But were the number far less, it would be enough 11 I, II | the understanding are so far from being confirmed hereby, 12 I, II | cited: nor need we seek so far as Mingrelia or Peru to 13 I, II | preserve your children,” is so far from an innate truth, that 14 I, II | as a duty be so) are so far from being innate, that 15 I, II | appetites; but these are so far from being innate moral 16 I, II | great part of men are so far from finding any such innate 17 I, II | assent to, yet I think he is far from proving them innate 18 I, II | will be a proposition so far from being certain, that 19 I, II | doth command; and so be as far from any rule or principle 20 I, III | stand for two ideas, so far from being innate, or born 21 I, III | understandings. They are so far from being brought into 22 I, III | discourses of people not so far off, we should have too 23 I, III | must necessarily spread it far and wide; and continue it 24 I, III | apprehensions would be as far removed from any name, or 25 I, III | the same name, men have far different, nay often contrary 26 I, III | had, at the same time, far different apprehensions 27 I, III | inconsiderate part of men, making far the greater number, took 28 I, III | notions of a God, prevailed so far as to make men to have the 29 I, III | uniform idea of Himself; as far as our weak capacities were 30 I, III | characters. I must own, as far as I can observe, I can 31 I, III | thoughts short and went not so far. The same may happen concerning 32 I, III | consistent with itself, as far as my own experience and 33 II, II | fifth sense had been as far from our notice, imagination, 34 II, IV | solidity. For (not to go so far as annihilation of any particular 35 II, VIII | and thinks he knows how far either of them is, in its 36 II, VIII | approach, produce in us the far different sensation of pain, 37 II, IX | yet these simple ideas are far from those innate principles 38 II, IX | that sense; and also the far different ideas of space, 39 II, IX | not at all retained. How far such an one (notwithstanding 40 II, X | loses the idea quite, and so far it produces perfect ignorance. 41 II, X | which in this faculty may so far excel man, that they may 42 II, X | proportions he pleases, as far as created finite beings 43 II, XI | other knowledge, that so far as this faculty is in itself 44 II, XI | one thing from another,—so far our notions are confused, 45 II, XI | compare but imperfectly. How far brutes partake in this faculty, 46 II, XI | I suppose, brutes come far short of man. For, though 47 II, XI | Idiots and madmen. How far idiots are concerned in 48 II, XI | understanding. These alone, as far as I can discover, are the 49 II, XIII | doubtful a term; which is so far from being suspected to 50 II, XIII | vacuum. But not to go so far as beyond the utmost bounds 51 II, XIV | world, though there were so far back no motion of the sun, 52 II, XV | bodies of the universe, as far as we know anything of them: 53 II, XV | duration of the Almighty far different from that of man, 54 II, XV | beings; who, though they may far exceed man in knowledge 55 II, XVI | distinguished one from another, as far as he hath a series of names 56 II, XVI | nor proceed in it very far or steadily, till a good 57 II, XVII | them in our thoughts as far as we can, with all the 58 II, XVII | progress in this space, how far soever it extends its thoughts. 59 II, XVII | adamantine walls, are so far from putting a stop to the 60 II, XVII | and enlarges it. For so far as that body reaches, so 61 II, XVII | as that body reaches, so far no one can doubt of extension; 62 II, XVII | to a greater, we are so far from increasing, that we 63 II, XVII | that cannot but be very far from a positive complete 64 II, XVII | measured so much, or gone so far, you are not yet at the 65 II, XVII | remains of smallness is as far from his thoughts as when 66 II, XIX | difficulty leads him thus far. That which I would further 67 II, XX | of the good proposed, as far as the uneasiness is cured 68 II, XXI | thinking and motion; so far as a man has power to think 69 II, XXI | direction of his own mind, so far is a man free. Wherever 70 II, XXI | idea of liberty reaches as far as that power, and no farther. 71 II, XXI | stopping any action, as far as it depends on us? For 72 II, XXI | language of the country, so far as it can consist with truth 73 II, XXI | I think,~First, That so far as any one can, by the direction 74 II, XXI | to exist or not exist, so far he is free. For if I can, 75 II, XXI | or hold my peace: and as far as this power reaches, of 76 II, XXI | thought preferring either, so far is a man free. For how can 77 II, XXI | do what he will? And so far as any one can, by preferring 78 II, XXI | that action or rest, so far can he do what he will. 79 II, XXI | shift off from himself, as far as he can, all thoughts 80 II, XXI | free. Nor is any being, as far I can comprehend beings 81 II, XXI | proposed, which are the far greater number. For, considering 82 II, XXI | man to motion or rest, as far as they depend on such direction; 83 II, XXI | such as he confesses is far greater than the tickling 84 II, XXI | think few people need go far from home to be convinced. 