  1    Int        |   understanding, I can discover the powers thereof; how far they reach;
  2    Int        |           we have well surveyed the powers of our own minds, and made
  3    Int        |     understandings, examine our own powers, and see to what things
  4      I,  III  |         their parts, faculties, and powers industriously that way,
  5      I,  III  |            organs of our bodies and powers of our minds happen to be
  6      I,  III  |         upon the right use of those powers nature hath bestowed upon
  7     II,  I    |         operations, proceeding from powers intrinsical and proper to
  8     II,  VI   |             the Will; and these two powers or abilities in the mind
  9     II,  VIII |            are allowed to be barely powers; though they are as much
 10     II,  VIII |             objects themselves, but powers to produce various sensations
 11     II,  VIII |        qualities, which are but the powers of several combinations
 12     II,  VIII |            These are usually called powers.~The first of these, as
 13     II,  VIII |              The other two are only powers to act differently upon
 14     II,  VIII |            upon other things: which powers result from the different
 15     II,  VIII |       latter sorts of qualities are powers barely, and nothing but
 16     II,  VIII |             barely, and nothing but powers, relating to several other
 17     II,  VIII |           the second sort, viz, the powers to produce several ideas
 18     II,  VIII |          called and esteemed barely powers. v.g. The idea of heat or
 19     II,  VIII |            something more than mere powers in it. But when we consider
 20     II,  VIII |             but effects produced by powers in it. Whereas, if rightly
 21     II,  VIII |             are all of them equally powers in the sun, depending on
 22     II,  VIII |         qualities, and not for bare powers. The reason why the one
 23     II,  VIII |             the other only for bare powers, seems to be, because the
 24     II,  VIII |          not the effects of certain powers placed in the modification
 25     II,  VIII |            nothing else but several powers in them, depending on those
 26     II,  XII  |            sort of figure, with the powers of motion, thought and reasoning,
 27     II,  XXI  |             of it. But since active powers make so great a part of
 28     II,  XXI  |            perhaps, so truly active powers as our hasty thoughts are
 29     II,  XXI  |               what are they but the powers of different bodies, in
 30     II,  XXI  |           the clearest ideas of the powers which produce these actions. (
 31     II,  XXI  |          Will and understanding two powers in mind or spirit. This,
 32     II,  XXI  |              not real beings. These powers of the mind, viz. of perceiving,
 33     II,  XXI  |            he himself wills it.~16. Powers, belonging to agents. It
 34     II,  XXI  |            is it that sees not that powers belong only to agents, and
 35     II,  XXI  |           of substances, and not of powers themselves? So that this
 36     II,  XXI  |           these being all different powers in the mind, or in the man,
 37     II,  XXI  |      understanding on the will.~19. Powers are relations, not agents.
 38     II,  XXI  |          operates, and exerts these powers; it is the man that does
 39     II,  XXI  |        power, or is able to do. For powers are relations, not agents:
 40     II,  XXI  |             both of them have their powers of operating, else neither
 41     II,  XXI  |            thoughts of the mind and powers of the body are uninterruptedly
 42     II,  XXI  |       indifferency of the operative powers of the man, which remaining
 43     II,  XXI  |           effects barely of passive powers in those subjects, which
 44     II,  XXI  |     preserve us from mistakes about powers and actions, which grammar,
 45     II,  XXII |    circumstances; and also of their powers fitted for those actions:
 46     II,  XXII |            substances wherein these powers are, when they exert this
 47     II,  XXIII|            Their active and passive powers a great part of our complex
 48     II,  XXIII|           to be reckoned its active powers, and passive capacities,
 49     II,  XXIII|             one we call iron: which powers pass for inherent qualities
 50     II,  XXIII|     substance, being as apt, by the powers we observe in it, to change
 51     II,  XXIII|      subjects, discover to us those powers which do thereby mediately
 52     II,  XXIII|             considered, nothing but powers in it to produce those ideas
 53     II,  XXIII|       discovers to us these several powers; which therefore we look
 54     II,  XXIII|           idea of it. For all those powers that we take cognizance
 55     II,  XXIII|          that I have reckoned these powers amongst the simple ideas
 56     II,  XXIII|            substances; though these powers considered in themselves,
 57     II,  XXIII|      particular substances. For the powers that are severally in them
 58     II,  XXIII|           Nor are we to wonder that powers make a great part of our
 59     II,  XXIII|         shown, are nothing but bare powers. For the colour and taste
 60     II,  XXIII|            or anodyne virtues, mere powers, depending on its primary
 61     II,  XXIII|          these, are nothing but the powers those substances have to
 62     II,  XXIII|           called active and passive powers: all which powers, as far
 63     II,  XXIII|           passive powers: all which powers, as far as we have any notice
 64     II,  XXIII|            in sensible effects.~10. Powers thus make a great part of
 65     II,  XXIII|           of particular substances. Powers therefore justly make a
 66     II,  XXIII|          that make it up to be only powers; as the power of being melted,
 67     II,  XXIII|          also nothing but different powers. For, to speak truly, yellowness
 68     II,  XXIII|              These are both equally powers in the sun, operating, by
 69     II,  XXIII|      discovery of the qualities and powers of substances suited to
 70     II,  XXIII|         several other qualities and powers, which it is better to have
 71     II,  XXIII|           i.e. all their qualities, powers, causes, consequences, and
 72     II,  XXIII|          truly considered, are only powers, however we are apt to take
 73     II,  XXX  |          being in us the effects of powers in things without us, ordained
 74     II,  XXX  |           answer and agree to those powers of things which produce
 75     II,  XXXI |          but the effects of certain powers in things, fitted and ordained
 76     II,  XXXI | correspondent and adequate to those powers: and we are sure they agree
 77     II,  XXXI |        being nothing, in truth, but powers to excite such ideas in
 78     II,  XXXI |           signify nothing but those powers which are in things to excite
 79     II,  XXXI |         Because those qualities and powers of substances, whereof we

