But then, by these men’ 28 I, I | not, there is certainly a time when children begin to think, 29 I, I | without, and be at the same time ignorant of those characters 30 I, II | fellow-highwayman, and at the same time plunders or kills the next 31 I, II | Whether men, at the same time that they feel in themselves 32 I, II | woman, may, by length of time and consent of neighbours, 33 I, II | their actions, or date the time when any new thing appeared 34 I, II | without employing their time in the daily labours of 35 I, II | shame of having been a long time wholly in mistake and error? 36 I, II | avocation do not, or for want of time, or true helps, or for other 37 I, II | numbers are ready at any time to seal with their blood. 38 I, III | not innate, there was a time when the mind was without 39 I, III | the name, had, at the same time, far different apprehensions 40 I, III | must begin to have some time or other; and then they 41 I, III | in the dark; and in that time perfectly loses all memory 42 I, III | reason, or at any other time, remembered any of them; 43 II, I | begins to keep a register of time or order, yet it is often 44 II, I | perceive.

The soul thinks not 46 II, I | or coeval with, or some time after the first rudiments 47 II, I | he cannot think at any time, waking or sleeping: without 48 II, I | at least, who do at any time sleep without dreaming, 49 II, I | least a fourth part of its time here, as to think constantly, 50 II, I | the greatest part of their time in sleep, and are seldom 51 II, I | the greatest part of its time without perception or thought; 52 II, I | observe the alterations that time makes, and you shall find, 53 II, I | to think on. After some time it begins to know the objects 54 II, I | of all our knowledge. In time the mind comes to reflect 55 II, II | same object, at the same time, different ideas;—as a man 56 II, VII | inactive creature, and pass his time only in a lazy, lethargic 57 II, VIII | redness are not in it at any time, but such a texture that 58 II, VIII | same water, at the same time, may produce the idea of 59 II, VIII | in it, should at the same time be both hot and cold. For, 60 II, VIII | same water may, at the same time, produce the sensations 61 II, IX | only in the precedency of time. Whereas those innate principles 62 II, IX | actions seem to require no time, but many of them seem to 63 II, IX | one, if we consider the time it will require to put it 64 II, X | brought into it, for some time actually in view, which 65 II, X | ideas which, at another time, it might have use of. But, 66 II, X | inscriptions are effaced by time, and the imagery moulders 67 II, XI | taste, which at another time would produce a sweet one, 68 II, XI | of body produces at one time one, and at another time 69 II, XI | time one, and at another time another idea by the taste, 70 II, XI | in the mind at the same time. And the ideas of orange-colour 71 II, XI | respect of extent, degrees, time, place, or any other circumstances, 72 II, XI | circumstances of real existence, as time, place, or any other concomitant 73 II, XII | ideas we have of space, time, and infinity, and some 74 II, XIII | chess-board hath been in the mean time carried out of one room 75 II, XIII | no solidity. In the mean time, the argument is at least 76 II, XIV | hours, days, years, &c., time and eternity.~2. Its idea 77 II, XIV | man, to one who asked what time was: Si non rogas intelligo, ( 78 II, XIV | perhaps persuade one that time, which reveals all other 79 II, XIV | be discovered. Duration, time, and eternity, are, not 80 II, XIV | duration. To understand time and eternity aright, we 81 II, XIV | duration, and thinks that time shorter than it is. But 82 II, XIV | it is because during that time we have no succession of 83 II, XIV | out of their account of time.~6. The idea of succession 84 II, XIV | have moved during that time a great way. But as soon 85 II, XIV | that which takes up the time of only one idea in our 86 II, XIV | self-same single idea a long time alone in his mind, without 87 II, XIV | other, for any considerable time together.~14. Proof. For 88 II, XIV | sense of motion at all.~17. Time is duration set out by measures. 89 II, XIV | which most properly we call time.~18. A good measure of time 90 II, XIV | time.