If any one take the like offence at the 3 Read | watchful in such points, and to take the alarm even at expressions, 4 Int | confidence, that he that shall take a view of the opinions of 5 Int | apt to run into, was, to take a survey of our own understandings, 6 I, I | to question it. But yet I take liberty to say, that these 7 I, I | who, being prepossessed, take not the pains to examine 8 I, I | not innate. Those who will take the pains to reflect with 9 I, I | since any one, who will but take the pains to observe what 10 I, I | terms.” It is fit we first take notice that this, instead 11 I, I | would be to make nature take pains to no purpose; or 12 I, II | And if we look abroad to take a view of men as they are, 13 I, II | innate. For example: let us take any of these rules, which, 14 I, II | held up and prepared to take vengeance, (for this must 15 I, II | than bare machines, they take away not only innate, but 16 I, II | interiori descriptae. For I must take leave to observe:—~16.

Further 21 I, II | and almost unavoidable, to take up with some borrowed principles; 22 I, II | are to be believed, may take up, from his education and 23 I, II | so dim his sight as to take monsters lodged in his own 24 I, III | bigger than a part. This, I take it, is reckoned amongst 25 I, III | any other. It is easy to take notice how their thoughts 26 I, III | positive] idea, which we take to be the substratum, or 27 I, III | doctrines as such; which was to take them off from the use of 28 I, III | opinions, I have been forced to take several things for granted; 29 I, III | seldom assumed by others, to take my principles for granted; 30 II, I | from whence all our ideas take their beginnings.

And though our senses take no notice of it, but in 37 II, VI | every one that pleases may take notice of them in himself, 38 II, VIII | perceived by our senses: v.g.

Take away the sensation of them; 41 II, VIII | in the manna, whether we take notice of them or no: this 42 II, VIII | all the rest, whereby we take notice of bodies, and distinguish 43 II, IX | constantly and so quick, that we take that for the perception 44 II, IX | as itself is thought to take up no space, to have no 45 II, IX | his own thoughts, who will take the pains to reflect on 46 II, IX | even in mankind itself. Take one in whom decrepit old 47 II, X | senses being, to make us take notice of what hurts or 48 II, XI | Another faculty we may take notice of in our minds is 49 II, XI | examine: it suffices to take notice, that this is one 50 II, XI | similitude, and by affinity to take one thing for another.

For, though they take in, and retain together, 52 II, XI | particular idea that we take in should have a distinct 53 II, XII | by one another, so as to take a view of them at once, 54 II, XIII | not be perhaps amiss to take a view of some of them again 55 II, XIII | supports the earth, as we take it for a sufficient answer 56 II, XIII | of things, would scarce take it for a satisfactory account, 57 II, XIII | between is sufficient to take away the necessity of mutual 58 II, XIII | make matter infinite, and take from God a power to annihilate 59 II, XIII | argue with those men, who take the measure and possibility 60 II, XIII | But whether any one will take space to be only a relation 61 II, XIV | the train of ideas that take their turns in our understandings. 62 II, XIV | intently on one thing, so as to take but little notice of the 63 II, XIV | through a room, and in its way take with it any limb, or fleshy 64 II, XIV | two sounds or pains, &c., take up in their succession the 65 II, XIV | quickness in which they take their turns, as when any 66 II, XIV | Proof. For trial, let him take any figure, any degree of 67 II, XIV | what the ideas are that take their turns in his understanding; 68 II, XIV | shows that the notice we take of the ideas of our own 69 II, XIV | a measure of time is, to take such as have continual successive 70 II, XV | of bodies from whence we take our measure of the one; 71 II, XV | our minds, from whence we take the measure of the other, 72 II, XVI | whereas, in the way we take now to name them, by millions 73 II, XVII | the least part; but if you take the idea of white, which 74 II, XVII | always add to the one, and take from the other, hath no 75 II, XVIII | also very various: some we take notice of as the different 76 II, XXI | such, that we have power to take it up, or lay it by, according 77 II, XXI | he feels in himself shall take place, and carry his will 78 II, XXI | his drinking hours, will take resolutions to pursue the 79 II, XXI | yet would be content to take up with their happiness 80 II, XXI | enjoyments of this life, take their turns in the determining 81 II, XXI | and all that while they take not one step, are not one 82 II, XXI | acquired habits have heaped up, take the will in their turns; 83 II, XXI | obligation and motive to them, to take care not to mistake or miss 84 II, XXI | endeavours. In this we should take pains to suit the relish 85 II, XXI | that he might examine, and take care of his own happiness, 86 II, XXI | various and contrary ways men take, though all aim at being 87 II, XXI | it as present, and there take its true dimensions? This 88 II, XXI | the eyes, look about, and take a view of the consequence 89 II, XXI | of pain, they are apt to take up with any pleasure at 90 II, XXI | judging wrong; when they take not that to be necessary 91 II, XXI | if we make our thoughts take a little more exact survey 92 II, XXII | make, or perhaps so much as take notice of, names come of 93 II, XXII | languages constantly change, take up new and lay by old terms. 