The particular bulk, number, figure, and 20 II, VIII | sounds, as they are such particular ideas, vanish and cease, 21 II, VIII | thereby produce in the mind particular distinct ideas, which in 22 II, VIII | any body, by reason of the particular constitution of its primary 23 II, IX | animals, much less in their particular individuals.

That every particular thing should have a name 134 III, III | is impossible that every particular thing should have a distinct 135 III, III | things, and retain also the particular name that belongs to every 136 III, III | distinct ideas of all the particular things we meet with: every 137 III, III | in vain heap up names of particular things, that would not serve 138 III, III | done by names applied to particular things; whereof I alone 139 III, III | acquainted with all those very particular things which had fallen 140 III, III | distinct name for every particular thing, not fitted for enlargement 141 III, III | distinct name for every particular thing would not be of any 142 III, III | which, though founded in particular things, enlarges itself 143 III, III | themselves from distinguishing particular things by appropriated names, 144 III, III | often occasion to mention particular persons, they make use of 145 III, III | we had reason to mention particular horses as often as we have 146 III, III | often as we have to mention particular men, we should have proper 147 III, III | to mention this or that particular horse when he is out of 148 III, III | determine them to this or that particular existence. By this way of 149 III, III | persons themselves, only particular. The ideas of the nurse 150 III, III | ones, taken at first from particular existences, will, I fear, 151 III, III | retaining so much of those particular complex ideas of several 152 III, III | complex ideas of several particular existences as they are found 153 III, III | to dwell longer upon this particular, so evident in itself; by 154 III, III | applicable indifferently to many particular things; and ideas are general 155 III, III | representatives of many particular things: but universality 156 III, III | themselves, which are all of them particular in their existence, even 157 III, III | do not signify barely one particular thing; for then they would 158 III, III | signification,) to which as particular things existing are found 159 III, III | were, the bonds between particular things that exist, and the 160 III, III | have any connexion with particular beings, these abstract ideas 161 III, III | speak of the essence of particular things, without giving them 162 III, III | cannot be attributed to any particular being but what has this 163 III, III | know not, and so, having no particular idea of, having no name 164 III, III | whatever mutations the particular substances are liable to. 165 III, III | to determine which of the particular figures we meet with have 166 III, IV | the names of substances in particular.~4. Names of simple ideas 167 III, IV | ideas, as to deserve a more particular consideration.~5. If all 168 III, IV | itself, as it is such a particular perception in us, than the 169 III, V | pass neglected, without particular names or specifications. 170 III, V | killing, that this is made a particular species of action, signified 171 III, V | The reason why I take so particular notice of this is, that 172 III, V | this union, which has no particular foundation in nature, would 173 III, V | for the distinguishing of particular beings under names. And 174 III, V | mixed modes are by a more particular name called notions; as, 175 III, VI | complex ideas wherein several particular substances do or might agree, 176 III, VI | whereby it is constituted that particular sort, and distinguished 177 III, VI | that it is considered in particular beings no further than as 178 III, VI | essential to me or any other particular corporeal being, to have 179 III, VI | words in it. But if that particular being be to be counted of 180 III, VI | than this, That whatever particular thing has not in it those 181 III, VI | stands for: without which no particular thing can be reckoned of 182 III, VI | in nature between any two particular beings, without any regard 183 III, VI | being quite laid aside, particular beings, considered barely 184 III, VI | whether it be essential to the particular parcel of matter I cut my 185 III, VI | the nominal essence; that particular constitution which everything 186 III, VI | that an herb? How comes any particular thing to be of this or that 187 III, VI | which determines every particular to this or that classis; 188 III, VI | so much to the being of particular things, as to their general 189 III, VI | that of infinity. All the particular ideas of existence, knowledge, 190 III, VI | everything that exists has its particular constitution. And yet we 191 III, VI | be understood to design a particular piece of matter; v.g. the 192 III, VI | occasion to mention a sort or a particular thing.~26. Therefore very 193 III, VI | 27. Nominal essences of particular substances are undetermined 194 III, VI | soever. Secondly, that the particular ideas so united be exactly 195 III, VI | bounds. It is true that many particular substances are so made by 196 III, VI | it; and observing several particular things to agree with others 197 III, VI | syllables great numbers of particular things, as they agree in 198 III, VI | the species: and as any particular parcel of matter answers 199 III, VI | case: Nature makes many particular things, which do agree one 200 III, VI | 37. The manner of sorting particular beings the work of fallible 201 III, VI | the constant production of particular beings, makes them not always 202 III, VI | several sorts of ideas have particular or proper names, whereby 203 III, VI | names, whereby one only particular thing is signified. Because 204 III, VI | mention often this or that particular when it is absent. Besides, 205 III, VI | will always fail us in its particular application, and so is of 206 III, VII | to show or intimate some particular action of its own, at that 207 III, IX | large explain, in their particular application to our several 208 III, IX | Besides, there is scarce any particular thing existing, which, in 209 III, IX | others a less number of particular beings: who shall determine 210 III, IX | which more secret, or more particular, are to be put into the 211 III, X | question is not, Whether that particular thing agree to his complex 212 III, X | to which nature makes all particular things, and by which they 213 III, X | has complex ideas, without particular names for them, would be 214 III, XI | mistake be applied to a particular body to which it belongs 215 III, XI | better. And the idea of the particular colour of gold is not to 216 III, XI | are no peculiar names. The particular