  2      I,  I    |             are understood. That “two bodies cannot be in the same place”
  3      I,  III  |           sent us into the world with bodies unclothed; and that there
  4      I,  III  |        according as the organs of our bodies and powers of our minds
  5     II,  I    |          distinct ideas as we do from bodies affecting our senses. This

  7     II,  I    |               We have here, then, the bodies of two men with only one

 10     II,  II   |        imagine any other qualities in bodies, howsoever constituted,
 11     II,  III  |             not more, than species of bodies in the world, do most of

 15     II,  IV   |             ever hinder any other two bodies, that move towards one another

 22     II,  IV   |              constitutions of our own bodies; that being generally called
 23     II,  IV   |           pressure of any part of our bodies; and that, on the contrary,

 41     II,  VIII |          Qualities thus considered in bodies are,~First, such as are
 42     II,  VIII |          reckoned as so many distinct bodies, after division, make a
 43     II,  VIII |                Secondary qualities of bodies. Secondly, such qualities

 45     II,  VIII |              to be considered is, how bodies produce ideas in us; and
 46     II,  VIII |             way which we can conceive bodies to operate in.~12. By motions,
 47     II,  VIII |         spirits, by some parts of our bodies, to the brains or the seat
 48     II,  VIII |         figure, number, and motion of bodies of an observable bigness,

 50     II,  VIII |               manifest that there are bodies and good store of bodies,
 51     II,  VIII |              bodies and good store of bodies, each whereof are so small,
 52     II,  VIII |             the colours and smells of bodies; v.g. that a violet, by
 53     II,  VIII |               of primary qualities of bodies are resemblances of them,
 54     II,  VIII |       patterns do really exist in the bodies themselves, but the ideas
 55     II,  VIII |            our ideas, existing in the bodies themselves. They are, in
 56     II,  VIII |          themselves. They are, in the bodies we denominate from them,
 57     II,  VIII |              insensible parts, in the bodies themselves, which we call
 58     II,  VIII |               to be the same in those bodies that those ideas are in
 59     II,  VIII |            they really exist in those bodies. But light, heat, whiteness,

 62     II,  VIII |              between the qualities in bodies, and the ideas produced
 63     II,  VIII |         primary and real qualities of bodies, which are always in them (
 64     II,  VIII |        perceived by us, viz. when the bodies they are in are big enough

 66     II,  VIII |           Three sorts of qualities in bodies. The qualities, then, that
 67     II,  VIII |          qualities, then, that are in bodies, rightly considered, are
 68     II,  VIII |             relating to several other bodies, and resulting from the

 71     II,  VIII | before-mentioned primary qualities in bodies, viz. bulk, figure, extension,
 72     II,  VIII |             whereby we take notice of bodies, and distinguish them one

 75     II,  IX   |         perception. Fire may burn our bodies with no other effect than
 76     II,  IX   |               impressions of sounding bodies made upon the organ of hearing,
 77     II,  IX   |    unavoidable effects, either of the bodies that environ them, or else
 78     II,  IX   |             kind of appearance convex bodies are wont to make in us;
 79     II,  IX   |               the sensible figures of bodies;—the judgment presently,

 82     II,  X    |             the original qualities of bodies, vis. solidity, extension,
 83     II,  X    |          almost constantly affect our bodies, as heat and cold; and those

 87     II,  XIII |             sight, a distance between bodies of different colours, or
 88     II,  XIII |             fathoms, here amongst the bodies of the universe, or else
 89     II,  XIII |              the utmost bounds of all bodies; and, by adding these still
 90     II,  XIII |           touch discovers in sensible bodies, whose extremities come
 91     II,  XIII |               the eye takes both from bodies and colours, whose boundaries
 92     II,  XIII |              distance between any two bodies or points; so in our idea
 93     II,  XIII |          Place relative to particular bodies. Thus, a company of chess-men,
 94     II,  XIII |          place, in respect of remoter bodies, which have kept the same
 95     II,  XIII |           must be determined by other bodies. So if any one should ask,
 96     II,  XIII |               Division of beings into bodies and spirits proves not space
 97     II,  XIII |             if nothing be between two bodies, they must necessarily touch;
 98     II,  XIII |              is or may be between two bodies at a distance, that is not

102     II,  XIII |           body. For the circumambient bodies being in perfect rest, are
103     II,  XIII |               a vacuum, the motion of bodies that are in our view and
104     II,  XIII |              as lying between any two bodies or positive beings, without
105     II,  XIII |             extremities of particular bodies; and the term expansion
106     II,  XIV  |            the idea of extension from bodies by his sight or touch, can
107     II,  XIV  |              distance with some other bodies as fast as the ideas of
108     II,  XIV  |               of distance between two bodies, which we have from motion;
109     II,  XIV  |              motion of those heavenly bodies, they were apt to confound
110     II,  XIV  |              of the great and visible bodies of the world, time yet should

112     II,  XIV  |              foot or yard, taken from bodies here, can be applied in
113     II,  XIV  |               the world, where are no bodies at all.~25. As we can measure
114     II,  XIV  |             or beyond the duration of bodies or motion, as we can this
115     II,  XIV  |               space beyond the utmost bodies; and by the one measure