94 II, XXII | one will see, who will but take the pains to enumerate all 95 II, XXII | yet I could not avoid to take this much notice here of 96 II, XXIII | found in them: only we must take notice, that our complex 97 II, XXIII | all those powers that we take cognizance of, terminating 98 II, XXIII | really in them, whether we take notice of them or not. Secondly, 99 II, XXIII | much as open daylight; nor take in but a very small part 100 II, XXIII | powers, however we are apt to take them for positive qualities; 101 II, XXV | people are not so apt to take them to be so, as wanting 102 II, XXVI | the notice that our senses take of the constant vicissitude 103 II, XXVII | must be one and the same, take them great or little; nay, 104 II, XXVII | gives of himself, should take so much pains, in a place 105 II, XXVII | which yet whilst dreaming we take for true—will be difficult 106 II, XXVII | answer, that we must here take notice what the word I is 107 II, XXVII | to the same animal.~Now, take which of these suppositions 108 II, XXVII | memory and forgetfulness to take their turns regularly by 109 II, XXVII | forensic term. Person, as I take it, is the name for this 110 II, XXVIII| another, to mention and take notice of men under these 111 II, XXVIII| that reference, men usually take no notice of it, and the 112 II, XXVIII| another life; for nobody can take us out of his hands. This 113 II, XXVIII| its laws, and has power to take away life, liberty, or goods, 114 II, XXVIII| contradictions, who can take pleasure in company, and 115 II, XXVIII| of these laws that they take their measures, when they 116 II, XXVIII| them: whether, I say, we take that rule from the fashion 117 II, XXVIII| So that whencesoever we take the rule of moral actions; 118 II, XXVIII| of moral actions, we must take notice of them under this 119 II, XXVIII| sounds, and are forward to take names for things, are often 120 II, XXIX | of words uncertain, and take away the benefit of distinct 121 II, XXIX | let him for trial sake take another parcel of the same 122 II, XXXI | there almost, who would not take it amiss if it should be 123 II, XXXI | gold, could not rationally take the bulk and figure he observed 124 II, XXXII | easily preserve those who take any care in the use of their 125 II, XXXIII| acquired antipathies; but I take notice of it for another 126 III, II | language) the same ideas we take them to be signs of: and 127 III, V | with other ideas: but if we take a little nearer survey of 128 III, V | by the mind, we need but take a view of almost any of 129 III, V | communication. The reason why I take so particular notice of 130 III, V | modes, seldom imagine or take any other for species of 131 III, VI | appears from hence: that, take but away the abstract ideas 132 III, VI | shape; a fever or fall may take away my reason or memory, 133 III, VI | of this or that sort: but take away the consideration of 134 III, VI | familiar use of things about us take off our wonder, yet it cures 135 III, VI | joined, that, if you will take the lowest of one and the 136 III, VI | united as those that they take. Of sensible substances 137 III, VI | there also: and we commonly take these two obvious qualities, 138 III, VI | examination, give them names, or take up the names already in 139 III, VI | Eve, and desires her to take care that Adah commit not 140 III, VI | familiar use, could not take them for insignificant sounds, 141 III, VII | and force they have, must take a little more pains, enter 142 III, IX | it will be needless to take notice. Since the numerous 143 III, IX | occasion in another place to take notice. Let us only here 144 III, X | this abuse yet further, who take so little care to lay by 145 III, X | notions annexed to them. Men take the words they find in use 146 III, X | name, makes men forward to take those names for the representatives 147 III, X | information; whilst men take words to be the constant 148 III, X | familiar. Any one almost would take it for an affront to be 149 III, X | description, till he shall either take the names the natives call 150 III, X | will be superfluous here to take notice; the books of rhetoric 151 III, XI | of argument would perhaps take it amiss to have anything 152 III, XI | to it. First, A man shall take care to use no word without 153 III, XI | needless to any one who shall take the pains to recollect how 154 III, XI | stand; but they must also take care to apply their words 155 III, XI | mark is found, which we take to be the most distinguishing 156 