Book,  Chapter

  1   Read         |           accurate a view as I am capable of; those subjects having
  2    Int         |         for of that they are very capable. And it will be an unpardonable,
  3    Int         |       upon those grounds they are capable of being proposed to us;
  4      I,  I     |         are true, and the mind is capable ever of assenting to, may
  5      I,  I     |        must be only because it is capable of knowing it; and so the
  6      I,  I     |         truths which his mind was capable of knowing, and that with
  7      I,  I     |          denied that the mind was capable of knowing several truths.
  8      I,  I     |    between any truths the mind is capable of knowing in respect of
  9      I,  I     |          the use of reason we are capable to come to a certain knowledge
 10      I,  I     |        others, acknowledged to be capable of rational conversation.
 11      I,  I     |        signifies that the mind is capable of understanding them, or
 12      I,  I     |         be this,—that the mind is capable of understanding and assenting
 13      I,  I     |           at the same time no way capable of assenting. For, though
 14      I,  I     |           When therefore they are capable of thought, of knowledge,
 15      I,  II    |        that these moral rules are capable of demonstration: and therefore
 16      I,  II    |           proposition, and so not capable of truth or falsehood. To
 17      I,  II    |          or falsehood. To make it capable of being assented to as
 18      I,  II    |      conceive how anything can be capable of a law that is not a free
 19      I,  III   |          our weak capacities were capable to receive so incomprehensible
 20     II,  I     |           pleasure or pain, or be capable of happiness or misery?
 21     II,  I     |       thinks and perceives, it is capable certainly of those of delight
 22     II,  IV    |         from pure space, which is capable neither of resistance nor
 23     II,  VI    |         other ideas, which are as capable to be the objects of its
 24     II,  VII   |   thinking and motion that we are capable of,—has been pleased to
 25     II,  VII   |          the only way that we are capable of having them; yet the
 26     II,  VIII  |       qualities as to render them capable of producing ideas in us
 27     II,  IX    |        concerning things not very capable of examination) I think
 28     II,  X     |      narrow mind of man not being capable of having many ideas under
 29     II,  X     |      created finite beings can be capable? It is reported of that
 30     II,  XI    |      their qualities, it would be capable of very little knowledge,
 31     II,  XI    |       what circumstances they are capable to be compared. And therefore,
 32     II,  XI    |           all the knowledge it is capable of: wherein I must appeal
 33     II,  XIII  |         considered by the mind as capable of being separated; and
 34     II,  XIII  |       they then have not, but are capable of But neither of these
 35     II,  XIV   |            as fast as the mind is capable of receiving new ones into
 36     II,  XV    |      considered together ~1. Both capable of greater and less. Though
 37     II,  XV    |        idea of continued lengths, capable of greater or less quantities.
 38     II,  XV    |          space as is equal to, or capable to receive, a body of any
 39     II,  XV    |           extension, both of them capable of addition or division
 40     II,  XV    |        extended in infinitum, not capable of multiplicity, variation,
 41     II,  XV    |       exist together, and are not capable of succession. And therefore,
 42     II,  XVI   |       retreat and lessen them, is capable of all the ideas of numbers
 43     II,  XVI   |          have no variety, nor are capable of any other difference
 44     II,  XVII  |         which have parts, and are capable of increase or diminution
 45     II,  XVII  |           Why other ideas are not capable of infinity. If it be so,
 46     II,  XVII  |          as having parts, and are capable of increase by the addition
 47     II,  XVII  |         that consist of parts are capable of being augmented by every
 48     II,  XVII  |       duration, and number, being capable of increase by repetition,
 49     II,  XVII  |       that I have it, though I be capable the next instant to double
 50     II,  XVII  |           idea of infinity we are capable of. For, even in space and
 51     II,  XVII  |      infinity than that of number capable still of further addition;
 52     II,  XVII  |         our comprehension, we are capable only of a comparative idea
 53     II,  XIX   |          things are not conceived capable of any such variation. But
 54     II,  XX    |         hatred or love, to beings capable of happiness or misery,
 55     II,  XXI   |           not that alone which is capable of both active and passive
 56     II,  XXI   |          place. This, in an agent capable of volition, when the beginning
 57     II,  XXI   |       comprehend beings above me, capable of such a freedom of will,
 58     II,  XXI   |         shall find that, we being capable but of one determination
 59     II,  XXI   |          of those that are judged capable of being then removed. For,
 60     II,  XXI   |          when they are judged not capable of a cure: they in that
 61     II,  XXI   |        the utmost pleasure we are capable of, and misery the utmost
 62     II,  XXI   |         the liberty men have, are capable of, or can be useful to
 63     II,  XXI   |       pain, we find not ourselves capable of any the least degree