85 II, XXI | whose happiness reaches so far as to afford them a constant 86 II, XXI | durable joys after this life, far surpassing all the good 87 II, XXI | restraint to liberty. This is so far from being a restraint or 88 II, XXI | its choice, would be so far from being an advantage 89 II, XXI | good and evil of it, as far forth as the weight of the 90 II, XXI | concerning them. To see how far this reaches, and what are 91 II, XXI | and he that will not be so far a rational creature as to 92 II, XXI | called indifferency; and as far as this indifferency reaches, 93 II, XXI | actions; and consequently so far the effects barely of passive 94 II, XXII | figure alone afford us. How far then mixed modes, which 95 II, XXIII | powers: all which powers, as far as we have any notice or 96 II, XXIII | and to examine them so far as to apply them to our 97 II, XXIII | we know of it, we are as far from the idea of the substance 98 II, XXIII | that was done, would he be far enough from making the extension 99 II, XXIII | incomprehensible of all other: so far is our extension of body ( 100 II, XXV | the same in men who have far different ideas of the things 101 II, XXV | compared: v.g. those who have far different ideas of a man, 102 II, XXVII | a rational being: and as far as this consciousness can 103 II, XXVII | past action or thought, so far reaches the identity of 104 II, XXVII | several substances. For as far as any intelligent being 105 II, XXVII | of any present action; so far it is the same personal 106 II, XXVII | will be the same self, as far as the same consciousness 107 II, XXVII | shown. And therefore how far the consciousness of past 108 II, XXVII | goodness of God; who, as far as the happiness or misery 109 II, XXVII | punishment with it. How far this may be an argument 110 II, XXVII | Troy, (for souls being, as far as we know anything of them, 111 II, XXVII | plain, consciousness, as far as ever it can be extended— 112 II, XXVII | concerned for itself, as far as that consciousness extends. 113 II, XXVII | that thing, as its own, as far as that consciousness reaches, 114 II, XXVIII| some others, and so is so far related to them, as well 115 II, XXVIII| right and wrong: and as far as they really are so applied, 116 II, XXVIII| are so applied, they so far are coincident with the 117 II, XXVIII| good or bad; and so, as far as they are compared with 118 II, XXIX | they are clear ideas. So far as they either want anything 119 II, XXIX | or tarnished by time, so far are they obscure. Complex 120 II, XXIX | ingenuity, be avoided, yet I am far from concluding it everywhere 121 II, XXIX | a division carried on so far brings it no nearer the 122 II, XXIX | remaining abyss being still as far beyond the end of all these 123 II, XXXI | speaking, his idea is so far defective and inadequate, 124 II, XXXI | to and partakes of, is so far from needing proof that 125 II, XXXI | are unknown, must be so far from being adequate that 126 II, XXXI | triangle depend on, and, as far as they are discoverable, 127 II, XXXI | the sound form; which is far enough from an idea of its 128 II, XXXI | due application, exceeding far not only what we know, but 129 II, XXXI | who will but consider how far men are yet from knowing 130 II, XXXII | capable of being wrong, as far as they disagree with such 131 II, XXXIII| and as it were natural. As far as we can comprehend thinking, 132 II, XXXIII| if it does not reach so far, it is at least the most 133 II, XXXIII| dangerous one, since, so far as it obtains, it hinders 134 III, II | to those sounds. But so far as words are of use and 135 III, II | use and signification, so far is there a constant connexion 136 III, II | all languages, which so far limits the signification 137 III, III | quite the contrary. The far greatest part of words that 138 III, III | woman were a man, even so far as that it hath been debated, 139 III, III | inseparably annexed. But it is far otherwise concerning that 140 III, IV | of a being in power, as far forth as in power”; which 141 III, IV | stands for; but is very far from a definition, unless 142 III, IV | The act of perspicuous, as far forth as perspicuous,” is 143 III, IV | celebrated delicious fruit. So far as he is told it has a resemblance 144 III, IV | strangers to his palate, so far may he approach that resemblance 145 III, V | the name is annexed. Thus far the names and essences of 146 III, V | these Latin names, were very far different from those which 147 III, V | which divers particulars, as far forth as they agreed to 148 III, VI | properties of gold depend. How far these two are different, 149 III, VI | individual man would be as far different from what it is 150 III, VI | their real constitutions, as far different one from another 151 III, VI | real essences, that are so far from our discovery or comprehension. 