1 Read | examine our own abilities, and see what objects our understandings 2 Read | or false, will be able to see that what is said is either 3 Int | eye, whilst it makes us see and perceive all other things, 4 Int | examine our own powers, and see to what things they were 5 I, I | without being perceived, I can see no difference there can 6 I, I | to make the understanding see what is originally engraven 7 I, I | both of them, as we shall see hereafter. Reason, therefore, 8 I, I | usually grow together, yet I see not how this any way proves 9 I, I | the whole matter, I cannot see any ground to think these 10 I, II | without remorse. But I cannot see how any men should ever 11 I, II | the sacking of a town, and see what observation or sense 12 I, II | appetite; but let any one see the fault, and the rod by 13 I, II | or all of them, I cannot see how the third, viz. “That 14 I, III | his own finger, when we see that, in the same country, 15 I, III | of God himself. Nor do I see how it derogates more from 16 I, III | procure to ourselves; but we see, on the contrary, that since, 17 I, III | may as rationally hope to see with other men’s eyes, as 18 II, I | upon taking a strict view, see that he has not any idea 19 II, I | understanding, as we shall see hereafter.~6. Observable 20 II, I | attention. And hence we see the reason why it is pretty 21 II, I | sight who can certainly see that I think, when I cannot 22 II, I | that I do not; and yet can see that dogs or elephants do 23 II, I | if we observe children. I see no reason, therefore, to 24 II, VIII | one may truly be said to see darkness. For, supposing 25 II, VIII | reflected, it is certain one may see the figure of it, or it 26 II, VIII | of them; let not the eyes see light or colours, nor the 27 II, VIII | in the sun; yet when we see wax, or a fair face, receive 28 II, IX | the blind man be made to see: quaere, whether by his 29 II, IX | minds, with one glance, see all the parts of a demonstration, 30 II, XI | words, a faculty which we see beasts come short in. And, 31 II, XIII | same body, as that they see colours themselves: nor 32 II, XIII | qualities, that it suffers us to see no one, or feel very few 33 II, XIII | different ideas, I do not see how they could discourse 34 II, XIII | they are compounded; and to see which, amongst its simple 35 II, XIV | succession of others. And we see, that one who fixes his 36 II, XIV | the sun: and in effect we see, that some people in America 37 II, XIV | distances of time. Thus we see that men born blind count 38 II, XIV | same reason, as we shall see in another place.~27. Eternity. 39 II, XIV | measure it by. Hence we see that some men imagine the 40 II, XV | as that of existence, we see in Horace, Epod. xvi. ferro 41 II, XVI | ideas of numbers, let us see all these following figures 42 II, XVII | another parcel of snow you see to-day, and put them together 43 II, XVIII | modification of sound; by which we see that, from the sense of 44 II, XVIII | distilling it again. Thus we see that there are great varieties 45 II, XXI | substances, (as we shall see hereafter,) and I mention 46 II, XXI | is a person he longs to see and speak with; and be there 47 II, XXI | mind when he wills, shall see that the will or power of 48 II, XXI | satisfy him. And thus we see our all-wise Maker, suitably 49 II, XXI | says St. Paul, where we may see what it is that chiefly 50 II, XXI | advantages over poverty; make him see and own, that the handsome 51 II, XXI | other side, let a drunkard see that his health decays, 52 II, XXI | to be moved by,—I do not see how it could ever get loose 53 II, XXI | stedfastly hold the will, yet we see any very great and prevailing 54 II, XXI | here. Nay, they cannot but see that it is more possible 55 II, XXI | that offer. And here we may see how it comes to pass that 56 II, XXI | of these things; let him see that virtue and religion 57 II, XXI | of bliss or misery, and see there God, the righteous 58 II, XXI | wrongly concerning them. To see how far this reaches, and 59 II, XXI | another; and therefore they see nothing in it for which 60 II, XXI | use of them, to search and see, and then judge thereupon. 61 II, XXI | and distract them, as we see, into so different courses 62 II, XXI | that does not presently see to which side, in this case, 63 II, XXI | wherein we can neither see nor say anything of it; 64 II, XXI | v.g. this proposition: I see the moon, or a star, or 65 II, XXII | inquire a little further, to see what it is that occasions 66 II, XXII | change. Hence also we may see the reason, why languages 67 II, XXII | thereby saved, any one will see, who will but take the pains 68 II, XXII | saw, or motions we cannot see; and by enumerating, and 69 II, XXII | before we have done, we shall see that nobody need be afraid 70 II, XXIII | instead of it we should see an admirable texture of 71 II, XXIII | exchange; if he could not see things he was to avoid, 72 II, XXIII | sharp-sighted enough to see the configuration of the 73 II, XXIII | and thereby at a distance see what o’clock it was, their 74 II, XXIII | sorts of objects, as to