And therefore this cannot 32 I, III | so as to be universally known and naturally agreed on, 33 I, III | universally received and known amongst mankind.

Without this, whatever 37 I, III | an idea he had formerly known; without which consciousness 38 I, III | is this, that it had been known before, and is now remembered. 39 II, X | them, as with ideas it had known before. So that though ideas 40 II, X | remembrance they are constantly known to be such as have been 41 II, X | is a privilege so little known to most men, that it seems 42 II, XIII | they would do well to make known those distinct ideas, or 43 II, XIV | counted by, are hard to be known, they differing very much 44 II, XIV | duration can be certainly known to be equal. But perhaps 45 II, XIV | other, how could it ever be known that such periods were equal? 46 II, XIV | returning appearances might be known by the same way that that 47 II, XIV | way that that of days was known, or presumed to be so at 48 II, XIV | which we make use of can be known to do so, nor can we be 49 II, XIV | revolutions of the sun, or as known parts of such periods, have 50 II, XIV | length of some periodical known motion, or other interval 51 II, XV | determinate distances from certain known points, fixed in distinguishable 52 II, XV | of things, without such known settled points, would be 53 II, XV | from the rest, by marks and known boundaries, have each of 54 II, XV | always reckoned from some known parts of this sensible world, 55 II, XV | which passed between some known and fixed period of duration, 56 II, XV | by the addition of such known lengths which it is acquainted 57 II, XVII | c., as it pleases, of known lengths of space or duration, 58 II, XIX | any external objects, or known occasion; nor under any 59 II, XX | no otherwise to make them known to us than by making us 60 II, XXI | in pursuit of any other known or apparent good. For since 61 II, XXIII | firmly; he that could make known the cement that makes them 62 II, XXIII | till all be perfectly known that is in them, or can 63 II, XXVIII| very often other supposed known relations; which, if traced 64 II, XXX | them have the names of a known language assigned to them, 65 II, XXX | common received name of any known language assigned to it, 66 II, XXXI | necessary connexion with it be known; as all properties of a 67 II, XXXI | properties that are by divers men known of this metal, there would 68 II, XXXII | since this could never be known, because one man’s mind 69 II, XXXII | things, all that are vulgarly known of any one body, of which 70 II, XXXII | more than can be easily known or enumerated. So I imagine 71 II, XXXII | thing which is no otherwise known to him but by the idea he 72 II, XXXIII| natural, would have been known to be from unheeded, though 73 III, I | whereby they might be made known to others, and the thoughts 74 III, I | give names that might make known to others any operations 75 III, I | borrow words from ordinary known ideas of sensation, by that 76 III, I | then, when they had got known and agreed names to signify 77 III, I | sufficiently furnished to make known by words all their other 78 III, II | made up of, might be made known to others. For this purpose 79 III, II | sounds, as marks, may make known his ideas to the hearer. 80 III, II | learned before the ideas are known for which they stand: therefore 81 III, III | their proper names to be known and distinguished by, as 82 III, III | at least as clearly made known, as when it is defined to 83 III, III | stands for may be certainly known; languages are not always 84 III, III | essences that cannot be known; and the making of them, 85 III, IV | whom it was not already known by its famous absurdity, 86 III, IV | light stands for no more known to a man that understands 87 III, IV | voluntary connexion which is known to be between them and those 88 III, IV | other simple ideas by their known names; which will be still 89 III, IV | impossible by any words to make known its meaning to him. When 90 III, IV | signification of the name is known at once, and consists not 91 III, V | those ideas it would make known to another, it does with 92 III, V | stand for are perfectly known. Because there being no 93 III, VI | distinguished we name, ought to be known; i.e. we ought to have ideas 94 III, VI | upright figure, so well known, to be the essential difference 95 III, VI | being settled and perfectly known, that very material doubts 96 III, VI | specific names, very well known, of sorts of birds common 97 III, VI | specifical, is only to be known to us by their agreement 98 III, VI | what is certainly to be known, and easy enough to be apprehended. 99 III, VI | because it is difficult by known familiar names to do this, 100 III, VI | make our ideas within us known to others, that cannot be 101 III, VI | use having appropriated known names to certain ideas, 102 III, VI | language stand for to their known proper significations, ( 103 III, VI | already), or else to make known that new signification we 104 III, VII | conjunctions, &c., are names well known in grammar, and the particles 105 III, IX | standard is not easy to be known.~Fourthly, Where the signification 106 III, IX | signifies can never be known from things themselves: 107 III, IX | us, that either cannot be known at all, or can be known 108 III, IX | known at all, or can be known but imperfectly and uncertainly.~ 109 III, IX | essences that cannot be known. The names of substances 110 III, IX | standards that cannot be known, their significations can 111 III, IX | co-existing qualities, which are known but imperfectly. Secondly, 112 III, IX | collected, and completely known, by the ways of inquiry 113 III, IX | co-existing qualities which are known but imperfectly. Besides, 114 III, IX | and figure in things of known seminal propagation, and 115 III, IX | use, is not so certainly known. And however we are apt 116 III, X | of my ideas, to make them known to others, not by any natural 117 III, X | alter the signification of known characters, and, by a subtle 118 III, X | nominal essences are only known to us when we put them into 119 III, X | such a specific essence known? Which yet is utterly false. 