Book,  Chapter

  1    Int        |             consider the discerning faculties of a man, as they are employed
  2    Int        |            its view; how far it has faculties to attain certainty; and
  3    Int        |         that they are suited to our faculties, and upon those grounds
  4      I,  I    |            the use of their natural faculties, may attain to all the knowledge
  5      I,  I    |            may observe in ourselves faculties fit to attain as easy and
  6      I,  I    |            do any of their inherent faculties.~3. Universal consent proves
  7      I,  II   |          application of our natural faculties. And I think they equally
  8      I,  II   |            For, since the reasoning faculties of the soul, which are almost
  9      I,  III  |            furnished man with those faculties which will serve for the
 10      I,  III  |        having endued man with those faculties of knowledge which he hath,
 11      I,  III  |         never employed their parts, faculties, and powers industriously
 12      I,  III  |            that the exercise of his faculties was bounded within the ways,
 13      I,  III  |            and a right use of their faculties: since the wise and considerate
 14      I,  III  |              For, being fitted with faculties to attain these, it is want
 15      I,  III  |        should be such as by our own faculties we cannot procure to ourselves;
 16      I,  III  |      different application of their faculties. To conclude: some ideas
 17      I,  III  |             offer themselves to our faculties more readily than others;
 18      I,  III  |          God having fitted men with faculties and means to discover, receive,
 19      I,  III  |        different use they put their faculties to. Whilst some (and those

 21      I,  III  |            the application of those faculties that were fitted by nature
 22     II,  I    |             exercise of those other faculties of enlarging, compounding,
 23     II,  II   |        intelligent beings, of whose faculties he has as little knowledge
 24     II,  VI   |            the mind are denominated faculties.~Of some of the modes of
 25     II,  VII  |          however furnished with the faculties of understanding and will,
 26     II,  VII  |         several degrees, that those faculties which he had endowed us
 27     II,  VII  |        being as ready to employ our faculties to avoid that, as to pursue
 28     II,  IX   |          knowledge and intellectual faculties above the condition of a
 29     II,  IX   |            them, and the duller the faculties are that are employed about
 30     II,  IX   |             of all our intellectual faculties, and the inlet of all knowledge
 31     II,  X    |        wanting, all the rest of our faculties are in a great measure useless.
 32     II,  XI   |             an excellency which the faculties of brutes do by no means
 33     II,  XI   |             or all of the foregoing faculties, an exact observation of
 34     II,  XI   |            any of the forementioned faculties, if wanting, or out of order,
 35     II,  XI   |          motion in the intellectual faculties, whereby they are deprived

 37     II,  XI   |              I think, are the first faculties and operations of the mind,
 38     II,  XI   |            the explication of these faculties of the mind to that of simple
 39     II,  XI   |            Because several of these faculties being exercised at first

