General assent the 15 I, I | the understanding, will find that this ready assent of 16 I, I | we will observe, we shall find it still to be about ideas, 17 I, I | heard, whereby they will find themselves plentifully stored 18 I, I | another, will as certainly find assent at first hearing 19 I, I | understanding, will certainly find that these, and the like 20 I, I | scarce allow them to be, who find it harder to demonstrate 21 I, I | those persons in whom yet we find no footsteps of them; and 22 I, I | of science, will, I fear, find himself mistaken. Such kind 23 I, I | assent they so generally find is no other than what several 24 I, II | their own practice; since we find that self-interest, and 25 I, II | their thoughts, we shall find that they have no such internal 26 I, II | men as they are, we shall find that they have remorse, 27 I, II | as Mingrelia or Peru to find instances of such as neglect, 28 I, II | it will be impossible to find any innate moral rules by 29 I, II | need to teach them. Did men find such innate propositions 30 I, II | consulted him, hoping to find in a man of so great parts, 31 I, II | if they cannot, we must find them in all mankind alike, 32 I, II | adventitious notions, we must then find them clearest and most perspicuous 33 I, II | please, they will certainly find it inconsistent with visible 34 I, II | their own minds, they cannot find anything more ancient there 35 I, II | whose knowledge they can find in themselves no original, 36 I, II | principles, will perhaps find it a hard matter any other 37 I, III | or ill in this life, will find it perhaps not easy to resolve 38 I, III | others, as it was to me, to find the Siamites of this number. 39 I, III | in children? And when we find it there, how much more 40 I, III | understandings; nor will he find the least footsteps of any 41 I, III | other testimonies,) will find that the theology of the 42 I, III | human shape: and though we find few now amongst us who profess 43 I, III | make it his business may find amongst the ignorant and 44 I, III | condition, and you shall find that, though the name of 45 I, III | as I can observe, I can find none, and would be glad 46 I, III | knowledge, every one will find it true in himself of the 47 I, III | thoughts than other men’s to find it. For I think we may as 48 II, I | and relations, we shall find to contain all our whole 49 II, I | examine it, we shall not find, I suppose, the motion of 50 II, I | new discoveries. Who can find it reason that the soul 51 II, I | thoughts in my mind, when I can find none there myself, And they 52 II, I | souls at all; since they find a good part of their lives 53 II, I | the rule of nature, will find few signs of a soul accustomed 54 II, I | considers this, will perhaps find reason to imagine that a 55 II, I | time makes, and you shall find, as the mind by the senses 56 II, II | inability will every one find in himself, who shall go 57 II, IV | the resistance which we find in body to the entrance 58 II, IV | air or water, will quickly find its resistance. And he that 59 II, VII | Beyond all this, we may find another reason why God hath 60 II, VII | observable there, we shall find our ideas always, whilst 61 II, VIII | anything in the sun, because we find not those different colours 62 II, VIII | in the efficient, when we find no such sensible quality 63 II, X | memory, since we oftentimes find a disease quite strip the 64 II, XI | cause why those propositions find universal assent, impute 65 II, XI | since many of them, we find, can fashion such sounds, 66 II, XI | from them. Thus you shall find a distracted man fancying 67 II, XI | can speak but of what I find in myself, and is agreeable 68 II, XI | the only passages I can find of knowledge to the understanding. 69 II, XII | And, I believe, we shall find, if we warily observe the 70 II, XIII | as at rest. For when we find anything at the same distance 71 II, XIII | occasion, we may know where to find it, and have recourse to 72 II, XIII | location: and when one can find out, and frame in his mind, 73 II, XIII | inhere in, were forced to find out the word substance to 74 II, XIII | have been at the trouble to find an elephant to support it, 75 II, XIII | to God’s omnipotency to find a vacuum, the motion of 76 II, XIII | they come to examine them, find their simple ideas all generally 77 II, XIII | principles, and will often find himself at a loss. ~ 78 II, XIV | less obscure; and we shall find that the idea of eternity 79 II, XIV | train of ideas, which we find to appear one after another 80 II, XIV | and thereby observe and find succession where he could 81 II, XIV | and he will, I suppose, find it difficult to keep all 82 II, XIV | look a little farther will find also the bulk of the thing 83 II, XV | beyond all those lengths, and find nothing to stop its going 84 II, XV | of that it can neither find nor conceive any end. Nor 85 II, XV | eternity; and it is hard to find a reason why any one should 86 II, XV | pursues his own thoughts, will find them sometimes launch out 87 II, XV | them not, and do so often find our thoughts at a loss, 88 II, XVI | For who will undertake to find a difference between the 89 II, XVI | we usually do, would we find out but some fit denominations 90 II, XVII | mind should be ever able to find or suppose any end of it, 91 II, XVII | uniform idea of space, nowhere find any bounds, any end; and 92 II, XVII | duration.

