This is enough 13 I, II | what is in its own nature right and good—then this proposition, “ 14 I, II | to be the only masters of right reason, cast by the votes 15 I, II | innate; those that men of right reason admit, are the principles 16 I, II | not to know which is the right. But concerning innate principles, 17 I, II | of truth and falsehood, right and wrong; which some, wanting 18 I, III | and attention to form them right in our understandings. They 19 I, III | the discovery had made a right use of their reason, thought 20 I, III | show, that a man, by the right use of his natural abilities, 21 I, III | thought and meditation, and a right use of their faculties: 22 I, III | considerate men of the world, by a right and careful employment of 23 I, III | triangle are quite equal to two right ones is a truth as certain 24 I, III | triangle are equal to two right ones, takes it upon trust, 25 I, III | knowledge depends upon the right use of those powers nature 26 II, VII | fullness of joy, and at whose right hand are pleasures for evermore.~ 27 II, X | in them to hit the notes right, put it past doubt with 28 II, XI | err as men do that argue right from wrong principles.

Thus 30 II, XI | fancying himself a king, with a right inference require suitable 31 II, XI | is very sober, and of a right understanding in all other 32 II, XI | propositions, but argue and reason right from them; but idiots make 33 II, XI | observation whether I am in the right: the best way to come to 34 II, XIII | Bodley’s library: but the right designation of the place 35 II, XIV | comprehension, yet if we trace them right to their originals, I doubt 36 II, XIV | measure motion so as to judge right of it.

So that to reckon right, it is required, (1) That 40 II, XXI | from the not using of it right comes all that variety of 41 II, XXI | of liberty.