117     II,  XV   |               existence and motion of bodies. Time and place, taken thus
118     II,  XV   |              and motions of the great bodies of the universe, as far
119     II,  XV   |            from the bulk or motion of bodies. Secondly, sometimes the
120     II,  XV   |             and periodical motions of bodies, that were appointed from
121     II,  XV   |          thought: though the parts of bodies from whence we take our
122     II,  XV   |             All that we know is, that bodies do each singly possess its
123     II,  XV   |             thereby exclude all other bodies from having any share in
124     II,  XVII |               so little, here amongst bodies; and if it be possible for
125     II,  XVII |            space interspersed amongst bodies, will always remain clear
126     II,  XVII |            beyond the confines of all bodies, being exactly the same,

136     II,  XXI  |               as a hurricane does our bodies, without leaving us the
137     II,  XXI  |            either on our minds or our bodies, and in different degrees;
138     II,  XXI  |               motions of these minute bodies, which produce those several

144     II,  XXIII|              a thousand changes, that bodies we daily handle have a power

153     II,  XXIII|            angels do sometimes assume bodies, needs not startle us; since

155     II,  XXIII|             they perceive and know in bodies, will it perhaps upon examination
156     II,  XXIII|             rest, so the mind can put bodies into motion, or forbear
157     II,  XXIII|              that spirits, as well as bodies, cannot operate but where

167     II,  XXIII|          incomprehensible. The little bodies that compose that fluid

169     II,  XXIII|               explain the cohesion of bodies is as unintelligible as

180     II,  XXVII|                For example: could two bodies be in the same place at
181     II,  XXVII|             great or little; nay, all bodies must be one and the same.
182     II,  XXVII|              may be in one place, all bodies may be in one place: which,
183     II,  XXVII|            not be united to different bodies, it will be possible that
184     II,  XXVII|    miscarriages, be detruded into the bodies of beasts, as fit habitations,

186     II,  XXVII|               of evidence in our very bodies, all whose particles, whilst
187     II,  XXVII|              or variety of particular bodies: unless they will say, it
188     II,  XXVII|             revolved in several human bodies; as I once met with one,
189     II,  XXVII|               alone, in the change of bodies, would scarce to any one
190     II,  XXVII|               intervals, two distinct bodies: I ask, in the first case,
191     II,  XXVII|            one person in two distinct bodies, as much as one man is the
192     II,  XXVII|        bringing it with them to those bodies; which, whether true or
193     II,  XXVII|            self. Thus any part of our bodies, vitally united to that

195     II,  XXVII|          times be united to different bodies, and with them make up for
196     II,  XXIX |              of corpuscles, or minute bodies, so to be divided, when,
197     II,  XXIX |            bulk or extension of those bodies, having but a very obscure
198     II,  XXIX |           when we talk of division of bodies in infinitum, our idea of
199     II,  XXX  |              the primary qualities of bodies, hath been already shown.
200     II,  XXXI |               various sensations from bodies. But this being an inquiry

206    III,  VI   |          others. For, though they are bodies of the same species, having
207    III,  VI   |           moving several parts of our bodies; we can no otherwise distinguish
208    III,  VI   |              those other which to the bodies of men had the heads of

249     IV,  III  |             truths concerning natural bodies: and our reason carries
250     IV,  III  |               26. Hence no science of bodies within our reach. And therefore
251     IV,  III  |          adequate ideas of those very bodies which are nearest to us,
252     IV,  III  |               of the several sorts of bodies that fall under the examination

256     IV,  III  |         figure, and motion of several bodies about us produce in us several
257     IV,  III  |              mechanical affections of bodies having no affinity at all
258     IV,  III  |       operation of our minds upon our bodies is as inconceivable. How
259     IV,  III  |        philosophical knowledge of the bodies that are about us, and make
260     IV,  III  |           guess what effects the like bodies are, upon other trials,
261     IV,  III  |            perfect science of natural bodies, (not to mention spiritual
262     IV,  IV   |              that outward mark of our bodies no more carries with it
263     IV,  VI   |               such an idea as this of bodies, and could perceive wherein
264     IV,  VI   |              receive on or from other bodies. The same may be said of
265     IV,  VI   |            and influence of all other bodies, it will immediately lose
266     IV,  VI   |               fluid. But if inanimate bodies owe so much of their present
267     IV,  VI   |          their present state to other bodies without them, that they
268     IV,  VI   |               appear to us were those bodies that environ them removed;
269     IV,  VI   |         causes and qualities of other bodies that make no part of them,
270     IV,  VI   |        without them: though yet those bodies on which they depend are
271     IV,  VI   |              and possibly very remote bodies do the springs of these

276     IV,  VI   |          their thinking and moving of bodies, we at first sight find
277     IV,  VI   |               to the consideration of bodies and their operations, and
278     IV,  VII  |    self-evident proposition, that two bodies cannot be in the same place.~

280     IV,  VIII |            little of God, spirits, or bodies, as he did before he set

290     IV,  XII  |   demonstrations. In the knowledge of bodies, we must be content to glean
291     IV,  XII  |          substances. The knowledge of bodies we must get by our senses,
292     IV,  XVI  |       constitutions and properties of bodies, and the regular proceedings

295     IV,  XVI  |          superficial parts of several bodies, as of velvet, watered silk, &