120 III, X | accompany the use of so known a word as that of life is. 121 III, X | these three: First, to make known one man’s thoughts or ideas 122 III, X | he could therefore make known to others only by showing 123 III, X | therefore forced to make known by an enumeration of the 124 III, X | are such as are familiarly known, and easily enter the ears 125 III, X | hearers, they cannot make known the thoughts of him who 126 III, XI | sorts, so the way of making known the ideas they stand for, 127 III, XI | thought the proper way to make known the proper signification 128 III, XI | precise meaning cannot be made known but by definition: and perhaps 129 III, XI | declare his meaning, and make known what idea he makes it stand 130 III, XI | only sure way of making known the signification of the 131 III, XI | their names cannot be made known, as those of simple ideas, 132 III, XI | of each species is to be known, they being not of nature’ 133 III, XI | stand for may be perfectly known, and so the congruity and 134 III, XI | meaning of moral words can be known; and yet a way whereby their 135 III, XI | whereby their meaning may be known certainly, and without leaving 136 III, XI | mixed modes can be made known. Another reason that makes 137 III, XI | the most of them can be known with certainty. For the 138 III, XI | united, that we can make known to others what their names 139 III, XI | And can hardly be made known otherwise. Now these leading 140 III, XI | qualities are best made known by showing, and can hardly 141 III, XI | and can hardly be made known otherwise. For the shape 142 III, XI | powers of substances are best known by definition. But because 143 III, XI | signification will be better made known by enumerating those simple 144 III, XI | they stand for perfectly known; and that it is a shame 145 III, XI | standing for things which are known and distinguished by their 146 IV, I | ideas must eternally be known not to be the same, and 147 IV, I | by which it was at first known is forgot, though a man 148 IV, III | assistance of our senses to make known to us what qualities they 149 IV, III | co-existence can be no further known than it is perceived; and 150 IV, III | precise significations are known, and by marks that last, 151 IV, III | conceive capable of being known to us. Bulk, figure, and 152 IV, III | the vast distance of the known and visible parts of the 153 IV, III | is universal. For what is known of such general ideas, will 154 IV, III | found: and what is once known of such ideas, will be perpetually 155 IV, III | existence of things is to be known only from experience. But 156 IV, IV | sorts of things than what known names had already determined, 157 IV, IV | suffice us, that He hath made known to all those who are capable 158 IV, VI | can never be well made known, and is very seldom apprehended, 159 IV, VI | proposition can be certainly known to be true, where the real 160 IV, VI | species mentioned is not known. Now, because we cannot 161 IV, VI | concerning substances is to be known. On the other side, the 162 IV, VI | substances can in few cases be known. The complex ideas that 163 IV, VI | and heavier than any other known;—in this proper use of the 164 IV, VI | such co-existence can be known, so far universal propositions 165 IV, VI | coexist, can certainly be known; unless in those of the 166 IV, VI | utterly impossible to be known by us without revelation. 167 IV, VII | not different, are truths known in more particular instances, 168 IV, VII | those general maxims; and known also in particular instances, 169 IV, VII | general proposition can be known with a greater certainty, 170 IV, VII | those truths that are first known to the mind; and, secondly, 171 IV, VII | are not the truths first known to the mind is evident to 172 IV, VII | understands; and every idea being known to be what it is, and every 173 IV, VII | two distinct ideas being known not to be the same; it must 174 IV, VII | self-evident truths must be first known which consist of ideas that 175 IV, VII | two are six? Which being known without any proof, do evince, 176 IV, VII | them, that they are all known by their native evidence; 177 IV, VII | maxims, and so the truth known before the maxim is produced, 178 IV, VII | as clearly and certainly known in itself, if attended to, 179 IV, VII | ideas are [determined] and known by the names that stand 180 IV, VII | have annexed to them by us known and steady names under those 181 IV, VIII | verbal propositions may be known by these following marks:~ 182 IV, VIII | any word stands for is not known and considered, and something 183 IV, IX | abstract natures, have no known necessary union or repugnancy.~ 184 IV, XI | God, reason clearly makes known to us, as has been shown.~ 185 IV, XI | existence of other things is known by memory. As when our senses 186 IV, XI | it is no more certainly known to me that the water doth 187 IV, XI | of God, can certainly be known further than our senses 188 IV, XI | general propositions that are known to be true concern abstract 189 IV, XII | elsewhere said, which is known first and clearest by most 190 IV, XII | is the clearer and first known, I leave to any one to determine, 191 IV, XII | So that he who first made known the use of that contemptible 192 IV, XVI | ages, as far as it can be known, concurs with a man’s constant 193 IV, XVII | inference.~And thus I have known a man unskilful in syllogism, 194 IV, XVII | use, which were as well known in his days, can be none 195 IV, XVII | reasoning, but they are known by a superior and higher 196 IV, XVII | concessions. This is already known under the name of argumentum 197 IV, XIX | For where a proposition is known to be true, revelation is 198 IV, XIX | deceived. But how shall it be known that any proposition in 199 IV, XIX | reason, or else makes it known to be a truth which he would