Upon the whole, 72 II, XXXII | may very fitly be called right or wrong ideas, according 73 II, XXXII | ideas are in themselves right, and the knowledge about 74 II, XXXII | the knowledge about them right and true knowledge; but 75 II, XXXIII| which reason, though in the right, and allowed to be so, has 76 III, I | better come to find the right use of words; the natural 77 III, III | being that which gives a right to that name; the having 78 III, III | any species, and to have a right to the name of that species, 79 III, III | species man, and to have right to the name man, is the 80 III, III | can be a man, or have a right to the name man, but what 81 III, III | anything be a man, or have a right to the species man, but 82 III, III | to be gold, or gives it a right to that name, which is therefore 83 III, III | with have or have not a right to the name circle, and 84 III, V | of adultery or incest be right, will a man seek it anywhere 85 III, V | done. To understand this right, we must consider wherein 86 III, V | notions; as, by a peculiar right, appertaining to the understanding.~ 87 III, VI | distinct species is in the right. But if an Englishman bred 88 III, VI | generation, and has alone a right to the specific name. But 89 III, VI | qualities, one has as good a right to be put into the complex 90 III, VII | coherent discourse.~2. In right use of particles consists 91 III, VII | particles: and it is in the right use of these that more particularly 92 III, VII | yet he who would show the right use of particles, and what 93 III, IX | understood, wherein consists the right use and perfection of language.~ 94 III, IX | and having all an equal right to go into the complex specific 95 III, IX | nature, every one has a right to put into his complex 96 III, IX | these has established the right signification of the word, 97 III, IX | reason thinks he has the same right to put into his complex 98 III, IX | differently upon it. For by what right is it that fusibility comes 99 III, X | discourses they seldom are in the right, so they are as seldom to 100 III, X | discourse, according to the right construction of grammatical 101 III, XI | names of substances, for a right use of them, something more 102 III, XI | therefore, to define their names right, natural history is to be 103 IV, I | triangle are equal to two right ones, what do we more but 104 IV, I | perceive, that equality to two right ones does necessarily agree 105 IV, I | hesitation, embraces the right side, assents to, and is 106 IV, I | triangle are equal to two right ones, is certain that he 107 IV, I | triangle are equal to two right ones,” one who has seen 108 IV, I | triangle are equal to two right ones. The immutability of 109 IV, I | triangle were once equal to two right ones, they will always be 110 IV, I | will always be equal to two right ones. And hence he comes 111 IV, II | angles of a triangle and two right ones, cannot by an immediate 112 IV, II | finding those equal to two right ones. comes to know their 113 IV, II | know their equality to two right ones.~3. Demonstration depends 114 IV, II | other,) and to apply them right, is, I suppose, that which 115 IV, II | and of equality to two right ones, as any mathematician 116 IV, III | mathematics, the measures of right and wrong might be made 117 IV, III | idea of property being a right to anything, and the idea 118 IV, III | invasion or violation of that right, it is evident that these 119 IV, III | three angles equal to two right ones. Again: “No government 120 IV, III | equality of its angles to two right ones. Nor can we conceive 121 IV, IV | angles are equal to two right ones? It is true also of 122 IV, IV | or a trapezium with four right angles: that is, in plain 123 IV, IV | angles, whereof one is a right one, and call it, if he 124 IV, V | it from falsehood.~2. A right joining or separating of 125 IV, V | and faith, of power and right, of obstructions and humours, 126 IV, VI | triangles are all equal to two right ones.~11. The qualities 127 IV, VI | laid together, often guess right at what experience has not 128 IV, VII | belongs by any peculiar right. The perception of being, 129 IV, VIII | doubt have said, “Oyster in right hand is subject, and oyster 130 IV, VIII | obligation is obligation”; “right is right,” and “wrong is 131 IV, VIII | is obligation”; “right is right,” and “wrong is wrong”:— 132 IV, VIII | ever will know, what is right and what is wrong, nor the 133 IV, VIII | may undoubtedly reckon right, and cast up a great sum, 134 IV, X | than it can be equal to two right angles. If a man knows not 135 IV, X | cannot be equal to two right angles, it is impossible 136 IV, X | three angles bigger than two right ones. For it is as repugnant 137 IV, X | greater angles than two right ones.~6. And therefore God. 138 IV, X | alter it. For example: my right hand writes, whilst my left 139 IV, X | thought only changing, the right hand rests, and the left 140 IV, XI | faculties act and inform us right concerning the existence 141 IV, XII | down as a principle, that right and wrong, honest and dishonest, 142 IV, XII | and I doubt not but, if a right method were taken, a great 143 IV, XII | made public the virture and right use of kin kina, did more 144 IV, XII | general propositions) are the right methods of improving our 145 IV, XII | perfect exact idea of a right angle, a scalenum, or trapezium, 146 IV, XIII | angles are equal to two right ones; and can as little 147 IV, XIV | reality things are, it is right judgment. ~ 148 IV, XV | show their equality to two right ones; and so, by an intuitive 149 IV, XV | angles in equality to two right ones: and thus he has certain 150 IV, XV | triangle to be equal to two right ones, assents to it, i.e. 151 IV, XV | triangle are equal to two right ones, that which makes him 152 IV, XVI | and endeavours to judge right, than they appear; at least, 153 IV, XVI | that think they have formed right judgments of several matters; 154 IV, XVI | themselves to have judged right, only because they never 155 IV, XVI | indeed to think they judged right, because they never judged 156 IV, XVI | side or the other.~4. The right use of it, mutual charity 157 IV, XVI | should thunder on a man’s right or left hand, &c., when 158 IV, XVI | are required, to form a right judgment, and to proportion 159 IV, XVI | allowable in the decisions of right and wrong, carries this 160 IV, XVI | and that we understand it right: else we shall expose ourselves 161 IV, XVII | and the fourth, a making a right conclusion. These several 162 IV, XVII | does certainly conclude right, and which not, and upon 163 IV, XVII | conclusion will be certainly right, but in another not certainly 164 IV, XVII | and figures do conclude right, without knowing certainly 165 IV, XVII | sure that the conclusion is right; and upon what grounds it 166 IV, XVII | ideas, and can range them right, without any such perplexing 167 IV, XVII | I readily own, that all right reasoning may be reduced 168 IV, XVII | has made this inference right or no: if it has made it 169 IV, XVII | proceeded rationally, and made a right inference: if it has done 170 IV, XVII | hold, or an inference of right reason, as shown a willingness 171 IV, XVII | whether they are made in right and conclusive modes and 172 IV, XVII | there might be added the right helps of true art and learning, ( 173 IV, XVII | discovered here any of those “right helps of art,” this great 174 IV, XVII | their own thoughts for those right helps of art, which will 175 IV, XVII | syllogistical reasoning can be right and conclusive, but what 176 IV, XVII | the judgment is to observe right, and take a true estimate 177 IV, XVII | then casting them up all right together, choose that side 178 IV, XVII | another man’s opinion to be right, because I, out of respect, 179 IV, XVII | another man to be in the right way, nor that I ought to 180 IV, XVII | that another man is in the right way because he has shown 181 IV, XVII | lights on truth, is in the right but by chance; and I know 182 IV, XVII | For he governs his assent right, and places it as he should, 183 IV, XVIII | triangle were equal to two right ones, I might assent to 184 IV, XVIII | measuring my own ideas of two right angles, and the three angles 185 IV, XVIII | secondly, that we understand it right; can never be so great as 186 IV, XVIII | dictates of reason, has a right to he urged or assented 187 IV, XVIII | and interest, and hath a right to be received with full 188 IV, XIX | and their persuasions are right, because they are strong 189 IV, XIX | be true, any action to be right, only because we believe 190 IV, XIX | confidence of being in the right is made an argument of truth. 191 IV, XIX | more sure, nor more in the right (if their own belief may 192 IV, XIX | conformable to the dictates of right reason or holy writ, we 193 IV, XX | by a true hypothesis, or right principles, but not rightly 194 IV, XX | choosing or refusing the right side, and the mind sets 195 IV, XX | thinks that he is in the right way, wherever he has the 196 IV, XX | I must do mankind that right as to say, There are not 197 IV, XXI | Praktike, The skill of right applying our own powers 198 IV, XXI | knowledge of truth; but right, and a conduct suitable 199 IV, XXI | one and the other, and the right ordering of them, for its 200 IV, XXI | order to happiness; and the right use of signs in order to