~18. A good measure of time must divide its whole duration 91 II, XIV | a convenient measure of time, but what has divided the 92 II, XIV | properly under the notion of time; as appears by such phrases 93 II, XIV | these, viz. “Before all time,” and “When time shall be 94 II, XIV | Before all time,” and “When time shall be no more.”~19. The 95 II, XIV | the properest measures of time for mankind. The diurnal 96 II, XIV | measuring of the length of time, having been accustomed 97 II, XIV | themselves upon any mention of time or duration presently to 98 II, XIV | on, all which portions of time were measured out by the 99 II, XIV | they were apt to confound time and motion; or at least 100 II, XIV | distinguished the intervals of time, as those that have been 101 II, XIV | at the same distance of time that it now every day comes 102 II, XIV | serve mankind for measure of time as well were the motion 103 II, XIV | distinguish the distances of time. Thus we see that men born 104 II, XIV | that men born blind count time well enough by years, whose 105 II, XIV | have a better measure of time than the Romans had before 106 II, XIV | years, or measure their time by periods that had no sensible 107 II, XIV | serve as well to reckon time by (though not to measure 108 II, XIV | can do for a measure of time is, to take such as have 109 II, XIV | us of their equality.~22. Time not the measure of motion. 110 II, XIV | men manifestly measured time by the motion of the great 111 II, XIV | visible bodies of the world, time yet should be defined to 112 II, XIV | necessary to be considered as time; and those who look a little 113 II, XIV | at all help us to measure time, any more than the seeming 114 II, XIV | then, no more necessary to time or duration, than inches, 115 II, XIV | we apply to all parts of time whose lengths we would consider; 116 II, XIV | duration; though at the same time the world were as full of 117 II, XIV | use of for the account of time, do not at all alter the 118 II, XIV | measures.~24. Our measure of time applicable to duration before 119 II, XIV | applicable to duration before time. The mind having once got 120 II, XIV | once got such a measure of time as the annual revolution 121 II, XIV | well, as if really at that time the sun had existed, and 122 II, XIV | be 5639 years from this time to the first existence of 123 II, XIV | this way of explaining of time, I have begged what I should 124 II, XIV | come to have the idea of time, we have also that idea 125 II, XIV | Egyptians of old, who in the time of Alexander counted 23, 126 II, XIV | duration of anything by time, it is not requisite that 127 II, XIV | repeat those measures of time, or ideas of stated length 128 II, XIV | repeat ideas of any length of time, as of a minute, a year, 129 II, XIV | the idea of what we call time in general. ~ 130 II, XV | and all the measures of time, taken from the great bodies 131 II, XV | of further meditation.~5. Time to duration is as place 132 II, XV | is as place to expansion. Time in general is to duration 133 II, XV | are that which we call time and place. For duration 134 II, XV | incurable confusion.~6. Time and place are taken for 135 II, XV | existence and motion of bodies. Time and place, taken thus for 136 II, XV | twofold acceptation.~First, Time in general is commonly taken 137 II, XV | them: and in this sense time begins and ends with the 138 II, XV | before mentioned, “Before all time,” or, “When time shall be 139 II, XV | Before all time,” or, “When time shall be no more.” Place 140 II, XV | determined, the particular time or duration, and the particular 141 II, XV | Secondly, sometimes the word time is used in a larger sense, 142 II, XV | accordingly our measures of time; but such other portions 143 II, XV | certain lengths of measured time; and so consider them as 144 II, XV | we said, it is a longer time since the creation of angels 145 II, XV | existence of that thing; so the time when the thing existed is, 146 II, XV | called a moment, and is the time of one idea in our minds, 147 II, XV | exist in the same moment of time. Whether angels and spirits 148 II, XV | altogether. Duration, and time which is a part of it, is 149 II, XVII | succession, whereby we measure time and duration, as hours, 150 II, XVII | mind has, being at that time terminated in that idea, ( 151 II, XVII | ourselves and the present time we are in, repeat in our 152 II, XVIII | made of the distances of time and space put together; 153 II, XVIII | complex ideas, comprehending time and space with motion.