III, XI | from bodies. Hence we may take notice, how much the foundation 157 IV, III | unfair way which some men take with themselves: who, because 158 IV, III | with in one opinion, to take refuge in the contrary, 159 IV, III | different colours: but I take liberty also to say, to 160 IV, III | into the dark side, and take a view of our ignorance; 161 IV, IV | states they are in, and so to take them for our necessities, 162 IV, IV | of those discourses which take up the thoughts and engage 163 IV, IV | the idea of that name, or take it such as it is in the 164 IV, IV | One thing more we are to take notice of, That where God 165 IV, IV | human birth must be so. Take away these imaginations, 166 IV, IV | all in the shape, and to take the measure of a man only 167 IV, VI | frame of those animals. Take the air but for a minute 168 IV, VI | of another. Whence we may take notice, that general certainty 169 IV, VII | equal to two”; that “if you take from the five fingers of 170 IV, VII | vacuum. So that whilst men take words for things, as usually 171 IV, VII | he cannot be persuaded to take, nor can ever mistake one 172 IV, VIII | affirmed of itself: which I take to be the proper signification 173 IV, VIII | their truth when he does take notice of them.~But if men 174 IV, IX | Where, by the way, we may take notice, that universal propositions 175 IV, X | This, then, I think I may take for a truth, which every 176 IV, X | that sole foundation: and take some men’s having that idea 177 IV, X | and other men, which they take to be material thinking 178 IV, X | immaterial Being. This, though it take not away the being of a 179 IV, XI | pleasure lay by that idea, and take into my view that of the 180 IV, XII | the understanding was to take its rise, and by which it 181 IV, XII | this maxim, that if you take equals from equals, the 182 IV, XII | be equal, or that if you take equals from equals, the 183 IV, XII | it be yet a safe way to take the principles which are 184 IV, XII | Let any one, with Polemo, take the world; or with the Stoics, 185 IV, XII | pravity, than those who take it for granted that we are 186 IV, XII | substantial beings? Here we are to take a quite contrary course: 187 IV, XII | to it: that we should not take doubtful systems for complete 188 IV, XII | meaning is, that we should not take up any one too hastily ( 189 IV, XII | another. And at least that we take care that the name of principles 190 IV, XII | its parts,” and “if you take equals from equals, the 191 IV, XIII | the will to open, never take the pains to look into.~ 192 IV, XIII | of them, who will never take the pains to employ his 193 IV, XIV | they are at a distance, and take it to be the one or the 194 IV, XV | ones, that which makes him take these ideas to agree, without 195 IV, XVI | regulated: only we are to take notice that, whatever grounds 196 IV, XVI | like case; and we should take it amiss if others should 197 IV, XVI | degrees of it, we are to take notice, that the propositions 198 IV, XVI | it may not be amiss to take notice of a rule observed 199 IV, XVI | from us, our senses cannot take notice of—as, whether there 200 IV, XVII | instead of knowledge, and take propositions for true, without 201 IV, XVII | syllogism. And therefore we may take notice, that there are many 202 IV, XVII | the premises; they only take it to be so by an implicit 203 IV, XVII | I leave this subject, to take notice of one manifest mistake 204 IV, XVII | two sorts, which I shall take the liberty to mention here 205 IV, XVII | is to observe right, and take a true estimate of the force 206 IV, XVII | way, nor that I ought to take the same with him, because 207 IV, XVII | think it may not be amiss to take notice that, however faith 208 IV, XVIII | contradistinguished to faith, I take to be the discovery of the 209 IV, XVIII | doubtful propositions shall take place before self-evident; 210 IV, XIX | that loves it not will not take much pains to get it; nor 211 IV, XIX | creature that would not take it amiss to be thought otherwise 212 IV, XIX | Upon this occasion I shall take the liberty to consider 213 IV, XIX | meant by enthusiasm. This I take to be properly enthusiasm, 214 IV, XIX | and we may as naturally take a glow-worm to assist us 215 IV, XIX | they know to be true, but take to be true. For where a 216 IV, XIX | itself: what I believe, I take to be so upon the testimony 217 IV, XIX | revealer of it, and that what I take to be a revelation is certainly 218 IV, XIX | engaged in errors, which they take for divine truths, shining 219 IV, XIX | which under that title we take for inspired, be conformable 220 IV, XIX | of these rules, we cannot take it for a revelation, or 221 IV, XX | them in the way they should take, if they will but seriously 222 IV, XX | without examination, to take upon trust what they find 223 IV, XX | helps of knowledge; who take great care to appear always 224 IV, XX | do sometimes: nor shall I take notice what a shame and 225 IV, XX | contradict another: but withal I take leave also to say, that 226 IV, XX | with these sacred tenets.