Number affords 95 II, XVII | which, I suppose, will find to be nothing else but the 96 II, XVII | it be hard, I think, to find anyone so absurd as to say 97 II, XVII | infinite, only by a power we find we have of still increasing 98 II, XVII | always supply new line, and find the plummet always sink, 99 II, XVII | myself at a loss, and I find I cannot attain any clear 100 II, XVII | will, when he considers it, find that he can no more have 101 II, XVII | matter to support it, when we find that we have as clear an 102 II, XIX | little further, and you find the mind in sleep retired 103 II, XX | uneasiness or delight which we find in ourselves, arising from 104 II, XXI | passes in ourselves; where we find by experience, that, barely 105 II, XXI | I think evident,—That we find in ourselves a power to 106 II, XXI | into the reason, we shall find it is because we conceive 107 II, XXI | he awakes, and is glad to find himself in so desirable 108 II, XXI | what it is, will better find it by reflecting on his 109 II, XXI | more necessary, because I find the will often confounded 110 II, XXI | on himself will quickly find. Who is there that has not 111 II, XXI | in its choice, we shall find that, we being capable but 112 II, XXI | good and evil, we shall find it lies much in comparison: 113 II, XXI | natural to us, we shall find that a very little part 114 II, XXI | it will be no wonder to find variety and difference. 115 II, XXI | under the present pain, we find not ourselves capable of 116 II, XXI | apparent good. For since we find that we cannot enjoy all 117 II, XXII | now speaking of, we shall find their original quite different. 118 II, XXII | distinct ideas, we shall find the reason of it to be the 119 II, XXII | both together, and we shall find them but so many collections 120 II, XXIII | substance in general, he will find he has no other idea of 121 II, XXIII | support of those qualities we find existing, which we imagine 122 II, XXIII | qualities, which we used to find united in the thing called 123 II, XXIII | into his own thoughts, will find, that he has no other idea 124 II, XXIII | complex idea of gold, will find several of its ideas that 125 II, XXIII | in proportion to what we find and observe in ourselves. 126 II, XXIII | wonder how any one should find a difficulty in what they 127 II, XXIII | separable. He that could find the bonds that tie these 128 II, XXIII | thought, which we every moment find they do. The increase of 129 II, XXIII | manner of production, we find still it discovers nothing 130 II, XXIII | Supreme Being, we shall find that we come by it the same 131 II, XXIII | of God as infinite. If I find that I know some few things, 132 II, XXVII | matter united to it, will find it hard to make an embryo, 133 II, XXVII | This being premised, to find wherein personal identity 134 II, XXVII | person. But let him once find himself conscious of any 135 II, XXVII | consciousness of past actions, as we find our minds always are of 136 II, XXVIII| several actions come to find credit or disgrace amongst 137 II, XXVIII| greatest part whereof we shall find to govern themselves chiefly, 138 II, XXVIII| the particulars, we shall find them to amount to a collection 139 II, XXIX | hard, may any one say, to find anywhere a confused idea. 140 II, XXIX | reason, we shall always find ourselves at a loss; confused 141 II, XXX | before mentioned, we shall find that,~2. Simple ideas are 142 II, XXXI | acquiesces in them, and can find nothing wanting. Thus, by 143 II, XXXI | perfection we intend: we find they still want something 144 II, XXXI | those qualities flow which I find in it, viz. its peculiar 145 II, XXXI | produced; which qualities I find in that particular parcel 146 II, XXXI | their own knowledge, will find in themselves, in this one 147 II, XXXII | false. In all which we shall find some kind of affirmation 148 II, XXXII | will examine it, we shall find it is chiefly, if not only, 149 II, XXXII | knowledge, we shall I think find, that the mind having got 150 II, XXXII | conformity of their ideas, they find they should both think amiss 151 II, XXXII | represents an action, either as I find or imagine it, and so is 152 II, XXXIII| musician used to any tune will find that, let it but once begin 153 II, XXXIII| upon a nearer approach, I find that there is so close a 154 III, I | their sources, we should find, in all languages, the names 155 III, I | shall the better come to find the right use of words; 156 III, II | necessary that man should find out some external sensible 157 III, III | signification: but yet we find quite the contrary. The 158 III, III | affected the senses, could not find a place in the most capacious 159 III, III | proper name, we may easily find a reason why men have never 160 III, III | general terms; or where find we those general natures 161 III, III | frame an idea, which they find those many particulars do 162 III, III | fear, be at a loss where to find them. For let any one effect, 163 III, III | stands for. And this we shall find to be that which the word 164 III, IV | nearer survey, we shall find the names of simple ideas, 165 III, V | survey of them, we shall find that they have something 166 III, V | these mixed modes as they find they have occasion to have 167 III, V | neighbour; and therefore they find it necessary to mention 168 III, V | empty sounds, will hardly find words that answer them in 169 III, V | different languages, we shall find that, though they have words 170 III, V | be doubted; and we shall find this much more so in the 171 III, V | other languages, they will find very few of them exactly 172 III, V | 11. Suitable to this, we find that men speaking of mixed 173 III, V | conformable, I say, to this, we find that their names lead our 174 III, VI | own thoughts, and he will find that as soon as he supposes 175 III, VI | plain from hence:—That we find many of the individuals 176 III, VI | would be as impossible to find different properties in 177 III, VI | same species, as it is to find different properties in 178 III, VI | daily handle, we presently find we know not their make; 179 III, VI | the different qualities we find in them. It is evident the 180 III, VI | from reflection on what we find in ourselves, and which 181 III, VI | pleasure—each of which we find it better to have than to 182 III, VI | operations and powers we find in ourselves to them in 183 III, VI | parts of matter, we shall find everywhere that the several 184 III, VI | into England in the winter, find the water he put in his 185 III, VI | constitution. And yet we find that some of these monstrous 186 III, VI | ideas as, by examination, we find to be united together in 187 III, VI | met with in nature, will find it hard, even in the race 188 III, VI | examine it, we shall not find the nominal essence of any 189 III, VI | most led by. Thus where we find the colour of gold, we are 190 III, VI | and long examination to find out what, and how many, 191 III, VI | other qualities, which they find joined with that yellow 192 III, VI | species, or sorts, we should find that there is no new thing 193 III, VI | from the qualities they find united in them, and wherein 194 III, VI | well as natural: since I find they are as plainly and 195 III, VIII | we observe them, we shall find that our simple ideas have 196 III, IX | all these cases we shall find an imperfection in words; 197 III, IX | we examine them, we shall find that the names of Mixed 198 III, IX | learn languages, we shall find that, to make them understand 199 III, IX | signs of. Where shall one find any, either controversial 200 III, IX | reasoning are required to find out the true meaning of 201 III, IX | whatsoever, which men will easily find when, once passing from 202 III, IX | peruse their writings will find in almost every one of them, 203 III, X | occurrences of life, where they find it necessary to be understood, 204 III, X | Men take the words they find in use amongst their neighbors; 205 III, X | use of them. It is hard to find a discourse written on any 206 III, X | yet there are those who find it necessary to confound 207 III, X | of learned writings, will find the words there much more 208 III, X | with; yet the most I can find that the contending learned 209 III, X | speech. Since wit and fancy find easier entertainment in 210 III, X | against. And it is in vain to find fault with those arts of 211 III, X | of deceiving, wherein men find pleasure to be deceived. ~ 212 III, XI | mentioned.~2. Are not easy to find. I am not so vain as to 213 III, XI | an ill use of words, will find some reason to doubt whether 214 III, XI | word man, as any other we find in it: and therefore, why 215 III, XI | discourse with others, (if we find them mistake us), we ought 216 IV, I | relation between our ideas, and find out the agreement or disagreement 217 IV, I | upon a due examination I find it comes not short of perfect 218 IV, II | ways of thinking, we will find, that sometimes the mind 219 IV, II | case the mind is fain to find out some other angles, to 220 IV, II | quickness in the mind to find out these intermediate ideas, ( 221 IV, II | than one transient view to find it. A steady application 222 IV, II | differences as to perceive, or find ways to measure, their just 223 IV, II | or odour? We as plainly find the difference there is 224 IV, III | examine, we cannot always find such mediums as we can connect 225 IV, III | shall never be able to find a circle equal to a square, 226 IV, III | hypothesis, will scarce find his reason able to determine 227 IV, III | inconceivableness of something they find in one, throw themselves 228 IV, III | may satisfy us that we can find no certainty on one side 229 IV, III | the dark, hardly at last find out, and are often ready 230 IV, III | colour, and, upon trial, find the weight, malleableness, 231 IV, III | it were more improved. We find the advantages some men’ 232 IV, III | sagacious mind of man may yet find out, it is not easy to determine. 