~3. 154 II, XXI | proposed to the will, till the time they are to be done; and 155 II, XXI | but is not, at the same time, at liberty to do the contrary, 156 II, XXI | another, which, at the same time I am speaking, I may wish 157 II, XXI | determines the will, from time to time, to every voluntary 158 II, XXI | determines the will, from time to time, to every voluntary action, 159 II, XXI | after his cups at the usual time, drives him to the tavern, 160 II, XXI | occasion, though he at the same time makes secret promises to 161 II, XXI | no more; this is the last time he will act against the 162 II, XXI | goods. And thus he is, from time to time, in the state of 163 II, XXI | thus he is, from time to time, in the state of that unhappy 164 II, XXI | some end, cannot at any time be moved towards what is 165 II, XXI | towards what is judged at that time unattainable: that would 166 II, XXI | urgent uneasiness we at that time feel, is that which ordinarily 167 II, XXI | absent good does not at any time make a necessary part of 168 II, XXI | he would not have, at the time that he wills and acts for 169 II, XXI | not will it, at the same time; a contradiction too manifest 170 II, XXI | of a little difference in time. But, if pleasure or pain 171 II, XXI | right judgment, do what time will, i.e. bring it home 172 II, XXI | pleasure and delight at one time, has proved insipid or nauseous 173 II, XXII | sound, and how much of our time and breath is thereby saved, 174 II, XXII | being actions that required time to their performance, and 175 II, XXII | objects, ends, instruments, time, place, and other circumstances; 176 II, XXV | denominations at the same time: v.g. Caius, compared to 177 II, XXVI | operation.~3. Relations of time. Time and place are also 178 II, XXVI | operation.~3. Relations of time. Time and place are also the foundations 179 II, XXVI | of things received from time are only relations. Thus, 180 II, XXVI | duration from our Saviour’s time till now for one entire 181 II, XXVI | one entire great length of time, it shows at what distance 182 II, XXVI | and so do all words of time answering to the question, 183 II, XXVI | distance of any point of time from the period of a longer 184 II, XXVI | related.~4. Some ideas of time supposed positive and found 185 II, XXVI | besides those, other words of time, that ordinarily are thought 186 II, XXVI | end in a certain period of time; and so have in our minds, 187 II, XXVI | some ideas we have at that time of greater or less power. 188 II, XXVII | existing at any determined time and place, we compare it 189 II, XXVII | itself existing at another time, and thereon form the ideas 190 II, XXVII | place in any instant of time, we are sure (be it what 191 II, XXVII | another which at that same time exists in another place, 192 II, XXVII | the same place at the same time, we rightly conclude, that, 193 II, XXVII | whatever exists anywhere at any time, excludes all of the same 194 II, XXVII | something that existed such a time in such a place, which it 195 II, XXVII | a different beginning in time and place from that, is 196 II, XXVII | had each its determinate time and place of beginning to 197 II, XXVII | exist, the relation to that time and place will always determine 198 II, XXVII | the same place at the same time; then those two parcels 199 II, XXVII | any sort to a particular time and place, incommunicable 200 II, XXVII | existing in a determined time and place; it is evident, 201 II, XXVII | same plant, during all the time that they exist united in 202 II, XXVII | Holland, would never from that time endure a parrot, but said 203 II, XXVII | would be by distance of time, or change of substance, 204 II, XXVII | personal self consisted at one time may be varied at another, 205 II, XXVII | and actions very remote in time into the same person, as 206 II, XXVII | to substances remote in time. That with which the consciousness 207 II, XXVII | impossible but in a little time may become a real part of 208 II, XXVII | with them make up for that time one man: as well as we suppose 209 II, XXVIII| before-mentioned occasions of time, place, and causality of 210 II, XXIX | were, faded or tarnished by time, so far are they obscure. 