1 Read | have written gives thee any desire that I should have gone 2 Read | brought to let it go abroad, I desire it should be understood 3 Read | of this Treatise, I shall desire him to read it through; 4 I, I | true in any other sense, I desire it may be shown; or at least, 5 I, II | confess, has put into man a desire of happiness and an aversion 6 I, II | concerning innate principles, I desire these men to say, whether 7 I, II | be examined and tried, I desire to know how first and innate 8 I, III | observation. And then I desire an instance of an idea, 9 I, III | are not in the memory, I desire him to explain himself, 10 II, VII | Inane. I grant all this, but desire any one to assign any simple 11 II, XIII | determined ideas. And I desire those who lay so much stress 12 II, XIII | plainly to evince it. For I desire any one so to divide a solid 13 II, XIII | without extension,—I shall desire them to consider, that, 14 II, XIV | call in such as he hath a desire or use of: but hinder the 15 II, XX | however caused in us.~6. Desire. The uneasiness a man finds 16 II, XX | with it, is that we call desire; which is greater or less, 17 II, XX | without it, there is no desire of it, nor endeavour after 18 II, XX | signify the lowest degree of desire, and that which is next 19 II, XX | the means to attain it. Desire also is stopped or abated 20 II, XX | consideration of a good we desire obtained by one we think 21 II, XX | in all men. For we love, desire, rejoice, and hope, only 22 II, XXI | large explain.~30. Will and desire must not be confounded. 23 II, XXI | like terms, that signify desire as well as volition, for 24 II, XXI | the affections, especially desire, and one put for the other; 25 II, XXI | perfectly distinguished from desire; which, in the very same 26 II, XXI | it is plain the will and desire run counter. I will the 27 II, XXI | tends one way, whilst my desire tends another, and that 28 II, XXI | there is pain, there is a desire to be rid of it), though 29 II, XXI | much more distinct from desire.~31. Uneasiness determines 30 II, XXI | uneasiness we may call, as it is, desire; which is an uneasiness 31 II, XXI | with this is always joined desire, equal to the pain or uneasiness 32 II, XXI | distinguishable from it. For desire being nothing but an uneasiness 33 II, XXI | attained, we may call it desire; nobody feeling pain that 34 II, XXI | not to be eased of, with a desire equal to that pain, and 35 II, XXI | inseparable from it. Besides this desire of ease from pain, there 36 II, XXI | good; and here also the desire and uneasiness are equal. 37 II, XXI | are equal. As much as we desire any absent good, so much 38 II, XXI | greatness; as all pain causes desire equal to itself: because 39 II, XXI | on and considered without desire. But so much as there is 40 II, XXI | as there is anywhere of desire, so much there is of uneasiness.~ 41 II, XXI | there is of uneasiness.~32. Desire is uneasiness. That desire 42 II, XXI | Desire is uneasiness. That desire is a state of uneasiness, 43 II, XXI | there that has not felt in desire what the wise man says of 44 II, XXI | to the greatness of the desire, which sometimes raises 45 II, XXI | uneasiness.~33. The uneasiness of desire determines the will. Good 46 II, XXI | action, is the uneasiness of desire, fixed on some absent good: 47 II, XXI | determine the will, until our desire, raised proportionably to 48 II, XXI | under, till it raises our desire; and the uneasiness of that 49 II, XXI | in love; or the impatient desire of revenge, keeps the will 50 II, XXI | whether this be not so, I desire every one to observe in 51 II, XXI | observe in himself.~40. Desire accompanies all uneasiness. 52 II, XXI | instanced in the uneasiness of desire, as that which determines 53 II, XXI | performed, without some desire accompanying it; which I 54 II, XXI | reason why the will and desire are so often confounded. 55 II, XXI | passions to be found without desire joined with it. I am sure 56 II, XXI | is uneasiness, there is desire. For we constantly desire 57 II, XXI | desire. For we constantly desire happiness; and whatever 58 II, XXI | beyond the present, and desire goes with our foresight, 59 II, XXI | enjoyment depends, is the desire to continue it, and fear 60 II, XXI | reaches no further.