1 I, I | the reasons that made me doubt of the truth of that opinion, 2 I, I | received, that it will no doubt be thought strange if any 3 I, I | one reason that made me doubt of those innate principles.~ 4 I, I | and leave us in no more doubt of their being there, than 5 I, I | natural inscription, as I doubt not but to make appear in 6 I, II | title to be innate; and the doubt of their being native impressions 7 I, II | universally received, without doubt or question, as it must 8 I, II | Another reason that makes me doubt of any innate practical 9 I, II | which a man can by no means doubt of. So that the truth of 10 I, II | To which I answer, that I doubt not but, without being written 11 I, II | deny or inconsideration to doubt of. If any can be thought 12 I, II | is his duty. Ignorance or doubt of the law, hopes to escape 13 I, II | There could be no more doubt about their number than 14 I, II | they cannot blame those who doubt of these innate principles; 15 I, II | nay whole nations, who doubt or disbelieve some or all 16 I, II | than suffer themselves to doubt, or others to question, 17 I, II | then I may with modesty doubt; since I fear universal 18 I, II | been said, I think it past doubt, that there are no practical 19 I, III | worshipped, is, without doubt, as great a truth as any 20 I, III | knowledge of God. It will, I doubt not, be a surprise to others, 21 I, III | also the idea of fire. I doubt not but if a colony of young 22 I, III | leave them in the dark and doubt in so grand a concernment; 23 I, III | conformable to it. This, no doubt, every one will think better 24 I, III | end of such a being; and I doubt not but to show, that a 25 I, III | them; though yet it be past doubt that there are many men, 26 I, III | is another reason why I doubt that neither these nor any 27 I, III | of the reasons I had to doubt of innate principles. And 28 I, III | for granted; and then, I doubt not, but I can demonstrate 29 II, I | that are there, it is past doubt that men have in their minds 30 II, I | it were worth while, no doubt a child might be so ordered 31 II, I | sufficiently proved, and past doubt, that my watch thought all 32 II, IX | none innate. Therefore I doubt not but children, by the 33 II, X | possibility of this. For who can doubt but God may communicate 34 II, X | notes right, put it past doubt with me, that they have 35 II, XI | ways of faultering would no doubt discover. For those who 36 II, XIII | space, they could have no doubt about the plenitude of the 37 II, XIII | them; then unity is without doubt the essence of everything. 38 II, XIV | right to their originals, I doubt not but one of those sources 39 II, XIV | have no distance. And so I doubt not it would be to a waking 40 II, XIV | suppose the contrary; and I doubt not, but that every one 41 II, XV | reason why any one should doubt that He likewise fills immensity. 42 II, XV | finite, we are apter to doubt of the existence of expansion 43 II, XVI | who were present. And I doubt not but we ourselves might 44 II, XVII | capacities: they do, without doubt, contain in them all possible 45 II, XVII | reaches, so far no one can doubt of extension; and when we 46 II, XVII | as he can increase it, I doubt he himself will think the 47 II, XVII | be measured by it. And I doubt not but that a man may have 48 II, XVII | space, because it is past doubt that God has existed from 49 II, XXI | voluntary? I think nobody will doubt it: and yet, being locked 50 II, XXI | before us, nobody would be in doubt which to choose: were the 51 II, XXI | happiness, that is past doubt: but, as has been already 52 II, XXI | which nobody can make any doubt of. He that will allow exquisite 53 II, XXIII | motion discover it: and I doubt not, but there are a thousand 54 II, XXIII | sensible qualities depend, I doubt not but they would produce 55 II, XXIII | be different. So that I doubt, whether he and the rest 56 II, XXIII | motion depends, would no doubt discover something very 57 II, XXIII | no advantage. God has no doubt made them so as is best 58 II, XXIII | extravagant soever it be, I doubt whether we can imagine anything 59 II, XXIII | anything more common? And what doubt can there be made of it? 60 II, XXIII | matter be considered, as no doubt it is, finite, let any one 61 II, XXIII | thought; this we cannot doubt of. Experience, I say, every 62 II, XXIII | no more reason to deny or doubt the existence of such spirits, 63 II, XXIII | than we have to deny or doubt the existence of body; because 64 II, XXV | notice of. Concubine is, no doubt, a relative name, as well 65 II, XXV | thence, and leave it past doubt that the notions we have 66 II, XXVII | identity there can be no doubt.~Secondly, Finite spirits 67 II, XXVII | observation puts it past doubt, that the idea in our minds, 68 II, XXVII | think they had reason to doubt of, if these perceptions, 69 II, XXVII | write now, I could no more doubt that I who write this now, 70 II, XXVII | different times, it is past doubt the same man would at different 71 II, XXVII | and there can arise no doubt about it.~29.

