1 Ded | This, my lord, shows what a present I here make to your lordship; 2 Ded | your lordship the richest present you ever received. This 3 Read | the worthlessness of my present. It is that chiefly which 4 Read | itself, when that idea is present in it, or should be present 5 Read | present in it, or should be present in it, when a man gives 6 Read | steadily annexed during that present discourse.

But in the future 12 II, II | supposition serves equally to my present purpose.  ~ 13 II, III | are most material to our present purpose, or are in themselves 14 II, VIII | it were the design of my present undertaking to inquire into 15 II, VIII | hail-stones;—let us suppose at present that the different motions 16 II, VIII | it being necessary in our present inquiry to distinguish the 17 II, IX | is actually produced, and present in the understanding.~5. 18 II, X | could not proceed beyond present objects, were it not for 19 II, X | dormant ideas which it has present occasion for; in the having 20 II, X | knows all things, past, present, and to come, and to whom 21 II, X | reasonings could be always present to him. And therefore we 22 II, XI | imperfectly about things present, and very familiar to their 23 II, XII | the later whereof, in our present case, is perhaps the more 24 II, XIII | 9. Place relative to a present purpose. But this modification 25 II, XIII | which best served to their present purpose, without considering 26 II, XIV | all, which is enough to my present purpose; and sufficiently 27 II, XIV | infinite; I answer, That to my present purpose it is not needful, 28 II, XIV | first existence to this present year 1689, to have been 29 II, XV | equally partake. For this present moment is common to all 30 II, XV | possess at once more than the present moment of duration; yet 31 II, XV | yet to come he cannot make present. What I say of man, I say 32 II, XV | from His sight, than the present: they all lie under the 33 II, XVI | fingers of others who were present. And I doubt not but we 34 II, XVII | extension or duration that I at present have, the addition of any 35 II, XVII | beginning from ourselves and the present time we are in, repeat in 36 II, XVII | of future duration with present or past existence, any more 37 II, XIX | volume. It suffices to my present purpose to have shown here, 38 II, XIX | wholly impertinent to our present design, if we reflect here 39 II, XIX | ideas, some or other, always present in the mind of a waking 40 II, XX | of the delight which any present or absent thing is apt to 41 II, XX | the pain which anything present or absent is apt to produce 42 II, XX | absence of anything whose present enjoyment carries the idea 43 II, XX | the consideration of the present or assured approaching possession 44 II, XX | longer; or the sense of a present evil.~9. Hope is that pleasure 45 II, XX | receipt of any injury, with a present purpose of revenge.~13. 46 II, XXI | enter into that inquiry, my present business being not to search 47 II, XXI | state or action, is only the present satisfaction in it; the 48 II, XXI | uneasiness a man is at present under. This is that which 49 II, XXI | the will. Good and evil, present and absent, it is true, 50 II, XXI | determines not the will, but present uneasiness alone. It seems 51 II, XXI | loses its hold, and the present uneasiness determines the 52 II, XXI | one action at once, the present uneasiness that we are under 53 II, XXI | Because uneasiness alone is present. Another reason why it is 54 II, XXI | this: because that alone is present and, it is against the nature 55 II, XXI | home to the mind and made present. The idea of it indeed may 56 II, XXI | the mind, and viewed as present there; but nothing will 57 II, XXI | will be in the mind as a present good, able to counterbalance 58 II, XXI | and appears most in the present state of the mind. Nay, 59 II, XXI | what it will. Besides, the present moment not being our eternity, 60 II, XXI | enjoyment be, we look beyond the present, and desire goes with our 61 II, XXI | some new action, and the present delight neglected.~41. The 62 II, XXI | our lives. The greatest present uneasiness is the spur to 63 II, XXI | from all pain, and so much present pleasure, as without which 64 II, XXI | happiness wherewith he, in his present thoughts, can satisfy himself. 65 II, XXI | happiness and misery itself. All present pain, whatever it be, makes 66 II, XXI | be, makes a part of our present misery. but all absent good 67 II, XXI | a necessary part of our present happiness, nor the absence 68 II, XXI | portion of good serves at present to content men; and a few 69 II, XXI | pains we feel, and are at present pressed with, being the 70 II, XXI | beginning to make a part of our present uneasiness, stands upon 71 II, XXI | those uneasinesses which are present to us, which (whilst we 72 II, XXI | if he prefers it in his present thoughts before any other, 73 II, XXI | are able to suspend the present satisfaction of any desire.~ 74 II, XXI | the rack, &c.; which, when present and violent, operate for 75 II, XXI | fault.~60. Our judgment of present good or evil always right. 76 II, XXI | desires are misled. For, as to present happiness and misery, when 77 II, XXI | prefers. Things in their present enjoyment are what they 78 II, XXI | greater than it is felt, the present good or evil is really so 79 II, XXI | offered at once to any one’s present possession, he would not 80 II, XXI | along with them in their present performance, but are the 81 II, XXI | desires look beyond our present enjoyments, and carry the 82 II, XXI | have, sufficing for our present happiness, we desire not 83 II, XXI | Secondly, But because not only present pleasure and pain, but that 84 II, XXI | Men may err in comparing present and future. (1) Therefore, 85 II, XXI | future. (1) Therefore, as to present pleasure and pain, the mind, 86 II, XXI | it appears. But, though present pleasure and pain show their 87 II, XXI | mistake; yet, when we compare present pleasure or pain with future, ( 88 II, XXI | pleasures and pains: the present is apt to carry it; and 89 II, XXI | will certainly come to be present; and then, having the same 90 II, XXI | himself, and consider it as present, and there take its true 91 II, XXI | proportion, and what is present obtains the preference as 92 II, XXI | men enjoy what they can in present, and make sure of that, 93 II, XXI | judging amiss when we compare present pleasure and pain with future. 