 64     II,  XXI   |          to the utmost that he is capable, cannot acquit himself of
 65     II,  XXI   |            no agent being allowed capable of liberty, but in consequence
 66     II,  XXIII |          such qualities which are capable of producing simple ideas
 67     II,  XXIII |         is extended, figured, and capable of motion; spirit, a thing
 68     II,  XXIII |           motion; spirit, a thing capable of thinking; and so hardness,
 69     II,  XXIII |          so on wax, as to make it capable to produce in a man the
 70     II,  XXIII |          one sense, as to make it capable of all the several degrees
 71     II,  XXIII |         to them both.~19. Spirits capable of motion. There is no reason
 72     II,  XXIII |          my body, is certainly as capable of changing distance with
 73     II,  XXIII |         as body itself; and so is capable of motion. And if a mathematician
 74     II,  XXIII |        immaterial spirits are not capable of motion. Indeed motion
 75     II,  XXIII |         extended solid substance, capable of communicating motion
 76     II,  XXIII |         has been shown, spirit is capable of motion.~31. The notion
 77     II,  XXIII |         idea of him our minds are capable of: all which is done, I
 78     II,  XXIII |           spirits. Because, being capable of no other simple ideas,
 79     II,  XXIII |          best and quickest we are capable of. But of immediate communication
 80     II,  XXV   |       anything, the same thing is capable of having contrary denominations
 81     II,  XXV   |         comparison.~7. All things capable of relation. Concerning
 82     II,  XXV   |      either of them, which is not capable of almost an infinite number
 83     II,  XXV   |         infinite number: he being capable of as many relations as
 84     II,  XXV   |           then, of relations, are capable at least of being more perfect
 85     II,  XXVII |       force is added to it, it is capable to attain. If we would suppose
 86     II,  XXVII |   conscious of pleasure and pain, capable of happiness or misery,
 87     II,  XXVII |       only to intelligent agents, capable of a law, and happiness,
 88     II,  XXVIII|         simple idea, which, being capable of parts or degrees, affords
 89     II,  XXVIII|          particular relations are capable of being as clear and distinct
 90     II,  XXX   |   language assigned to it, is not capable of any deformity, being
 91     II,  XXXII |    examine, whether our ideas are capable of being true or false,
 92     II,  XXXII |         verbal, our ideas are not capable, any of them, of being false,
 93     II,  XXXII | extraneous to them, they are then capable to be called true or false.
 94     II,  XXXII |          or imagine it, and so is capable of neither truth nor falsehood.
 95     II,  XXXII |         archetypes, then they are capable of being wrong, as far as
 96    III,  I     |         which yet by no means are capable of language.~2. To use these
 97    III,  III   |         abstraction they are made capable of representing more individuals
 98    III,  IV    |           of simple ideas are not capable of any definition; the names
 99    III,  IV    |      words are, and what are not, capable of being defined; the want
100    III,  IV    |      words are, and what are not, capable of definitions, and wherein
101    III,  IV    |           name of any simple idea capable of a definition.~15. Names
102    III,  VI    |          virtue of which they are capable of being comprehended in
103    III,  VI    |    diligence and exactness we are capable of, yet is more remote from
104    III,  VI    |         that a rational animal is capable of conversation, is all
105    III,  VI    |           say that rationality is capable of conversation, because
106    III,  VI    |          whether they were not as capable of reason as infants cast
107    III,  VI    |         approved shape, are never capable of as much appearance of
108    III,  VI    |        him, disfigured as he was, capable to be a dignitary in the
109    III,  VI    |           in their birth, are not capable of a lasting duration, as
110    III,  IX    |           clearly as language was capable to express their thoughts.~
111    III,  IX    |           which our faculties are capable of. They being therefore
112    III,  IX    |       very obvious things) is not capable, without a constant defining
113    III,  X     |          extension and figure are capable of variation. But, since
114    III,  XI    |         and doubtful expressions, capable to make the most attentive
115    III,  XI    |           by and by.~16. Morality capable of demonstration. Upon this
116    III,  XI    |         to think that morality is capable of demonstration, as well
117     IV,  I     |         knowledge we have, or are capable of For all the inquiries
118     IV,  II    |         our way of knowledge, are capable of, it may not be amiss
119     IV,  II    |     certain that human frailty is capable of. This part of knowledge
120     IV,  II    |           cannot conceive himself capable of a greater certainty than
121     IV,  II    |       perception left to a degree capable of distinct ideas; no more
122     IV,  II    |        that mathematics alone are capable of demonstrative certainty:
123     IV,  II    |           them, there the mind is capable of intuitive knowledge;
124     IV,  II    |          ideas, there the mind is capable of demonstration: which
125     IV,  II    |           as blue and red, are as capable of demonstration as ideas
126     IV,  III   |        subject we cannot conceive capable of them, as well as in a