 81     II,  XXXI |           sure that we know all the powers that are in any one body,
 82     II,  XXXI |            its properties.~9. Their powers usually make up our complex
 83     II,  XXXI |         species. Which both are but powers; the one to affect our eyes
 84     II,  XXXI |        fixedness, two other passive powers, in relation to the operation
 85     II,  XXXI |            in aqua regia, two other powers, relating to the operation
 86     II,  XXXI |         Substances have innumerable powers not contained in our complex
 87     II,  XXXI |        adequate complex idea of the powers of any substance existing,
 88     II,  XXXI |          the secondary qualities or powers of any substance, we should
 89     II,  XXXI |          that thing. For, since the powers or qualities that are observable
 90     II,  XXXII|           must be suitable to those powers he has placed in external
 91     II,  XXXII|            and thus answering those powers, they are what they should
 92     II,  XXXII|             being answerable to the powers in external objects to produce
 93     II,  XXXII|            are there, answering the powers appointed by God to produce
 94     II,  XXXII|           in the active and passive powers it has in reference to other
 95    III,  VI   |            and reasoning, and other powers flow, and on which his so
 96    III,  VI   |    attributing those operations and powers we find in ourselves to
 97    III,  VI   |        those sensible qualities and powers we observe in it; but the
 98    III,  VIII |            the most frequent are of powers: v.g. “a man is white,”
 99    III,  IX   |           ideas, being most of them powers, in relation to changes
100    III,  IX   |       constitution, and nothing but powers, either active or passive,

102    III,  XI   |             ideas of substances are powers which lie not obvious to
103     IV,  III  |       cogitation within the natural powers of matter, examined over
104     IV,  III  |             what other qualities or powers these substances have or
105     IV,  III  |    knowledge of the co-existence of powers in bodies extends but a
106     IV,  III  |           little way. But as to the powers of substances to change
107     IV,  III  |          discovery of most of these powers, and be certain that they

111     IV,  III  |          and our insight into their powers and operations had been
112     IV,  III  |            much greater.~17. Of the powers that co-exist in spirits

115     IV,  III  |             of their constitutions, powers, and operations: and of
116     IV,  III  |        natures, conditions, states, powers, and several constitutions

119     IV,  VI   |          depend those qualities and powers we observe in them. For
120     IV,  VI   |             qualities, actions, and powers are owing to something without