He will, I doubt not, be able to distinguish 73 II, XXXI | sort in particular, can doubt that this, called gold, 74 II, XXXIII| against, yet I am apt to doubt, that those which relate 75 III, I | angel, a messenger: and I doubt not but, if we could trace 76 III, III | discourses with them. And I doubt not but, if we had reason 77 III, III | faculty of reasoning, I doubt not but the meaning of the 78 III, III | of things; and it is past doubt there must be some real 79 III, V | the existence. Nobody can doubt but that these ideas of 80 III, V | species ever existed. Who can doubt but the ideas of sacrilege 81 III, V | really exist. And we cannot doubt but law-makers have often 82 III, V | quite lost, we might, no doubt, have had descriptions of 83 III, VI | distinct species of things, I doubt not but I should be answered 84 III, VI | always give us reason to doubt of one or both of these.~ 85 III, VI | a man or no, it is past doubt one should meet with different 86 III, VI | great ignorance to make any doubt about it. And yet I think 87 III, VI | once with his master, I doubt yet whether any one would 88 III, VI | malleableness, it would no doubt be made a question whether 89 III, VI | nominal essence.

Nobody will doubt that the wheels or springs ( 91 III, VI | distinguished, with less doubt, obscurity, and equivocation 92 III, VI | different men: since they cannot doubt but different men may have 93 III, VII | touched here. To these, I doubt not, might be added a great 94 III, VII | which if one should do, I doubt whether in all those manners 95 III, VIII | for such ideas: which no doubt they would have had, had 96 III, IX | simple ideas, least liable to doubt and uncertainty; especially 97 III, IX | speaker, without any manner of doubt and uncertainty to the hearer. 98 III, IX | should be liable to that doubt and uncertainty which unavoidably 99 III, IX | themselves to search) either doubt of the being of a God, or 100 III, X | generally received anywhere, no doubt those terms would make impressions 101 III, X | under that precision, has no doubt produced those obscure and 102 III, X | different qualities can hardly doubt, that many of the individuals, 103 III, X | qualities depend, is past doubt: but I think it has been 104 III, X | delivered, as if it were past doubt that, in the use of those 105 III, X | great reputation: and I doubt not but it will be thought 106 III, XI | will find some reason to doubt whether language, as it 107 III, XI | would be extremely absurd to doubt of. But the question is, ( 108 III, XI | and so there could be no doubt whether a bat were a bird 109 III, XI | general ideas, he would no doubt be subject to law, and in 110 III, XI | either of them. And so no doubt he would have of strigil 111 IV, I | if there ever happen any doubt about it, it will always 112 IV, I | reflected on, he, without doubt or hesitation, embraces 113 IV, I | the mind is assured past doubt as often as it has occasion 114 IV, I | knows it, because he cannot doubt the truth of it. In his 115 IV, II | no room for hesitation, doubt, or examination, but the 116 IV, II | demonstrated conclusion not without doubt, precedent to the demonstration. 117 IV, II | though in the latter all doubt be removed when, by the 118 IV, II | demonstration there was a doubt; which in intuitive knowledge 119 IV, II | no more than it can be a doubt to the eye (that can distinctly 120 IV, III | branch of our knowledge; I doubt as to these, whether our 121 IV, III | very small degree: and I doubt whether, with those faculties 122 IV, III | demonstration: wherein I doubt not but from self-evident 123 IV, III | desire to know about them. I doubt not but if we could discover 124 IV, III | And therefore I am apt to doubt that, how far soever human 125 IV, IV | unreal or chimerical.” I doubt not but my reader, by this 126 IV, IV | mathematical knowledge. I doubt not but it will be easily 127 IV, IV | charged with: and without doubt it will be asked, If changelings 128 IV, IV | appear not: this is past doubt, say you: make the ears 129 IV, V | be apt to occur the same doubt about truth, that did about 130 IV, V | here, in answer to this doubt, to distinguish real truth 131 IV, VI | species, there