152 III, VI | persuaded that there are far more species of creatures 153 III, VI | species man; and yet how far men determine of the sorts 154 III, VI | our own collecting: and so far are we from certainly knowing 155 III, VI | boundaries of that species are so far from being determined, and 156 III, VI | make the nominal essence so far from being settled and perfectly 157 III, VI | and thinking; yet men are far enough from having agreed 158 III, VI | qualities co-existing, are yet far enough from comprehending, 159 III, VI | that shall consider how far the names of substances 160 III, VIII | amongst the Romans; but in a far different sense, and stood 161 III, IX | not be made the sign of far different ideas. Besides, 162 III, IX | because it has been so far from being taken notice 163 III, X | subtle device of learning, far surpassing the capacity 164 III, X | imperfection or abuse, how far it may concern a great many 165 III, X | they charm men into notions far remote from the truth of 166 III, X | properties depend. Which is so far from diminishing the imperfection 167 III, X | have not the idea, is so far from helping at all, that 168 III, X | trust has nowhere spread so far, nor with so ill effects, 169 III, X | he applies them, does, so far as he uses them in discourse, 170 III, X | brain, but will be very far from advancing thereby one 171 III, X | existence of things, so far wants the materials of true 172 III, XI | must correspond with. It is far easier for men to frame 173 IV, I | perceive its ideas; and so far as it perceives them, to 174 IV, II | praeconcessis: which, how far it is a mistake, I shall 175 IV, II | the idea of whiteness in far different degrees.~13. The 176 IV, II | distinct knowledge; because, as far as any ideas are confused, 177 IV, II | any ideas are confused, so far the mind cannot perceive 178 IV, III | extent of All-being, and far short of what we may justly 179 IV, III | parts of body: Body, as far as we can conceive, being 180 IV, III | use to us to discern how far our knowledge does reach; 181 IV, III | confess that he is very far from certainly knowing what 182 IV, III | as inexplicable, and as far remote from his comprehension? 183 IV, III | short of that too: but how far it reaches, let us now inquire.~ 184 IV, III | let us now inquire.~7. How far our knowledge reaches. The 185 IV, III | existence. I shall examine how far our knowledge extends in 186 IV, III | diversity in ideas extends as far as our ideas themselves. 187 IV, III | intuitive knowledge is as far extended as our ideas themselves: 188 IV, III | produce them. We are so far from knowing what figure, 189 IV, III | own souls within us, as far as they can come within 190 IV, III | of nobler beings; and how far short they come of the endowments 191 IV, III | it is not easy to say how far our knowledge extends. Thirdly, 192 IV, III | is hard to determine how far it may extend: because the 193 IV, III | whereby a man may know how far his intuitive knowledge 194 IV, III | knowledge; if, discovering how far we have clear and distinct 195 IV, III | conceit, we need not go far. He that knows anything, 196 IV, III | they may receive of them far different from ours, we 197 IV, III | of corporeal beings; how far they are extended; what 198 IV, III | minuteness. If a great, nay, far the greatest part of the 199 IV, III | am apt to doubt that, how far soever human industry may 200 IV, III | and confined it is, how far from general knowledge we 201 IV, III | agent. The things that, as far as our observation reaches, 202 IV, III | ourselves, that we are so far from being able to comprehend 203 IV, III | senses, of which we have so far sensitive knowledge: but 204 IV, III | beings,) we are, I think, so far from being capable of any 205 IV, III | whereabouts they were, how far their discoveries were advanced, 206 IV, IV | therefore is real only so far as there is a conformity 207 IV, IV | things themselves.~12. So far as our complex ideas agree 208 IV, IV | archetypes without us, so far our knowledge concerning 209 IV, IV | the subjects of real (as far as we have any) knowledge 210 IV, IV | not be found to reach very far: but so far as it does, 211 IV, IV | to reach very far: but so far as it does, it will still 212 IV, IV | when his actions carry far less marks of reason with 213 IV, IV | defect in the mind (the far more noble, and, in the 214 IV, IV | in the common phrase, the far more essential part) not? 215 IV, V | otherwise than it is. And so far as these ideas, thus marked 216 IV, V | to their archetypes, so far only is the truth real. 217 IV, VI | there can be no doubt how far the species extends, or 218 IV, VI | ties them together.