  2      I,  III   |           and part are innate ideas, extension and number must be so too;
  3      I,  III   |       imprinted on them the ideas of extension and number, I leave to be
  4     II,  I     |              from the soul as actual extension is from the body; which

  6     II,  IV    |              idea of solidity is the extension of body distinguished from
  7     II,  IV    |          body distinguished from the extension of space:—the extension
  8     II,  IV    |              extension of space:—the extension of body being nothing but
  9     II,  IV    |               movable parts; and the extension of space, the continuity
 10     II,  IV    |            idea they can have of the extension of body: the idea of the
 11     II,  IV    |               or explains to me what extension or motion is, which perhaps
 12     II,  V     |           one sense are, of space or extension, figure, rest, and motion.
 13     II,  V     |           our minds the ideas of the extension, figure, motion, and rest
 14     II,  VII   |         large and immense field doth extension alone afford the mathematicians?  ~
 15     II,  VIII  |             part has still solidity, extension, figure, and mobility: divide
 16     II,  VIII  |           take away either solidity, extension, figure, or mobility from
 17     II,  VIII  |          ideas in us, viz. solidity, extension, figure, motion or rest,
 18     II,  VIII  |          have of them. And since the extension, figure, number, and motion
 19     II,  VIII  |              in them (viz. solidity, extension, figure, number, and motion,

 23     II,  XIII  |              and touch.~3. Space and extension. This space, considered
 24     II,  XIII  |           called capacity. (The term extension is usually applied to it
 25     II,  XIII  |          parts of the termination of extension, or circumscribed space,