can be no doubt how far the species extends, 132 IV, VI | each species, nor can be in doubt, on this account, whether 133 IV, VI | know is true. It will, no doubt, be presently objected, 134 IV, VII | perceives,) he can never be in doubt when any idea is in his 135 IV, VII | without any possibility of doubt, uncertainty, or hesitation, 136 IV, VII | that the mind can no more doubt of, as soon as it understands 137 IV, VII | truth; nay, and to make them doubt whether there is any such 138 IV, VII | and the same idea, may, no doubt, with the same evidence 139 IV, VIII | affirmed of itself, without any doubt of the truth of any such 140 IV, VIII | had he but words, might no doubt have said, “Oyster in right 141 IV, VIII | be taken notice of; nor doubt of their truth when he does 142 IV, VIII | risibilitas; he might, no doubt, with great certainty, universally 143 IV, IX | than my own existence? If I doubt of all other things, that 144 IV, IX | other things, that very doubt makes me perceive my own 145 IV, IX | and will not suffer me to doubt of that. For if I know I 146 IV, IX | pain I feel: or if I know I doubt, I have as certain perception 147 IV, IX | that thought which I call doubt. Experience then convinces 148 IV, X | is something. He that can doubt whether he be anything or 149 IV, X | existence, (for really to doubt of it is manifestly impossible,) 150 IV, X | morality depend thereon, I doubt not but I shall be forgiven 151 IV, X | purpose, and leaves this past doubt, that the creation or beginning 152 IV, XI | certain, that I can no more doubt, whilst I write this, that 153 IV, XI | feels. At least, he that can doubt so far, (whatever he may 154 IV, XI | than the other, and yet doubt of the existence of those 155 IV, XI | sees a fire, may, if he doubt whether it be anything more 156 IV, XI | be little reason left to doubt that those words I write 157 IV, XI | of things free from all doubt and scruple; but to the 158 IV, XI | finger in it, will little doubt that this is something existing 159 IV, XI | distrust their testimony, as to doubt that such collections of 160 IV, XI | likelihood of it puts me past doubt, and it be reasonable for 161 IV, XI | grounds as are capable of no doubt, no objection.~11. Past 162 IV, XI | of this we are past all doubt, so long as we remember 163 IV, XII | Any one may as reasonably doubt or deny that his little 164 IV, XII | his body. And he that can doubt whether it be less, will 165 IV, XII | less, will as certainly doubt whether it be a part. So 166 IV, XII | and general truths; and I doubt not but, if a right method 167 IV, XII | considering man, no more reason to doubt, than he could have to doubt 168 IV, XII | doubt, than he could have to doubt of the truth of propositions 169 IV, XII | suppose it will appear past doubt, that, were the use of iron 170 IV, XIII | ones; and can as little doubt of that, as of this truth, 171 IV, XV | certainty, that we make no doubt at all about them; but assent 172 IV, XV | quite down to conjecture, doubt, and distrust: I shall come 173 IV, XVI | knowledge, or bring it in doubt. But, in matters of probability, 174 IV, XVI | and are thereby got past doubt in all the doctrines they 175 IV, XVI | thereupon with as little doubt as if it were perfect demonstration. 176 IV, XVI | man could almost as little doubt of it as that seven and 177 IV, XVI | anybody—we are put past doubt that a relation affirming 178 IV, XVI | believing it, and can as little doubt of it as he does of the 179 IV, XVI | belief, conjecture, guess, doubt, wavering, distrust, disbelief, & 180 IV, XVI | citations of writers, cannot doubt how little credit the quotations 181 IV, XVI | with it an assurance beyond doubt, evidence beyond exception. 182 IV, XVI | itself; and we may as well doubt of our own being, as we 183 IV, XVI | leaves no manner of room for doubt or hesitation. Only we must 184 IV, XVII | of reason: first cause to doubt this. There is one thing 185 IV, XVII | faculty. The causes I have to doubt are these:—~First, Because 186 IV, XVII | shown them.~Another cause to doubt whether syllogism be the 187 IV, XVII | Another reason that makes me doubt whether syllogism be the 188 IV, XVII | syllogism should be sought.
