I have made choice 5 Int | I think, serves best to stand for whatsoever is the object 6 I, I | their way of arguing will stand thus, viz. that whatever 7 I, I | nor learn the names that stand for them, till, having for 8 I, I | distinct ideas that these names stand for.

And 25 II, XIII | precisely what our words stand for, would, I imagine, in 26 II, XIV | train, the thing seems to stand still; as is evident in 27 II, XVI | mathematics, had no words in it to stand for 1000; so that when they 28 II, XVI | every one of them, as they stand marked in their order; for 29 II, XVIII | And thence the words that stand for them, by the greatest 30 II, XVIII | ideas which these words stand for, and having given names 31 II, XXI | suspect it has been) to stand for some real beings in 32 II, XXI | moves; but because he can stand still if he wills it.

For, consisting 35 II, XXII | ideas which these words stand for; without ever seeing 36 II, XXII | the particular names that stand for them, than to trouble 37 II, XXII | either reprieve or appeal stand for; and instead of either 38 II, XXII | by use got the names that stand for them, we can by those 39 II, XXII | otherwise than the ideas they stand for are in the mind of the 40 II, XXV | ideas which relative words stand for are often clearer and 41 II, XXVI | ordinarily are thought to stand for positive ideas, which 42 II, XXVI | 6.

So likewise 43 II, XXVI | words, in ordinary speech, stand only for relations (and 44 II, XXVII | person, and the same man, stand for one and the same thing. 45 II, XXVII | easily here supposed to stand also for the same person. 46 II, XXVIII| and supposed everywhere to stand for actions in their own 47 II, XXIX | different names are supposed to stand for different things.

But in this men stand not usually to examine, 70 III, II | often suppose the words to stand also for the reality of 71 III, II | into whenever we make them stand for anything but those ideas 72 III, II | sounds and the ideas they stand for, that the names heard, 73 III, II | are known for which they stand: therefore some, not only 74 III, II | a liberty to make words stand for what ideas he pleases, 75 III, II | hearer which he makes them stand for in speaking, he does 76 III, III | natures they are supposed to stand for? Words become general 77 III, III | such universal terms, which stand for any of our ideas whatsoever. 78 III, III | essence; and the names that stand for such distinct ideas 79 III, III | supposing those names to stand for complex abstract ideas 80 III, IV | the ideas they are made to stand for by him that uses them, 81 III, IV | terms of the definition stand for any such simple ideas, 82 III, IV | that those of mixed modes stand for ideas perfectly arbitrary; 83 III, V | Relations ~1. Mixed modes stand for abstract ideas, as other 84 III, V | modes, being general, they stand, as has been shewed, for 85 III, V | The abstract ideas they stand for are made by the understanding. 86 III, V | 14. Names of mixed modes stand always for their real essences, 87 III, V | got before the ideas they stand for are perfectly known. 88 III, VI | common names of substances stand for sorts. The common names 89 III, VI | as other general terms, stand for sorts: which is nothing 90 III, VI | what sort of essences they stand for.~8. The nature of species, 91 III, VI | that each of those names stand for, in the countries where 92 III, VI | real essences of things stand us not in stead for the 93 III, VI | coined. For, if it should stand here, in its ordinary signification, 94 III, VI | essential differences.~21. But stand for such a collection of 95 III, VI | as we have made the name stand for. But since, as has been 96 III, VI | life, if the ideas they stand for be not some way answering 97 III, VI | may then use that word to stand in discourse for all my 98 III, VI | name of it is supposed to stand for no other idea, nor to 99 III, VI | words jealousy and adultery stand for in another man’s mind, 100 III, VI | intends the name should stand for an idea so conformable.~ 101 III, VI | Adam made the name zahab stand for was nothing but a body 102 III, VI | their name of the species stand for that. But they, not 103 III, VI | vulgar words of any language stand for to their known proper 104 III, IX | by the sort of ideas they stand for. The chief end of language 105 III, IX | cause more in the ideas they stand for than in any incapacity 106 III, IX | difference of ideas they stand for.