  6      I,  II    |         Justice and truth are the common ties of society; and therefore
  7      I,  II    |          would be thought void of common sense who asked on the one
  8      I,  II    |          the innate principles or common notions, and asserted their

 20     II,  II    |          I have here followed the common opinion of man’s having
 21     II,  IV    |         suffices that I think the common notion of solidity will

 35     II,  XV    |       thereof it makes use of the common measures, which, by familiar

 37     II,  XV    |        For this present moment is common to all things that are now
 38     II,  XVII  |          and years; which are the common measures, whereof we have
 39     II,  XXI   |        them as such, according to common apprehension; yet they being
 40     II,  XXI   |           have their place in the common use of languages that have
 41     II,  XXI   |        wandering. Fashion and the common opinion having settled wrong

 46     II,  XXIII |          ideas, all united in one common subject.~15. Our ideas of
 47     II,  XXIII |       duration, and mobility, are common to them both.~19. Spirits
 48     II,  XXIII |            Is there anything more common? And what doubt can there
 49     II,  XXIII |           that thus united in one common substratum, make up our
 50     II,  XXV   |           men in reference to one common parent, it is very easy
 51     II,  XXVII |   coherent body, partaking of one common life, it continues to be
 52     II,  XXVII |       which is fit to convey that common life to all the parts so
 53     II,  XXVII |        insensible parts, with one common life, we should have something
 54     II,  XXVII |           mouth, the account of a common, but much credited story,
 55     II,  XXVII |           and asked, and answered common questions, like a reasonable
 56     II,  XXVIII|           and words to the use of common life, and not to the truth
 57     II,  XXVIII|        and vice. That this is the common measure of virtue and vice,
 58     II,  XXVIII|           not feared to appeal to common repute: “Whatsoever is lovely,
 59     II,  XXIX  |       ideas, and such only as are common to other things, whereby
 60     II,  XXX   |        justice to that idea which common use calls liberality. But

 65     II,  XXXII |         minds, called by the same common name; v.g. when the mind
 66     II,  XXXII |         several names that are in common use stand for; they being
 67     II,  XXXII |        especially those which the common and unborrowed names of
 68     II,  XXXIII|          sincerity blindfold from common sense, will, when examined,

 70    III,  I     |      dependence our words have on common sensible ideas; and how
 71    III,  II    |           as they imagine, in the common acceptation of that language;
 72    III,  II    |        sign of, in the mouths and common language of his subjects.
 73    III,  II    |         his subjects. It is true, common use, by a tacit consent,
 74    III,  III   |           the world, that in some common agreements of shape, and
 75    III,  III   |           and retain only what is common to them all.~8. And further
 76    III,  III   |       rank them into sorts, under common denominations. The former
 77    III,  IV    |          those simple ideas which common use has made them the signs
 78    III,  IV    |           other thing in one idea common to them both; which, having
 79    III,  IV    |         to make them agree in one common appearance, and so have
 80    III,  V     |          have nothing but what is common to them with other ideas:
 81    III,  V     |          complex one; and, by the common name it gives them, makes
 82    III,  V     |           There are no ideas more common and less compounded than
 83    III,  V     |      unity depends on the name in common use annexed to it, I leave
 84    III,  VI    |       Names of Substances ~1. The common names of substances stand
 85    III,  VI    |   substances stand for sorts. The common names of substances, as
 86    III,  VI    |         being comprehended in one common conception, and signified
 87    III,  VI    |  individuals, and rank them under common names, and then the thought
 88    III,  VI    |           one sort, called by one common name, and so received as
 89    III,  VI    |        not some way answering the common appearances and agreement
 90    III,  VI    |          thus are, they serve for common converse. But though this

 99    III,  VI    |           it is uncertain whether common use will ever make them
100    III,  VIII  |        words of language, and our common use of them, would have
101    III,  VIII  |       another. This we see in the common use of language, which permits

105    III,  IX    |          such arbitrary ideas.~8. Common use, or propriety not a
106    III,  IX    |    sufficient remedy. It is true, common use, that is, the rule of
107    III,  IX    |          in some measure it does. Common use regulates the meaning
108    III,  IX    |          of words pretty well for common conversation; but nobody
109    III,  IX    |         any one shall annex them, common use is not sufficient to
110    III,  IX    |      nothing of others) which, in common use, has not a great latitude,
111    III,  IX    |          the signification of its common name very various and uncertain.

115    III,  X     |   singular, and out of the way of common apprehensions, or to support
116    III,  X     |        That body and extension in common use, stand for two distinct

119    III,  X     |            2. When they apply the common received names of any language

132    III,  XI    |       their meaning; where either common use has left it uncertain
133    III,  XI    |    propriety of the language, the common, but confused, or very imperfect,
134    III,  XI    |        that the significations of common words are certainly established,

138     IV,  II    |       some intervening idea, as a common measure, to show their agreement
139     IV,  III   |           these will serve us for common use and discourse, yet whilst
140     IV,  IV    |        apply them contrary to the common usage of the country. But
141     IV,  IV    |           more noble, and, in the common phrase, the far more essential
142     IV,  IV    |       necessary is it to quit the common notion of species and essences,
143     IV,  V     |          the greatest part of the common words of that language,
144     IV,  VI    |         Every one may observe how common it is for names to be made
145     IV,  VII   |           of words, which is most common, will serve to prove contradictions:
146     IV,  VIII  |         so openly bid defiance to common sense, as to affirm visible
147     IV,  X     |           would authorize, if the common settled opinion opposes
148     IV,  XII   |        maxims. It having been the common received opinion amongst
149     IV,  XII   |         of particular men for the common use of human life and their
150     IV,  XVI   |           maintain peace, and the common offices of humanity, and
151     IV,  XVI   |       when testimonies contradict common experience, and the reports
152     IV,  XVI   |  foundations of credibility, viz. common observation in like cases,
153     IV,  XVI   |         the testimony. Though the common experience and the ordinary
154     IV,  XVI   |   proposed agree or disagree with common experience, and the ordinary
155     IV,  XVII  |          and for this I appeal to common observation, which has always
156     IV,  XVII  |         not owing to any rules of common logic. A man knows first,
157     IV,  XVII  |          a way to, and add to the common stock of mankind, rather
158     IV,  XVII  |           their reputation in the common esteem with some kind of
159     IV,  XVII  |     improper way of speaking, yet common use has so authorized it,
160     IV,  XVIII |       apparently contradictory to common sense and the very principles
161     IV,  XIX   |           with it, when got above common sense, and freed from all
162     IV,  XIX   |        inspired, and be above the common and natural ways of knowledge,