233 IV, III | this which mathematicians find in diagrams and figures, 234 IV, III | mathematical truths, they would find them have a stronger connexion 235 IV, III | understandings of thinking men find themselves puzzled and at 236 IV, III | shall the less wonder to find it so, when we consider 237 IV, III | Creator of all things will find reason to think it was not 238 IV, III | impotent a creature as he will find man to be; who in all probability 239 IV, III | This we know and certainly find, that we want several other 240 IV, III | ranks and sorts, we shall find this cause of ignorance 241 IV, III | colour or smell which we find in our minds,) we can have 242 IV, III | observation reaches, we constantly find to proceed regularly, we 243 IV, III | knowledge we must search and find it only in our minds; and 244 IV, IV | will consider, we shall find that it is only of our own 245 IV, IV | disagreement which we shall find in them will produce real 246 IV, IV | we have, the agreement we find they have with others will 247 IV, IV | cast and formed; we should find that the idea of the shape, 248 IV, V | and reasoning, we shall find, I suppose, that when we 249 IV, VI | those sensible qualities we find in them, and how those qualities 250 IV, VI | own minds, more certainly find out their properties, and 251 IV, VI | state of animals, we shall find that their dependence, as 252 IV, VI | immediately perish: since we find them so often destroyed 253 IV, VI | bodies, we at first sight find ourselves at a loss; though 254 IV, VII | for in all of them he will find that the reason of his assent 255 IV, VII | considers them will not find that they have a clearer 256 IV, VII | reflect upon them, we shall find that general ideas are fictions 257 IV, VII | to help us to it. When we find out an idea by whose intervention 258 IV, VIII | does not yet know, must find out intermediate ideas, 259 IV, VIII | of this sort, a man may find an infinite number of propositions, 260 IV, VIII | hope to attain by them, or find in them; viz. that most 261 IV, VIII | difficult to do, did they not find it convenient to shelter 262 IV, VIII | what they contain, we shall find that it all amounts to nothing 263 IV, VIII | books, we shall perhaps find that a greater part of them 264 IV, X | and what we infallibly find in our own constitutions, 265 IV, X | perceiving beings, such as we find ourselves to be. Which, 266 IV, X | great or small, we shall find it, in itself, able to produce 267 IV, XI | II. Secondly, Because we find that an idea from actual 268 IV, XI | perceptions. Because sometimes I find that I cannot avoid the 269 IV, XI | own imagination, when I find that the characters that 270 IV, XII | consider, he will (I guess) find, that the great advancement 271 IV, XII | another; so far as we can find their habitudes and relations, 272 IV, XII | us. Where first we shall find that he that has not a perfect 273 IV, XIII | them, he will as certainly find that the inferior, finite, 274 IV, XIII | infinite, as he is certain to find that three, four, and seven 275 IV, XV | and we not happy enough to find certain truth in everything 276 IV, XV | matter of fact is like to find more or less belief. Though 277 IV, XV | witness will scarce be able to find belief.~The king of Siam. 278 IV, XVI | well examined. May we not find a great number (not to say 279 IV, XVI | never fails to be, where men find themselves ill treated? 280 IV, XVI | are so few in number, and find so little reason to be magisterial 281 IV, XVI | of probability is, when I find by my own experience, and 282 IV, XVI | taken notice of: because I find amongst some men the quite 283 IV, XVI | and some brutes, we shall find so little difference, that 284 IV, XVI | well attested, do not only find credit themselves, but give 285 IV, XVII | are so, we have need to find out, examine, and compare 286 IV, XVII | our own minds, we shall find that we reason best and 287 IV, XVII | of Asia and America, will find men reason there perhaps 288 IV, XVII | truth who are willing to find it, and desire to make the 289 IV, XVII | has no other aim but to find it, there is no need of 290 IV, XVII | stricter examination, I now find, that laying the intermediate 291 IV, XVII | and used to syllogisms, find them assisting to their 292 IV, XVII | and by natural deduction find to be true or probable. 293 IV, XVIII | as contradistinguished.
