 IV, XVI | brutes, we shall find so little difference, that it will 292 IV, XVII | intuition reach but a very little way. The greatest part of 293 IV, XVII | scholastic forms were of little use to discover truth or 294 IV, XVII | they are beholden to,) a little too much to depress and 295 IV, XVII | need of.~5. Syllogism helps little in demonstration, less in 296 IV, XVII | knowledge, and then a man has little or no need of it. But it 297 IV, XVII | art of fencing with the little knowledge we have, without 298 IV, XVII | had brought to light but little of that treasure that lay 299 IV, XVII | syllogisms, will discover very little of that mass of knowledge 300 IV, XVII | have, here and there, a little of this clear light, some 301 IV, XVII | may be worth our while a little to reflect on four sorts 302 IV, XVIII | things of this kind there is little need or use of revelation, 303 IV, XIX | examined. But to examine a little soberly this internal light, 304 IV, XX | their understandings are but little instructed, when all their 305 IV, XX | hearken to their information a little more patiently; but will 306 IV, XX | that can be used will be as little able to prevail, as the 307 IV, XX | like opinions are of so little weight and moment, that, 308 IV, XX | For if any one should a little catechise the greatest part 309 IV, XXI | well as bodies. This, in a little more enlarged sense of the