ringing sound there is in 217 III, XI | of other bodies, has no particular name annexed to it, no more 218 III, XI | to it, no more than the particular yellow that belongs to that 219 III, XI | at last to the ideas of particular men, proves often but a 220 III, XI | hardly room to digress into a particular definition, as often as 221 IV, I | of this faculty is about particular ideas. A man infallibly 222 IV, I | and is joined with that particular sort of yellowness, weight, 223 IV, I | this ground it is, that particular demonstrations in mathematics 224 IV, I | would be any other than particular: and when a man had demonstrated 225 IV, I | would not reach beyond that particular diagram. If he would extend 226 IV, II | Sensitive knowledge of the particular existence of finite beings 227 IV, II | mind, employed about the particular existence of finite beings 228 IV, II | also, of the existence of particular external objects, by that 229 IV, III | perceiving the existence of particular things: hence it also follows:~ 230 IV, III | perceived but either in particular subjects, by the observation 231 IV, III | primary qualities but one particular at once: v.g. each particular 232 IV, III | particular at once: v.g. each particular extension, figure, number 233 IV, III | general knowledge (I say not particular experience) in this part 234 IV, III | not knowing what is the particular bulk, figure, and motion, 235 IV, III | ignorance. What are the particular fabrics of the great masses 236 IV, III | herein very little beyond particular matter of fact.~26. Hence 237 IV, III | but having no ideas of the particular primary qualities of the 238 IV, III | having no ideas of the particular mechanical affections of 239 IV, III | we can go no further than particular experience informs us matter 240 IV, III | ideas, will be true of every particular thing in whom that essence, 241 IV, IV | distinguish the sorts of particular substances, to discern the 242 IV, IV | that figure, and had such a particular frame of its visible parts. 243 IV, V | whereby the mind joins that particular thing to the idea it had 244 IV, VI | knowledge we have, being only of particular or general truths, it is 245 IV, VI | term no further than to the particular things in which the complex 246 IV, VI | evident he knows not what particular substances are of that species; 247 IV, VI | the being and operation of particular substances in this our globe 248 IV, VI | like, appeal to trial in particular subjects, which can reach 249 IV, VII | whatsoever is, is”; or a more particular idea be affirmed of itself, 250 IV, VII | be”: or any idea of any particular being be denied of another 251 IV, VII | are truths known in more particular instances, as well as in 252 IV, VII | maxims; and known also in particular instances, before these 253 IV, VII | the mind employed about particular ideas. There is nothing 254 IV, VII | is evident, are those of particular things, from whence, by 255 IV, VII | general names to them. Thus particular ideas are first received 256 IV, VII | specific, which are next to particular. For abstract ideas are 257 IV, VII | yet unexercised mind, as particular ones. If they seem so to 258 IV, VII | another; much less the more particular from the more general, or 259 IV, VII | convince them of truths in particular instances, that were not 260 IV, VII | their minds. Though these particular instances, when well reflected 261 IV, VII | them: and it was in those particular instances that the first 262 IV, VII | all, none but such. Each particular proposition concerning identity 263 IV, VII | sayings, ready to apply to all particular cases. Not that if they 264 IV, VII | clear and evident than the particular instances they are brought 265 IV, VII | knows it better in that particular instance, than by this general 266 IV, VII | let into his mind by the particular, than the particular by 267 IV, VII | the particular, than the particular by the general. For in particulars 268 IV, VII | to be thought, that more particular propositions have their 269 IV, VIII | equivocal terms, he would in particular instances deny the same 270 IV, IX | removed in our thoughts from particular existence, (that being the 271 IV, IX | existence: and further, that all particular affirmations or negations 272 IV, XI | with the existence of any particular man: no particular man can 273 IV, XI | of any particular man: no particular man can know the existence 274 IV, XI | our senses, employed about particular objects that do then affect 275 IV, XI | the means of knowing their particular existences. For we can no 276 IV, XI | give us in this or that particular.~13. Only particular propositions 277 IV, XI | that particular.~13. Only particular propositions concerning 278 IV, XI | species, whereof I am one particular. But yet this proposition, 279 IV, XII | clearest by most people, the particular instance, or the general 280 IV, XII | way ever it prove in that particular body I examine) makes me 281 IV, XII | trial, having found that particular piece (and all others of 282 IV, XII | lot and private talent of particular men for the common use of 283 IV, XII | human life and their own particular subsistence in this world. 284 IV, XII | to glean what we can from particular experiments: since we cannot, 285 IV, XVI | either concerning some particular existence, or, as it is 286 IV, XVI | the first of these, viz. Particular matter of fact.~I. Where 287 IV, XVI | matter of fact.~I. Where any particular thing, consonant to the 288 IV, XVI | confirm the truth of any particular matter of fact attested 289 IV, XVI | like propositions about particular facts, being agreeable to 290 IV, XVI | most part so, and that the particular instance of it is attested 291 IV, XVI | left hand, &c., when any particular matter of fact is vouched 292 IV, XVI | observation in like cases, and particular testimonies in that particular 293 IV, XVI | particular testimonies in that particular instance, favour or contradict 294 IV, XVI | examination, nicely weighing every particular circumstance, shall to any 295 IV, XVII | reasonings is nothing but particular ideas. Having here had occasion 296 IV, XVII | truly, every one of them, particular existences: and our knowledge 297 IV, XVII | they correspond with those particular ideas. So that the perception 298 IV, XVII | agreement or disagreement of our particular ideas is the whole and utmost 299 IV, XVII | consists only in this, that the particular ideas about which it is 300 IV, XVII | are such as more than one particular thing can correspond with 301 IV, XVII | syllogisms whose conclusions are particular. The same reason hold for 302 IV, XVIII | Because reason, in that particular matter, being able to reach 303 IV, XX | oscitancy in general, or a particular aversion for books, study,