~5. Natural causes of 107 III, IX | especially in those that stand for mixed modes, and for 108 III, IX | where,~First, The ideas they stand for are very complex, and 109 III, IX | Secondly, Where the ideas they stand for have no certain connexion 110 III, IX | because the ideas they stand for are so complex. First, 111 III, IX | exactly the same idea they stand for in the mind of the speaker. 112 III, IX | make the name in common use stand for the same precise idea, 113 III, IX | fit those ideas he made it stand for; and as it is with any 114 III, IX | Names, therefore, that stand for collections of ideas 115 III, IX | one another, do not always stand for the same idea in speaker 116 III, IX | simple ideas or substances stand for, people ordinarily show 117 III, IX | what complex ideas they stand for, they are either beholden 118 III, IX | inconvenience to have them stand for complex ideas different 119 III, IX | ideas which they make them stand for, and so all the contests 120 III, IX | because the ideas they stand for relate to the reality 121 III, IX | because the ideas they stand for are supposed conformable 122 III, IX | to be signs of them, and stand for them. Here, it is true, 123 III, IX | meaning, if the ideas they stand for be referred to standards 124 III, IX | Sometimes they are made to stand for, and so their signification 125 III, IX | any sound that is put to stand for it must be very uncertain 126 III, IX | the specific name is to stand for, men, though they propose 127 III, IX | think all agree to make it stand for a body of a certain 128 III, IX | Because the ideas they stand for, being each but one 129 III, IX | ideas modesty or frugality stand for, in another’s use, is 130 III, IX | speaker and hearer, they stand for exactly the same collection. 131 III, X | appropriated use, not to stand for any clear and distinct 132 III, X | are the precise ideas they stand for. I shall not need here 133 III, X | them, they would be at a stand, and not know what to answer: 134 III, X | things they were thought to stand for, they usually continue 135 III, X | seem ignorant what they stand for, use them confidently, 136 III, X | abuse, when I make them stand sometimes for one thing 137 III, X | the characters of numbers stand sometimes for one and sometimes 138 III, X | v.g. this character 3, stand sometimes for three, sometimes 139 III, X | reasoning make the same words stand for different collections 140 III, X | extension in common use, stand for two distinct ideas, 141 III, X | letters of the alphabet stand for. These learned men did 142 III, X | which is a word agreed on to stand for one sensible idea, to 143 III, X | a character agreed on to stand for one modification of 144 III, X | B, which is agreed on to stand for another modification 145 III, X | other; yet matter and body stand for two different conceptions, 146 III, X | ideas they make their words stand for, there could not be 147 III, X | suppose or intend, they should stand for the real essence of 148 III, X | name man in this case to stand for the real essence of 149 III, X | word anthropos, or man, stand for his complex idea, made 150 III, X | or man, were supposed to stand for something else than 151 III, X | a secret supposition, to stand for a thing having that 152 III, X | supposes each of those names to stand for a thing having the real 153 III, X | when we would make them stand for something, which, not 154 III, X | it be to make our names stand for ideas we have not, or ( 155 III, X | supposes his name man to stand for. In which way of using 156 III, X | names as would make them stand for ideas which we have 157 III, X | unsteadily, making them stand, now for one, and by and 158 III, X | men’s words fail when they stand for substances. In our notions 159 III, X | things.~33. How when they stand for modes and relations. 160 III, XI | hearer, for which the words stand, the argument is not about 161 III, XI | these names are supposed to stand. And then it is a real inquiry 162 III, XI | ideas they do or should stand for, those disputes would 163 III, XI | idea for which he makes it stand. This rule will not seem 164 III, XI | for which they make them stand; which is necessary they 165 III, XI | do not say, a man needs stand to recollect, and make this 166 III, XI | conformable ideas in words that stand for substances. In the names 167 III, XI | which they make these signs stand; but they must also take 168 III, XI | certainly what they precisely stand for: and because men in 169 III, XI | As the ideas men’s words stand for are of different sorts, 170 III, XI | making known the ideas they stand