94 II, XXI | amiss, when we compare our present pleasure or pain with future, 95 II, XXI | whilst pain possesses us. The present pleasure, if it be not very 96 II, XXI | desire to be rid of the present evil, which we are apt to 97 II, XXI | equal; because, under the present pain, we find not ourselves 98 II, XXI | intent to get rid of the present evil, before all things, 99 II, XXI | because the abstinence from a present pleasure that offers itself 100 II, XXI | unable to counterbalance present uneasiness. Add to this, 101 II, XXI | pain or desire, which is present. For, its greatness being 102 II, XXI | make it give place to any present desire; and conclude with 103 II, XXI | which they should forego a present enjoyment. But that this 104 II, XXI | wrong judgment we make of present and future pleasure and 105 II, XXI | This is an affected and present ignorance, which misleads 106 II, XXI | the prevalency of some present pleasure or pain, heightened 107 II, XXI | strongly wrought on by what is present. To check this precipitancy, 108 II, XXI | to brag of, even in their present possession; nay, all things 109 II, XXI | discovery opened to me this present view, which here, in this 110 II, XXI | change of operation is some present uneasiness, which is, or 111 II, XXI | determination of my will, which at present orders rest; the indifferency 112 II, XXI | sensations in us. But my present purpose being only to inquire 113 II, XXII | that is requisite to my present design, is to show what 114 II, XXIII | which is suited to our present condition, we want not faculties 115 II, XXIII | as to suit them to their present design, and the circumstances 116 II, XXIII | themselves? But to us, in our present state, unalterable organs, 117 II, XXIII | as is best for us in our present condition. He hath fitted 118 II, XXIII | it is applicable to our present purpose, I desire him to 119 II, XXVII | to which we compare the present. For we never finding, nor 120 II, XXVII | Thus it is always as to our present sensations and perceptions: 121 II, XXVII | the same self with this present one that now reflects on 122 II, XXVII | consciousness, always remained present in the mind, whereby the 123 II, XXVII | would be always consciously present, and, as would be thought, 124 II, XXVII | selves, being intent on our present thoughts, and in sound sleep 125 II, XXVII | consciousness it has of any present action; so far it is the 126 II, XXVII | consciousness it has of its present thoughts and actions, that 127 II, XXVII | could not: but it being a present representation of a past 128 II, XXVII | when it began to inform his present body; though it were never 129 II, XXVII | has the consciousness of present and past actions, is the 130 II, XXVII | matters not whether this present self be made up of the same 131 II, XXVII | the consciousness of this present thinking thing can join 132 II, XXVII | wherein if Socrates and the present mayor of Queinborough agree, 133 II, XXVII | recollection join with that present consciousness whereby I 134 II, XXVII | substance vitally united to the present thinking being is a part 135 II, XXVII | personality extends itself beyond present existence to what is past, 136 II, XXVII | same reason as it does the present. All which is founded in 137 II, XXVII | reconcile or appropriate to that present self by consciousness, it 138 II, XXVIII| all. It suffices to our present purpose to show by these, 139 II, XXIX | sensation or perception, present them. Whilst the memory 140 II, XXXII | but that being besides my present business, I shall not trouble 141 II, XXXIII| necessity there is in this present argument to distinguish 142 III, III | serves well enough to my present purpose. And one may, in 143 III, IV | is not wholly besides our present purpose; and perhaps will 144 III, VI | them when we have them not present before us; yet if we suppose 145 III, VI | need of general names for present use, stay not for a perfect 146 IV, I | knowledge, which is the present view the mind has of the 147 IV, I | of his mind; so that at present it is not actually in view, 148 IV, III | existence of things actually present to our senses, is yet much 149 IV, III | human knowledge, under the present circumstances of our beings 150 IV, III | for the state we are at present in, not being that of vision, 151 IV, III | probability: and in the present question, about the Immateriality 152 IV, III | whatever of each kind is present in any subject, excludes 153 IV, III | with another; which in the present state of philosophy I think 154 IV, III | extends not beyond the objects present to our senses.~22. Our ignorance 155 IV, III | give us some light into the present state of our minds if we 156 IV, IV | when the thing signified is present and in view? But in moral 157 IV, IV | that know so little of this present world we are in, may, I 158 IV, V | or not being much to our present purpose, it may suffice 159 IV, VI | bodies owe so much of their present state to other bodies without 160 IV, VI | the distance out of its present situation, and placed a 161 IV, X | incogitative beings; which to our present purpose, if for nothing 162 IV, X | serves well enough to our present purpose, and leaves this 163 IV, XI | great concernment of my present state. This is certain: 164 IV, XI | knowledge extends as far as the present testimony of our senses, 165 IV, XII | not being material to my present occasion. That which I have 166 IV, XVI | and outweigh all that at present seems to preponderate with 167 IV, XVIII | other things, of whose past, present, or future existence, by 168 IV, XX | yet not necessary to our present purpose.~6. Third cause 169 IV, XXI | of them, besides itself, present to the understanding, it 170 IV, XXI | it considers, should be present to it: and these are ideas.