 27     II,  XIII  |           extension or distance.~11. Extension and body not the same. There
 28     II,  XIII  |           persuade us, that body and extension are the same thing, who
 29     II,  XIII  |     therefore, they mean by body and extension the same that other people
 30     II,  XIII  |       movable different ways; and by extension, only the space that lies
 31     II,  XIII  |        solidity cannot exist without extension, neither can scarlet colour
 32     II,  XIII  |         scarlet colour exist without extension, but this hinders not, but
 33     II,  XIII  |             includes not the idea of extension in it; the same reason will
 34     II,  XIII  |       distinct ideas as thinking and extension, and as wholly separable
 35     II,  XIII  |          from another. Body then and extension, it is evident, are two
 36     II,  XIII  |             distinct ideas. For,~12. Extension not solidity. First, Extension
 37     II,  XIII  |       Extension not solidity. First, Extension includes no solidity, nor
 38     II,  XIII  |         mobility in body without its extension, without thinking of their
 39     II,  XIII  |          body.~15. The definition of extension explains it not. If any
 40     II,  XIII  |            when he tells me what his extension is. For to say, as is usually
 41     II,  XIII  |             as is usually done, that extension is to have partes extra
 42     II,  XIII  |         partes, is to say only, that extension is extension. For what am
 43     II,  XIII  |              only, that extension is extension. For what am I the better
 44     II,  XIII  |            informed in the nature of extension, when I am told that extension
 45     II,  XIII  |       extension, when I am told that extension is to have parts that are
 46     II,  XIII  |              that are extended, i.e. extension consists of extended parts?
 47     II,  XIII  |            that they have an idea of extension void of solidity, though
 48     II,  XIII  |   signification of words, as to call extension body, and consequently make
 49     II,  XIII  |          body to be nothing but pure extension without solidity, must talk
 50     II,  XIII  |           since it is impossible for extension to be without extension.
 51     II,  XIII  |              extension to be without extension. For vacuum, whether we
 52     II,  XIII  |         Whether the idea of space or extension be the same with the idea
 53     II,  XIII  |          names of the same idea.~25. Extension being inseparable from body,
 54     II,  XIII  |              It is true, the idea of extension joins itself so inseparably
 55     II,  XIII  |             taking in impressions of extension too. This readiness of extension
 56     II,  XIII  |     extension too. This readiness of extension to make itself be taken
 57     II,  XIII  |        essence of body to consist in extension; which is not much to be
 58     II,  XIII  |              filled with the idea of extension, and, as it were, wholly
 59     II,  XIII  |             to anything that had not extension. I shall not now argue with
 60     II,  XIII  |            the essence of body to be extension, because they say they cannot
 61     II,  XIII  |          quality of any body without extension,—I shall desire them to
 62     II,  XIII  |          included in them no idea of extension at all, which is but an
 63     II,  XIII  |        respect of those solid parts, extension; or whether, considering
 64     II,  XIII  |              be wished that the name extension were applied only to matter,
 65     II,  XIV   |              1. Duration is fleeting extension. There is another sort of
 66     II,  XIV   |             that has got the idea of extension from bodies by his sight
 67     II,  XIV   |         periods. In the measuring of extension, there is nothing more required
 68     II,  XIV   |             of to the thing of whose extension we would be informed. But
 69     II,  XIV   |           duration, as nothing is of extension but extension, we cannot
 70     II,  XIV   |          nothing is of extension but extension, we cannot keep by us any
 71     II,  XIV   |            can of certain lengths of extension, as inches, feet, yards, &
 72     II,  XIV   |            out in any matter, are to extension. For, though we in this
 73     II,  XIV   |            cubit alter the notion of extension to those who make use of
 74     II,  XIV   |          finite both in duration and extension. But it being at least as
 75     II,  XIV   |              limits to body, and the extension belonging to it; but not
 76     II,  XV    |               to distinguish it from extension, which by some is used to
 77     II,  XV    |             come to the end of solid extension; the extremity and bounds
 78     II,  XV    |              this,—That duration and extension being used as names of affections
 79     II,  XV    |               not attributing to Him extension, but only to matter, which
 80     II,  XV    |              be more properly called extension than place. Within these
 81     II,  XV    |         duration, and the particular extension and place, of all corporeal
 82     II,  XV    |        particular finite beings, the extension of any body is so much of
 83     II,  XV    |               c.~9. All the parts of extension are extension, and all the
 84     II,  XV    |           the parts of extension are extension, and all the parts of duration
 85     II,  XV    |           come to so small a part of extension or duration as excluded
 86     II,  XV    |           its more enlarged ideas of extension and duration. But, since
 87     II,  XV    |      duration too; and every part of extension is extension, both of them
 88     II,  XV    |           every part of extension is extension, both of them capable of
 89     II,  XV    |              complex modes of space, extension, and duration are made up,
 90     II,  XVI   |            every the least excess in extension?~4. Therefore demonstrations
 91     II,  XVI   |            evident and exact than in extension, yet they are more general
 92     II,  XVI   |              distinguishable than in extension; where every equality and
 93     II,  XVI   |              90. But it is not so in extension, where, whatsoever is more
 94     II,  XVII  |              The obvious portions of extension that affect our senses,
 95     II,  XVII  |      considered by us, either as the extension of body, or as existing
 96     II,  XVII  |        further progress in space and extension that it rather facilitates
 97     II,  XVII  |              far no one can doubt of extension; and when we are come to
 98     II,  XVII  |           For to the largest idea of extension or duration that I at present
 99     II,  XVII  |       infinite, whereas duration and extension are apt to be so; which