for, when there is occasion, 171 III, XI | known what idea he makes it stand for. This, as has been shown, 172 III, XI | there is occasion, what they stand for. This, if well considered, 173 III, XI | of the things moral words stand for may be perfectly known, 174 III, XI | certainty. For the ideas they stand for, being for the most 175 III, XI | others what their names stand for; the assistance of the 176 III, XI | which our names of this kind stand for, as it does often in 177 III, XI | names of substances, as they stand for the ideas we have of 178 III, XI | yet, used as a mark to stand for a sort of creatures 179 III, XI | names of substances as they stand for our ideas, yet they 180 III, XI | great imperfection as they stand for things. For our names 181 III, XI | intended their names should stand for such collections of 182 III, XI | ordinary acceptation they stand for, therefore, to define 183 III, XI | that we make such a name stand for. This is the more necessary 184 III, XI | and the precise ideas they stand for perfectly known; and 185 IV, III | substances, flame and gold, stand for. When we would know 186 IV, III | same, yet the ideas they stand for may change in the same 187 IV, III | collection of simple ideas they stand for not being so easily 188 IV, III | which every term shall stand for: and then using the 189 IV, IV | two names, man and beast, stand for distinct species so 190 IV, IV | To their own master they stand or fall. It will make their 191 IV, IV | longer, and then you are at a stand: add still more and more 192 IV, V | because the ideas these names stand for, being for the most 193 IV, V | ideas: we making the name stand for the real essence, of 194 IV, V | as the things which they stand for agree or disagree.~6. 195 IV, V | they or the things they stand for do agree or not, that 196 IV, V | another, as the ideas they stand for agree or disagree: and 197 IV, V | propositions, as the ideas they stand for agree or disagree in 198 IV, V | be only verbal, when they stand for ideas in the mind that 199 IV, V | disagreement of the ideas they stand for; without regarding whether 200 IV, V | knowing what ideas the words stand for, and the perception 201 IV, VI | disagreement of the ideas they stand for, as really it is. Certainty 202 IV, VI | of the species its terms stand for, it is necessary we 203 IV, VI | the mind of the speaker, stand for we know not what; and 204 IV, VI | then, whenever made to stand for species which are supposed 205 IV, VI | because the complex ideas they stand for are such combinations 206 IV, VI | species of substances properly stand for, are collections of 207 IV, VI | supposes the term gold to stand for a species of things 208 IV, VI | gold. But if he makes gold stand for a species determined 209 IV, VI | which their specific names stand, whenever they have any 210 IV, VI | which their general names stand, not comprehending their 211 IV, VI | when the terms used in them stand for such ideas, whose agreement 212 IV, VI | perceive the ideas the terms stand for to agree or not agree, 213 IV, VII | terms in the proposition stand for. And, therefore, whenever 214 IV, VII | that could not be shown to stand as firm without any consideration 215 IV, VII | whilst I use them all to stand for one and the same idea, 216 IV, VII | known by the names that stand for them: yet when these 217 IV, VII | things, though the ideas they stand for are in truth different, 218 IV, VII | propositions, wherein the terms stand for undetermined ideas) 219 IV, VIII | in effect, who makes them stand for his own ideas), and 220 IV, XI | much as I will) if my hands stand still; or though I move 221 IV, XI | beforehand design they shall stand for, there will be little 222 IV, XI | names being supposed to stand perpetually for the same 223 IV, XIV | his life, perfectly at a stand, had he nothing to guide 224 IV, XVI | of one only witness must stand or fall by his only testimony, 225 IV, XVII | or can perceive as they stand there in that juxta-position 226 IV, XVII | about words which do not stand for any ideas, it is only 227 IV, XVII | Our reason is often at a stand because it perceives not 228 IV, XVII | impudence in any one who shall stand out against them. This I 229 IV, XVIII | considerate man cannot but stand amazed at their follies, 230 IV, XIX | revealed it. Does it not, then, stand them upon to examine upon 231 IV, XX | impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, and keep out the enemy, 232 IV, XX | them can be one jot at a stand which side to take, nor