211 II, XXIX | confusion ideas are at any time chargeable with, we must 212 II, XXIX | church, or idolatry, every time he thinks of either, and 213 II, XXXII | different ideas at the same time; v.g. if the idea that a 214 II, XXXIII| of the thing itself, at a time when I thought not the least 215 II, XXXIII| the one no sooner at any time comes into the understanding, 216 II, XXXIII| young people. This is the time most susceptible of lasting 217 II, XXXIII| one as the other.~13. Why time cures some disorders in 218 II, XXXIII| here we see the cause why time cures certain affections, 219 II, XXXIII| joints tearing asunder. Till time has by disuse separated 220 III, II | of his ideas at the same time, and so in effect to have 221 III, III | them the circumstances of time and place, and any other 222 III, III | persons. Afterwards, when time and a larger acquaintance 223 III, V | compounded than the measures of time, extension and weight; and 224 III, VI | monster. It was for some time under deliberation, whether 225 III, VI | a man provisionally till time should show what he would 226 III, VI | since it requires much time, pains, and skill, strict 227 III, VI | Most men, wanting either time, inclination, or industry 228 III, VI | up; and so not waste our time and breath in tedious descriptions: 229 III, VI | particulars, leaves out those of time and place, and such other, 230 III, VI | and to lay by, at the same time, the ordinary signification 231 III, VI | words kinneah and niouph. In time, Adam’s mistake appears, 232 III, VII | action of its own, at that time, relating to those ideas. 233 III, X | to counsel; who, by that time he hath done explaining 234 III, X | the words they have a long time been used to, remaining 235 III, XI | that they think on at that time, as expressed by that word, 236 III, XI | analysis at large, every time the word justice comes in 237 III, XI | hands as well as too much time, cost, pains, and sagacity 238 III, XI | mentioned will require too much time, cost, and pains to be hoped 239 III, XI | with more ease, and in less time, teach the true signification 240 IV, I | able to think on at one time.~9. Habitual knowledge is 241 IV, I | proposition that he now at any time reads in his book to be 242 IV, I | less decay in length of time, this, amongst other differences, 243 IV, III | two colours at the same time. To this, perhaps will be 244 IV, III | two colours at the same time? To which I answer, that 245 IV, III | placed, may at the same time afford different colours: 246 IV, III | subject, which at the same time appears both yellow and 247 IV, III | body should at the same time differently modify or reflect 248 IV, III | and textures at the same time.~16. Our knowledge of the 249 IV, III | the same name) more at one time than another. Secondly, 250 IV, III | will succeed again another time, we cannot be certain. This 251 IV, IV | not but my reader, by this time, may be apt to think that 252 IV, V | idea itself, which requires time and attention to be recollected, 253 IV, V | nor worth the pains and time men employ in the search 254 IV, VII | and distinct at the same time, which is a contradiction: 255 IV, VII | propositions, it comes in time to be thought, that more 256 IV, X | in the world. There was a time, then, when there was no 257 IV, X | it be said, there was a time when no being had any knowledge, 258 IV, X | manifest a contradiction, as a time wherein there was perfectly 259 IV, XI | something doth exist at that time without us, which causes 260 IV, XI | there doth something at that time really exist without us, 261 IV, XI | exist, which at the same time I saw upon a bubble of that 262 IV, XI | understanding that at any time makes them; nor because 263 IV, XI | to be made again at any time, past or to come, by a mind 264 IV, XII | of magnitude, may not in time be found out, I will not 265 IV, XII | real essences, grasp at a time whole sheaves, and in bundles 266 IV, XVI | renounce those tenets which time and custom have so settled 267 IV, XVII | reckoning: and if at any time we reason about words which 268 IV, XX | instructed, when all their whole time and pains are laid out to 269 IV, XX | living, as to have no spare time at all to think of his soul, 270 IV, XX | with no small expense of time and candle, and confirmed 271 IV, XX | hard study he hath all this time been labouring for; and 272 IV, XX | and improbable at the same time.~16. Where it is in our