~42. All desire happiness. If it be further 61 II, XXI | asked,—What it is moves desire? I answer,—happiness, and 62 II, XXI | be the proper object of desire in general; yet all good, 63 II, XXI | move every particular man’s desire; but only that part, or 64 II, XXI | he can look upon without desire, pass by, and be content 65 II, XXI | study, when shame, or the desire to recommend himself to 66 II, XXI | happiness, they begin to desire it.~45. Why the greatest 67 II, XXI | determination of will or desire to the greatest apparent 68 II, XXI | it, and raised in us some desire: which then beginning to 69 II, XXI | Due consideration raises desire. And thus, by a due consideration, 70 II, XXI | mind, being only, which desire shall be next satisfied, 71 II, XXI | long as any uneasiness, any desire, remains in our mind, there 72 II, XXI | suspend the prosecution of any desire makes way for consideration. 73 II, XXI | prosecution of this or that desire; as every one daily may 74 II, XXI | during this suspension of any desire, before the will be determined 75 II, XXI | perfection of our nature, to desire, will, and act according 76 II, XXI | much a perfection, that desire, or the power of preferring, 77 II, XXI | mad already. The constant desire of happiness, and the constraint 78 II, XXI | to suspend any particular desire, and keep it from determining 79 II, XXI | not to be free; though the desire of some convenience to be 80 II, XXI | necessary compliance with our desire, set upon any particular, 81 II, XXI | scrutiny of each successive desire, whether the satisfaction 82 II, XXI | intellectual beings; and I desire it may be well considered, 83 II, XXI | good and evil of what we desire. What follows after that, 84 II, XXI | present satisfaction of any desire.~54. Government of our passions 85 II, XXI | leaving any relish, any desire of itself there, till, by 86 II, XXI | pass, that, though all men desire happiness, yet their wills 87 II, XXI | his happiness, it raises desire, and that proportionably 88 II, XXI | our present happiness, we desire not to venture the change; 89 II, XXI | often are not raised to the desire of the greatest absent good. 90 II, XXI | comes that, at any rate, we desire to be rid of the present 91 II, XXI | oftentimes a very great one, the desire being inflamed by a near 92 II, XXI | uneasiness, either of pain or desire, which is present. For, 93 II, XXI | give place to any present desire; and conclude with themselves 94 II, XXI | agreeable to everyone’s wish and desire: could we suppose their 95 II, XXI | to our happiness. All men desire happiness, that is past 96 II, XXI | being happy, till some new desire, by making them uneasy, 97 II, XXI | actions into pleasure and desire, if they will do but what 98 II, XXI | accompanied with that of desire. Desire is always moved 99 II, XXI | accompanied with that of desire. Desire is always moved by evil, 100 II, XXI | does not constantly move desire, because it may not make, 101 II, XXI | happiness. For all that we desire, is only to be happy. But, 102 II, XXI | But, though this general desire of happiness operates constantly 103 II, XXI | satisfaction of any particular desire can be suspended from determining 104 II, XXI | apparent good which we then desire makes a part of our real 105 II, XXI | by anything but his own desire, guided by his own judgment. 106 II, XXIII| to our present purpose, I desire him to put it into intelligible 107 III, VI | name is annexed to? And I desire any one but to reflect on 108 III, VI | with some obscurity. But I desire it may be considered, how 109 III, X | what fault it can be, to desire the explication of words 110 III, XI | a bird or no. And here I desire it may be considered, and 111 IV, III | never reach to all we might desire to know concerning those 112 IV, III | be expected, whilst the desire of esteem, riches, or power 113 IV, III | incurable ignorance of what we desire to know about them. I doubt 114 IV, IV | groundless and ridiculous. I desire then those who think there 115 IV, IV | what. But, after all, I desire it may be considered, that 116 IV, V | meditations if one should desire them to think only of the 117 IV, XI | knowledge of anything: I must desire him to consider, that, if 118 IV, XI | evidence is as great as we can desire, being as certain to us 119 IV, XII | never heard or thought of? I desire any one to consider, from 120 IV, XII | load of particulars. For I desire it may be considered, what 121 IV, XIV | capable of to excite in us a desire and endeavour after a better 122 IV, XVII | thing more which I shall desire to be considered concerning 123 IV, XVII | willing to find it, and desire to make the best use they