see when he pleased the figure 75 II, XXIII | complex idea of body, and see whether there be any more 76 II, XXIII | every day observe. Do we not see (will they be ready to say) 77 II, XXIII | the universe, and there see what conceivable hoops, 78 II, XXV | least look beyond it, to see how it stands in conformity 79 II, XXVII | identity and diversity. When we see anything to be in any place 80 II, XXVII | but that any one may hence see what makes an animal and 81 II, XXVII | confident, that, whoever should see a creature of his own shape 82 II, XXVII | he does perceive. When we see, hear, smell, taste, feel, 83 II, XXVII | part of matter. Thus, we see the substance whereof personal 84 II, XXVII | different persons; which, we see, is the sense of mankind 85 II, XXVII | should depend; we might see the absurdity of some of 86 II, XXVIII| law requires. And thus we see how moral beings and notions 87 II, XXVIII| such as may serve to let us see from whence we get our ideas 88 II, XXXI | properties, and demonstratively see how they flow, and are inseparable 89 II, XXXII | denomination: as we shall see, if we examine the particular 90 II, XXXIII| circumstances. And here we see the cause why time cures 91 II, XXXIII| understandings, and makes them not see the falsehood of what they 92 III, III | Alexander. And therefore we see that, amongst jockeys, horses 93 III, III | one may, in this instance, see what gave occasion to the 94 III, IV | any further; as we shall see more at large in the following 95 III, IV | might taste, smell, and see by the ears: a sort of philosophy 96 III, IV | who had the faculty to see Dulcinea by hearsay. And 97 III, IV | of their names, we shall see in the following chapters.~ 98 III, V | murder, incest, stabbing. To see how arbitrarily these essences 99 III, V | without reason, as we shall see more by and by; but this 100 III, V | and communication? Thus we see, that killing a man with 101 III, V | general truth, we shall see hereafter.~15. Why their 102 III, V | for it. Men would often see what a small pittance of 103 III, VI | visible corporeal world, we see no chasms or gaps. All quite 104 III, VI | infinite perfection, as we see they gradually descend from 105 III, VI | that extension moves, and see how ill it will look. He 106 III, VI | must I go to the Indies to see the sire and dam of the 107 III, VI | 278, 430.) This child, we see, was very near being excluded 108 III, VI | general terms, I cannot see how it can be properly said, 109 III, VI | tedious descriptions: which we see they are fain to do who 110 III, VI | something else; and let us see that general terms signify 111 III, VI | been before said, we may see the reason why, in the species 112 III, VI | beats it with flints, to see what was discoverable in 113 III, VIII | one of another. This we see in the common use of language, 114 III, IX | in the other, as we shall see in what follows.~4. The 115 III, IX | of a sound. And hence we see that, in the interpretation 116 III, IX | word gold, and we shall see how hard it is precisely 117 III, IX | and subtilty, as we shall see in the following chapter. 118 III, X | the understanding. For we see that other well-meaning 119 III, X | for one another. But we see that though it be proper 120 III, X | newly-discovered country, shall see several sorts of animals 121 III, XI | any kind, there we shall see that the effect of obscure, 122 III, XI | would presently and clearly see (were that adjusted between 123 III, XI | controversies. When I shall see any of those combatants 124 III, XI | both the other, as we shall see in the names of simple ideas, 125 III, XI | contrary reason, as we shall see by and by.~16. Morality 126 III, XI | render them by,) he could see stamped in the margin small 127 IV, I | than intuitive, as we shall see in the following chapter. ~ 128 IV, II | understanding, and the mind made to see that it is so. A quickness 129 IV, II | eye (that can distinctly see white and black), Whether 130 IV, II | ideas or colours, as we see in different kinds, as blue 131 IV, III | than man can know. For I see no contradiction in it, 132 IV, III | understandings. Other spirits, who see and know the nature and 133 IV, III | enables them at one glance to see the connexion and agreement 134 IV, III | informs us. Thus, though we see the yellow colour, and, 135 IV, III | them, till we are made to see what qualities and powers 136 IV, III | extension: and I cannot see why they should not also 137 IV, III | where we have not eyes to see, nor faculties to perceive 138 IV, III | that that part which we see of either of them holds 139 IV, III | proportion with what we see not; and whatsoever we can 140 IV, III | the effects which we daily see are produced. These are 141 IV, III | will produce; nor when we see those effects can we so 142 IV, IV | spin consequences, and to see religion threatened, whenever 143 IV, VI | for us to determine. We see and perceive some of the 144 IV, VII | reason of their evidence, and see whether it be peculiar to 145 IV, VII | self-evidence. This we shall see, if we go over these several 146 IV, VII | themselves afford it: and we see the truth in them by perceiving 147 IV, VII | immediately to us: and we see the truth of what he says 148 IV, VII | it is advanced—they would see that those general maxims 149 IV, VII | these propositions (as you see) may be equally demonstrated, 150 IV, VII | demonstrate anything, and we shall see, that so far as demonstration 151 IV, VIII | imputation of trifling, I do not see. Let any one repeat, as 152 IV, VIII | that the understanding may see the agreement or disagreement 153 IV, VIII | itself. And I would fain see an instance wherein any 154 IV, VIII | that gold is yellow; and I see not how it is any jot more 155 IV, X | from eternity; let us next see what kind of thing that 156 IV, X | something eternal, let us see what sort of being it must 157 IV, X | little further, we will see what doubts can be raised 158 IV, X | cogitative. But now let us see how they can satisfy themselves, 159 IV, XI | whilst I write this, that I see white and black, and that 160 IV, XI | roses in the winter: but we see nobody gets the relish of 161 IV, XI | upon himself again.~Thus I see, whilst I write this, I 162 IV, XI | I choose afterwards but see them as they are; that is, 163 IV, XI | and to affirm that all we see and hear, feel and taste, 164 IV, XII | experiments, shall be able to see further into the nature 165 IV, XII | explain by our hypothesis, and see whether it will agree to 166 IV, XIII | them by day, cannot but see some objects and perceive 167 IV, XIII | in the light, cannot but see, yet there be certain objects 168 IV, XIII | it. But yet, what he does see, he cannot see otherwise 169 IV, XIII | what he does see, he cannot see otherwise than he does. 170 IV, XIII | depends not on his will to see that black which appears 171 IV, XIII | man sees, he cannot but see; and what he perceives, 172 IV, XV | grounds of probability, and see how they make more or less 173 IV, XV | For example:—~If I myself see a man walk on the ice, it 174 IV, XVI | all the particulars, to see on which side the advantage 175 IV, XVI | nature: wherein, though we see the sensible effects, yet 176 IV, XVI | how they are produced. We see animals are generated, nourished, 177 IV, XVI | and the like effects we see and know: but the causes 178 IV, XVI | great variety of things we see in the world, which are 179 IV, XVII | whereby the mind comes to see, either the certain agreement 180 IV, XVII | considered syllogism, as to see the reason why in three 181 IV, XVII | grounds of syllogisms, as to see that, in above three score 182 IV, XVII | another as true, i.e. to see or suppose such a connexion 183 IV, XVII | here, wherein everyone may see it, and wherein they must 184 IV, XVII | syllogisms, and a man must see the connexion of each intermediate 185 IV, XVII | that are not logicians will see the force of the argumentation, 186 IV, XVII | logicians themselves, they see the connexion of each intermediate 187 IV, XVII | made, or else they do not see it at all. For a syllogism 188 IV, XVII | the syllogism could never see it at all. This, as has 189 IV, XVII | into a syllogism, they must see the connexion that is between 190 IV, XVII | agreement; and when they see that, they see whether the 191 IV, XVII | when they see that, they see whether the inference be 192 IV, XVII | terminus,) does not as plainly see the force and strength of 193 IV, XVII | more readily and plainly see that connexion in the simple 194 IV, XVII | incoherence of the discourse) see the want of connexion in 195 IV, XVII | who would not refuse to see what was visibly shown them.~ 196 IV, XVII | conviction with it, and made men see where the truth lay; and 197 IV, XVII | eyes want spectacles to see things clearly and distinctly; 198 IV, XVII | therefore say nobody can see clearly without them: those 199 IV, XVII | that it cannot without them see consequences or inconsequences 200 IV, XVII | mistakes: (and yet I would fain see the man that was forced 201 IV, XVIII | above reason. And I do not see how they can argue with 202 IV, XVIII | revealed. So that I do not see how those who make revelation 203 IV, XIX | principles of reason. Hence we see that, in all ages, men in 204 IV, XIX | they are above it: they see the light infused into their 205 IV, XIX | nothing to do with what they see and feel in themselves: 206 IV, XIX | it dispels darkness. We see it as we do that of the 207 IV, XIX | say, clear light, and they see; they have awakened sense, 208 IV, XIX | is not the other. What I see, I know to be so, by the 209 IV, XIX | have I of believing? I must see that it is God that reveals 210 IV, XIX | reveals this to me, or else I see nothing. The question then 211 IV, XIX | it out to be so. If they see and know it to be a truth, 212 IV, XIX | believing that it is so. Thus we see the holy men of old, who 213 IV, XX | them. III. Want of will to see them. IV. Wrong measures 214 IV, XX | always be led by those that see, or else fall into the ditch: 215 IV, XX | examine it strictly, and see whether he certainly knows 216 IV, XX | temptation to it. If we could but see the secret motives that