 42     II,  XXI  |            to say we understand.~6. Faculties, not real beings. These
 43     II,  XXI  |      understanding and will are two faculties of the mind; a word proper
 44     II,  XXI  |             determines the inferior faculties; that it follows the dictates
 45     II,  XXI  |             this way of speaking of faculties has misled many into a confused
 46     II,  XXI  |   reasonable to suppose and talk of faculties as distinct beings that
 47     II,  XXI  |             and understanding to be faculties, by which the actions of
 48     II,  XXI  |            will. The attributing to faculties that which belonged not
 49     II,  XXI  |          the mind, with the name of faculties, a notion of their operating,
 50     II,  XXI  |            of the like invention of faculties, in the operations of the
 51     II,  XXI  |           Not that I deny there are faculties, both in the body and mind:
 52     II,  XXI  |            the fault has been, that faculties have been spoken of and
 53     II,  XXI  |             to direct the operative faculties of a man to motion or rest,
 54     II,  XXI  |             directing our operative faculties to some action, for some
 55     II,  XXI  |             to direct the operative faculties to motion or rest in particular
 56     II,  XXI  |        ideas we have, if we had but faculties acute enough to perceive
 57     II,  XXIII|         more, is uncertain.~12. Our faculties for discovery of the qualities
 58     II,  XXIII|             hath fitted our senses, faculties, and organs, to the conveniences
 59     II,  XXIII|      present condition, we want not faculties to attain. But it appears
 60     II,  XXIII|        being. We are furnished with faculties (dull and weak as they are)
 61     II,  XXIII|            though we cannot, by the faculties we have, attain to a perfect
 62     II,  XXIII|     creatures with a thousand other faculties and ways of perceiving things
 63     II,  XXIII|           their proper sources, our faculties will not reach. If we would
 64     II,  XXIII|          things, being destitute of faculties to attain it. And therefore
 65     II,  XXIX |           matter. If the organs, or faculties of perception, like wax
 66     II,  XXXII|           less use to us, if we had faculties to discern.~15. Though one
 67    III,  VI   | constitution of man, from which his faculties of moving, sensation, and
 68    III,  VI   |          better, or fewer and worse faculties than I have; and others
 69    III,  VI   |       because we know them not. Our faculties carry us no further towards
 70    III,  VI   |            to think, that where the faculties or outward frame so much
 71    III,  VI   |             beyond the reach of our faculties to attain a certain idea
 72    III,  VI   |             about him; and no other faculties to attain the knowledge
 73    III,  VI   |             s children had the same faculties, and thereby the same power
 74    III,  IX   |           another has not organs or faculties to attain; as the names
 75    III,  IX   |           ways of inquiry which our faculties are capable of. They being
 76     IV,  I    |           beyond the reach of human faculties, when the very discovery,
 77     IV,  II   |     greatest certainty we, with our faculties, and in our way of knowledge,
 78     IV,  III  |   Immateriality of the Soul, if our faculties cannot arrive at demonstrative
 79     IV,  III  |           doubt whether, with those faculties we have, we shall ever be
 80     IV,  III  |           have not eyes to see, nor faculties to perceive anything), out
 81     IV,  III  |            assistance of senses and faculties more or perfecter than we
 82     IV,  III  |           intellectual beings. What faculties, therefore, other species
 83     IV,  III  |             we can attain to by our faculties are very disproportionate
 84     IV,  III  |             want of ideas which our faculties are not able to give us
 85     IV,  III  |          things whereof our natural faculties give us no certain account
 86     IV,  III  |           any imperfection of their faculties, or uncertainty in the things
 87     IV,  IV   |            examine them by what our faculties can discover in them as
 88     IV,  VI   |        sorts of them; unless we had faculties acute enough to perceive
 89     IV,  VII  |            is to have no use of our faculties, to have no knowledge at
 90     IV,  X    |             furnished us with those faculties our minds are endowed with,
 91     IV,  XI   |      possibly have, and to which my faculties can attain, is the testimony
 92     IV,  XI   |         persuade ourselves that our faculties act and inform us right
 93     IV,  XI   |             the confidence that our faculties do not herein deceive us,
 94     IV,  XI   |             act anything but by our faculties; nor talk of knowledge itself,
 95     IV,  XI   |            but by the help of those faculties which are fitted to apprehend
 96     IV,  XI   |           condition needs. For, our faculties being suited not to the
 97     IV,  XI   |          itself to our apprehensive faculties, and actually produce that
 98     IV,  XI   |           man is, endowed with such faculties, and thereby furnished with
 99     IV,  XII  |            that the weakness of our faculties in this state of mediocrity
100     IV,  XII  |      talents reach not, nor are our faculties, as I guess, able to advance.~
101     IV,  XII  |            conclude that, since our faculties are not fitted to penetrate
102     IV,  XII  |          creatures, to employ those faculties we have about what they
103     IV,  XIII |              The application of our faculties voluntary; but, they being
104     IV,  XIII |           or withholding any of our faculties from this or that sort of
105     IV,  XIII |             the pains to employ his faculties, as he should, to inform
106     IV,  XIV  |             else. The understanding faculties being given to man, not
107     IV,  XIV  |           it. Thus the mind has two faculties conversant about truth and
108     IV,  XVII |          all our other intellectual faculties, and indeed contains two
109     IV,  XVII |             use, of their reasoning faculties without them. Some eyes
110     IV,  XVII |              and in this some men’s faculties far outgo others. Till algebra,
111     IV,  XVII |            him use those discerning faculties he has given him, to keep
112     IV,  XVII |          makes use of the light and faculties God has given him, and seeks
113     IV,  XVII |            light, and misuses those faculties which were given him to
114     IV,  XVIII|           by the use of its natural faculties; viz. by sensation or reflection.~
115     IV,  XVIII|          reason; I mean our natural faculties; and can by no means receive
116     IV,  XVIII|            the natural use of their faculties, come to make the discovery
117     IV,  XVIII|            since no evidence of our faculties, by which we receive such
118     IV,  XVIII|            given us; render all our faculties useless; wholly destroy
119     IV,  XVIII|           by the natural use of our faculties, we can have no knowledge
120     IV,  XVIII|            discovery of our natural faculties, and above reason, are,
121     IV,  XVIII|         matters wherein our natural faculties are able to give a probable
122     IV,  XVIII|            our mind, by its natural faculties and notions, cannot judge,