102     II,  XXI   |          does not? For, our ideas of extension, duration, and number, do
103     II,  XXI   |              and original ones, viz. Extension, Solidity, Mobility, or
104     II,  XXIII |              is it that solidity and extension adhere in, he would not
105     II,  XXIII |         always something besides the extension, figure, solidity, motion,
106     II,  XXIII |       distinct ideas as the ideas of extension, solidity, and being moved.
107     II,  XXIII |            the consequence of finite extension.~18. Thinking and motivity
108     II,  XXIII |              cohere together to make extension. For though the pressure
109     II,  XXIII |              we think we have of the extension of body, which is nothing
110     II,  XXIII |              very ill comprehend the extension of body, without understanding
111     II,  XXIII |              how the parts cohere in extension, as how our spirits perceive
112     II,  XXIII |           far enough from making the extension of body (which is the cohesion
113     II,  XXIII |             all other: so far is our extension of body (which is nothing
114     II,  XXIII |            in spirit, as clear as of extension in body; and the communication
115     II,  XXIII |           perceive not the nature of extension clearer than we do of thinking.
116     II,  XXIII |         various modifications of the extension of cohering solid parts,
117     II,  XXIII |              infinitum of any finite extension involving us, whether we
118     II,  XXIII |            solid parts, which is the extension and motion of bodies; we
119     II,  XXVI  |               Relations of place and extension. The relation also that
120     II,  XXVI  |            But as in duration, so in extension and bulk, there are some
121     II,  XXVIII|              of sweetness, light, or extension, I have, too, of equal,
122     II,  XXIX  |           number, which concerns not extension) betwixt the 1,000,000th
123     II,  XXIX  |             of the different bulk or extension of those bodies, having
124     II,  XXIX  |              divisibility of body or extension, our distinct and clear
125     II,  XXIX  |              clear distinct ideas of extension after some progress of division,
126     II,  XXIX  |            it is also in our idea of extension, when we increase it by
127     II,  XXIX  |          doublings of those ideas of extension, which are the largest we
128     II,  XXXI  |            ever it did. Solidity and extension, and the termination of
129     II,  XXXII |        joined with them. Thus, if to extension, solidity, fusibility, the
130    III,  III   |              of a more comprehensive extension: which new idea is made,
131    III,  IV    |     qualities, with distinction from extension, number, motion, pleasure,
132    III,  V     |           than the measures of time, extension and weight; and the Latin
133    III,  VI    |             with some people be bare extension or space, then solidity
134    III,  VI    |              body to be solidity and extension, then solidity is essential
135    III,  VI    |          that the essence of body is extension; if it be so, we can never
136    III,  VI    |             us then in discourse put extension for body, and when we would
137    III,  VI    |          body moves, let us say that extension moves, and see how ill it
138    III,  VI    |             that should say that one extension by impulse moves another
139    III,  VI    |             by impulse moves another extension, would, by the bare expression,
140    III,  VI    |          essence of body is not bare extension, but an extended solid thing;
141    III,  VI    |        agreed in the complex idea of extension and solidity, needed but
142    III,  X     |            discovered. That body and extension in common use, stand for
143    III,  X     |              to say, “the body of an extension,” as the “extension of a
144    III,  X     |            of an extension,” as the “extension of a body”; and yet there
145    III,  X     |          body, without taking in its extension and figure: and therefore
146    III,  X     |            different bodies, because extension and figure are capable of
147    III,  X     |        solidity cannot exist without extension and figure, the taking matter
148    III,  X     |              body sometimes for pure extension, and sometimes for extension
149    III,  X     |         extension, and sometimes for extension and solidity together, will
150     IV,  II    |              of the ideas of number, extension, and figure alone, it may
151     IV,  II    |              not limited to ideas of extension, figure, number, and their
152     IV,  II    |           perceivable: and though in extension every the least excess is
153     IV,  II    | demonstration as ideas of number and extension. What I have here said of
154     IV,  III   |              to anything that has no extension at all, will confess that
155     IV,  III   |          figure necessarily supposes extension; receiving or communicating
156     IV,  III   |           once: v.g. each particular extension, figure, number of parts,
157     IV,  III   |          well as those of number and extension: and I cannot see why they
158     IV,  VII   |         calls body to be nothing but extension, may easily demonstrate
159     IV,  VII   |            the name body, being bare extension, his knowledge that space
160     IV,  VII   |             he knows his own idea of extension clearly and distinctly,
161     IV,  VII   |         called by these three names,—extension, body, space. Which three
162     IV,  VII   |            of a thing that hath both extension and solidity together; he
163     IV,  VII   |             barely the simple one of extension, and the idea to which he
164     IV,  VII   |            being the complex idea of extension and resistibility or solidity,
165     IV,  VII   |              viz. this proposition: “Extension or space is not body,” is
166     IV,  XVII  |            perfect idea of the least extension of matter, nor of infinity,