127     IV,  III   |        another world, and make us capable there to receive the retribution
128     IV,  III   |           has all the helps it is capable of, for the finding of proofs
129     IV,  III   |          not those alone that are capable of demonstration and knowledge;
130     IV,  III   |         such endeavours.~Morality capable of demonstration. The idea
131     IV,  III   |     morality amongst the sciences capable of demonstration: wherein
132     IV,  III   |           they should not also be capable of demonstration, if due
133     IV,  III   |      whatever he pleases; I am as capable of being certain of the
134     IV,  III   |        and made them thought more capable of certainty and demonstration,
135     IV,  III   |          made them be thought not capable of demonstration, may in
136     IV,  III   |         simple ideas that men are capable of having, but have not,
137     IV,  III   |          the want of ideas we are capable of. As the want of ideas
138     IV,  III   |   ignorance of things we conceive capable of being known to us. Bulk,
139     IV,  III   |       want the latter, we are not capable of scientifical knowledge;
140     IV,  III   |          And in these only we are capable of certain and universal
141     IV,  III   |      things that are, that we are capable to know. And therefore we
142     IV,  III   |  contained in it, that we are not capable of a philosophical knowledge
143     IV,  III   |          think, so far from being capable of any such thing, that
144     IV,  IV    |          but itself, can never be capable of a wrong representation,
145     IV,  IV    |        that moral knowledge is as capable of real certainty as mathematics.
146     IV,  IV    |        known to all those who are capable of instruction, discoursing,
147     IV,  IV    |        hypothesis, are or are not capable of a rational soul to be
148     IV,  V     |          propositions that we are capable of making:—~First, mental,
149     IV,  V     |        ideas all men’s brains are capable of? But if we rest here,
150     IV,  V     |       such as really have, or are capable of having, an existence
151     IV,  V     |           are such as we know are capable of having an existence in
152     IV,  V     |     universal propositions we are capable of being certain of their
153     IV,  VI    |        which we know not, are not capable to convey certainty to the
154     IV,  VI    |          yet make it thereby more capable of universal certainty,
155     IV,  VI    |        nor what alterations it is capable to make or receive on or
156     IV,  VI    |         or universal propositions capable of real certainty.~13. Judgment
157     IV,  VI    |        kind soever, are then only capable of certainty, when the terms
158     IV,  VI    |            as there expressed, is capable to be discovered by us.
159     IV,  VII   |     without which it can never be capable of any knowledge) to know
160     IV,  VII   |          as our ideas. And we are capable of making as many self-evident
161     IV,  VII   |         receive no light, nor are capable of any proof one from another;
162     IV,  VIII  |         but what every one who is capable of discourse knows without
163     IV,  IX    |           it neither needs nor is capable of any proof. For nothing
164     IV,  X     |     Existence of a God ~1. We are capable of knowing certainly that
165     IV,  X     |           which are in themselves capable of clear demonstration.
166     IV,  X     |            therefore, that we are capable of knowing, i.e. being certain
167     IV,  X     |          of matter, as matter, is capable of all the same figures
168     IV,  XI    |          great as human nature is capable of, concerning the existence
169     IV,  XI    |         greatest assurance we are capable of concerning the existence
170     IV,  XI    |           certainty in things not capable of it; and refuse assent
171     IV,  XI    |          upon such grounds as are capable of no doubt, no objection.~
172     IV,  XI    |        not, I fear, in this state capable of knowing. We are not,
173     IV,  XI    |       matters; wherein we are not capable of any other knowledge,
174     IV,  XII   |             viz. that morality is capable of demonstration as well
175     IV,  XII   |         natural philosophy is not capable of being made a science.
176     IV,  XII   |     whether natural philosophy be capable of certainty or no, the
177     IV,  XII   |       knowledge, as far as we are capable, seem to me, in short, to
178     IV,  XIII  |          pictures and discourses, capable to delight or instruct him,
179     IV,  XIV   |        intellectual creatures are capable of to excite in us a desire
180     IV,  XV    |        lie.~6. Probable arguments capable of great variety. Upon these
181     IV,  XVI   |          greatest part of men are capable of doing, in regulating
182     IV,  XVI   |         points wherein we are not capable of certain and demonstrative
183     IV,  XVI   |          sensible matter of fact, capable of human testimony, or of
184     IV,  XVI   |     falling under observation, is capable of human testimony; or else
185     IV,  XVI   |  discovery of our senses, are not capable of any such testimony.~6.
186     IV,  XVI   |            and such things as are capable of observation and testimony.
187     IV,  XVI   |          our senses, they are not capable of testimony. Such are,
188     IV,  XVII  |        neither of those ideas, be capable of representing more real
189     IV,  XX    |         the matter in question is capable, and will bear it to be