~10. As far as any such co-existence 219 IV, VI | co-existence can be known, so far universal propositions may 220 IV, VI | real certainty. But yet so far as any complex idea of any 221 IV, VI | other may be discovered, so far universal propositions may 222 IV, VI | the other. But we are so far from being admitted into 223 IV, VI | needs have their source far beyond the confines of that 224 IV, VI | operations, and examined how far our notions, even in these, 225 IV, VII | and also to examine how far they influence and govern 226 IV, VII | intuitive knowledge reaches as far as our ideas. And we are 227 IV, VII | sciences; wherein they are far enough from receiving any 228 IV, VII | teaching it to others, as far as it is advanced—they would 229 IV, VII | of teaching sciences as far as they are advanced: but 230 IV, VII | maxims, That they are so far from improving or establishing 231 IV, VII | senses to discover to us as far as they can. Those universal 232 IV, VII | undetermined ideas, I have been far enough from saying or intending 233 IV, VII | cannot be laid aside. As far as their influence will 234 IV, VII | and we shall see, that so far as demonstration is by these 235 IV, VIII | instructive; but they are far from such as affirm the 236 IV, VIII | beings, as well as others, as far as they have relative significations 237 IV, VIII | that most writers are so far from instructing us in the 238 IV, X | discover and know him; so far as is necessary to the end 239 IV, X | sole proof of a God. How far the idea of a most perfect 240 IV, X | knowledge will still be as far beyond the power of motion 241 IV, X | Being: whereby they are so far from establishing, that 242 IV, X | and raise our thoughts, as far as they would reach, to 243 IV, X | would perhaps lead us too far from the notions on which 244 IV, X | pardonable to deviate so far from them; or to inquire, 245 IV, X | them; or to inquire, so far as grammar itself would 246 IV, XI | least, he that can doubt so far, (whatever he may have with 247 IV, XI | perceive: and we cannot so far distrust their testimony, 248 IV, XI | this knowledge extends as far as the present testimony 249 IV, XII | and complete ideas, as far as they are to be had, and 250 IV, XII | which has carried them so far, and produced such wonderful 251 IV, XII | agreement one with another; so far as we can find their habitudes 252 IV, XII | habitudes and relations, so far we shall be possessed of 253 IV, XII | myself to experience; as far as that reaches, I may have 254 IV, XII | enlarge our knowledge, as far as we are capable, seem 255 IV, XII | cannot exceed our ideas; as far as they are either imperfect, 256 IV, XII | other views before it, far different from those maxims, 257 IV, XIII | the objects themselves, as far as they are clearly discovered. 258 IV, XIII | discovered. And therefore, as far as men’s senses are conversant 259 IV, XIII | of things without: and so far as men’s thoughts converse 260 IV, XIII | some of them, which is so far knowledge: and if they have 261 IV, XVI | fairness sifted the matter as far as they could; and that 262 IV, XVI | all men, in all ages, as far as it can be known, concurs 263 IV, XVI | and my own experience, as far as I had an opportunity 264 IV, XVI | degrees of probability. Thus far the matter goes easy enough. 265 IV, XVI | one after another, is so far from receiving any strength 266 IV, XVI | have no life? Things, as far as we can observe, lessen 267 IV, XVII | they do so. All who have so far considered syllogism, as 268 IV, XVII | But they who have not so far looked into those forms, 269 IV, XVII | may truly say, it is of far less, or no use at all in 270 IV, XVII | mighty fabric, yet it comes far short of the real extent 271 IV, XVII | this some men’s faculties far outgo others. Till algebra, 272 IV, XVII | principles. Reason is so far from clearing the difficulties 273 IV, XVIII | knowledge and certainty, as far as we want clear and determined 274 IV, XVIII | till it be resolved how far we are to be guided by reason, 275 IV, XVIII | guided by reason, and how far by faith, we shall in vain 276 IV, XVIII | contradistinguished. I find every sect, as far as reason will help them, 277 IV, XVIII | revelation much less. Thus far a man has use of reason, 278 IV, XVIII | to be hearkened to. Thus far the dominion of faith reaches, 279 IV, XVIII | follies, and judge them so far from being acceptable to 280 IV, XIX | inclinations that way, and is so far a derogation from the love 281 IV, XIX | In what I have said I am far from denying, that God can, 282 IV, XX | less in them. These are as far, nay further, from the liberty 283 IV, XX | with our principles, is so far from passing for probable 284 IV, XX | satisfactory examination, as far as the matter in question
