 21      I,  I     |            can be ignorant of those notions that nature has imprinted,

 26      I,  II    |         innate principles or common notions, and asserted their being
 27      I,  II    |         more than all, those common notions written on our minds by
 28      I,  II    |            and the like, for common notions and practical principles.

 41      I,  III   |            in their mouths, yet the notions they apply this name to
 42      I,  III   |             the truth is, ideas and notions are no more born with us
 43      I,  III   |          that is to be found in the notions of mankind is, from the
 44      I,  III   |           may happen concerning the notions we have of the being of
 45      I,  III   |          whereon to establish those notions we can have of our own knowledge,—
 46     II,  I     |          whereon to build all those notions which ever he shall have
 47     II,  I     |              at least, some obscure notions of them. No man can be wholly
 48     II,  II    |            a deaf man true distinct notions of sounds.~3. Only the qualities

 50     II,  XI    |            from another,—so far our notions are confused, and our reason
 51     II,  XI    |           and is agreeable to those notions, which, if we will examine
 52     II,  XII   |          from the ordinary received notions, either to make new words,
 53     II,  XII   |        observe the originals of our notions, that even the most abstruse
 54     II,  XIII  |           to put off those confused notions and prejudices it has imbibed

 59     II,  XXI   |        opinion having settled wrong notions, and education and custom
 60     II,  XXI   |        business. But whatever false notions, or shameful neglect of
 61     II,  XXI   |       motions and in thinking. True notions concerning the nature and
 62     II,  XXI   |            some may think my former notions right; and some (as I have
 63     II,  XXI   |          and exact ones in abstract notions not so very easy, especially
 64     II,  XXII  |         that these ideas are called notions: as if they had their original,
 65     II,  XXIII |             will have true distinct notions of the several sorts of
 66     II,  XXV   |        leave it past doubt that the notions we have of them are but
 67     II,  XXVII |    attention used in having precise notions of the things to which it
 68     II,  XXVII |             same place: or else the notions and names of identity and
 69     II,  XXVII |            agree yet worse with the notions of those philosophers who
 70     II,  XXVIII|           mankind have fitted their notions and words to the use of
 71     II,  XXVIII|             are proportioned to the notions men have, and the commerce
 72     II,  XXVIII|           they had no philosophical notions, there they had no terms
 73     II,  XXVIII|           once: when we frame these notions thus in our minds, we have
 74     II,  XXVIII|            understood wherein their notions of virtue and vice consisted.
 75     II,  XXVIII|            see how moral beings and notions are founded on, and terminated

 77     II,  XXXI  |          accommodated to the vulgar notions, without which one cannot
 78     II,  XXXIII|           passions, reasonings, and notions themselves, that perhaps
 79     II,  XXXIII|          combined in the mind, what notions, what reasonings, will there

 81    III,  I     |            to stand for actions and notions quite removed from sense,
 82    III,  I     |          kind of guess what kind of notions they were, and whence derived,
 83    III,  III   |       perhaps be amiss to trace our notions and names from their beginning,
 84    III,  III   |           to more general names and notions. For, observing that several
 85    III,  III   |           thinks general natures or notions are anything else but such
 86    III,  III   |            most properly suit those notions they are applied to), I
 87    III,  V     |         more particular name called notions; as, by a peculiar right,
 88    III,  VI    |            way of communicating our notions. For thus he that would
 89    III,  VI    |        ridiculous. He that hath new notions will perhaps venture sometimes
 90    III,  IX    |         serve to convey the precise notions of things, and to express
 91    III,  IX    |    discourse, and suited to its own notions, whereby it designs not
 92    III,  IX    |       regulate themselves and their notions by, in such arbitrary ideas.~
 93    III,  IX    |             attention settled their notions, do yet hardly avoid the
 94    III,  IX    |            to observe the different notions men have of them? Which
 95    III,  IX    |         safely be ignorant of their notions: and therefore in the reading
 96    III,  IX    |      passing from confused or loose notions, they come to more strict
 97    III,  IX    |      mistakes in men’s disputes and notions, how great a part is owing
 98    III,  IX    |          very much on the thoughts, notions, and ideas of him that uses
 99    III,  IX    |          writers had very different notions, tempers, customs, ornaments,
100    III,  X     |          such unsteady and confused notions as they have, contenting
101    III,  X     |          very obscure and uncertain notions annexed to them. Men take
102    III,  X     |        mistakes who have no settled notions, as to dispossess a vagrant
103    III,  X     |        black, &c., and had constant notions of the ideas signified by
104    III,  X     |            use, they charm men into notions far remote from the truth
105    III,  X     |            no wonder that the wrong notions annexed to them should not
106    III,  X     |             regular marks of agreed notions, which in truth are no more
107    III,  X     |        stand for substances. In our notions concerning Substances, we
108    III,  XI    |            men should have the same notions, and should talk of nothing
109    III,  XI    |       scarce to be expected. Vulgar notions suit vulgar discourses:
110    III,  XI    |            to have had the clearest notions, and applied to them their
111    III,  XI    |             they have but imperfect notions of things, apply them at
112    III,  XI    |             perfectly, but make the notions to which they apply those
113    III,  XI    |         terms to suit their precise notions, will, notwithstanding their
114     IV,  III   |            being, in respect of our notions, not much more remote from
115     IV,  III   |          means frame to himself any notions about seeing. The ignorance

118     IV,  IV    |            species, in the ordinary notions which we have been used
119     IV,  V     |            Some confused or obscure notions have served their turns;
120     IV,  V     |              Who knows not what odd notions many men’s heads are filled
121     IV,  VI    |        clearer way; yet those wrong notions of essences or species having
122     IV,  VI    |            and examined how far our notions, even in these, reach with
123     IV,  VII   |         true knowledge, that if our notions be wrong, loose, or unsteady,

125     IV,  X     |    emancipate ourselves from vulgar notions, and raise our thoughts,
126     IV,  X     |            lead us too far from the notions on which the philosophy
