1 Int | the opinions of mankind, observe their opposition, and at 2 I, I | characters, when we may observe in ourselves faculties fit 3 I, I | But I withal beg leave to observe, that it lays open the weakness 4 I, I | the use of reason may we observe in children, a long time 5 I, I | innate. For, if we will observe, we shall find it still 6 I, I | those ideas in his mind, and observe whether they agree or disagree, 7 I, I | will but take the pains to observe what passes in the understanding, 8 I, II | For I must take leave to observe:—~16. These five either 9 I, III | law, and an obligation to observe it. Besides the atheists 10 I, III | true God? He that shall observe in children the progress 11 I, III | must own, as far as I can observe, I can find none, and would 12 II, I | reflection, evident, if we observe children. I see no reason, 13 II, I | child from its birth, and observe the alterations that time 14 II, I | convey to it. And so we may observe how the mind, by degrees, 15 II, VIII | body, which I think we may observe to produce simple ideas 16 II, VIII | our senses being able to observe a likeness or unlikeness 17 II, IX | insufficient. How often may a man observe in himself, that whilst 18 II, IX | body. Any one may easily observe this in his own thoughts, 19 II, IX | themselves neither hear nor observe. And therefore it is not 20 II, X | imprinted on the memory, we may observe,—that some of them have 21 II, X | These are defects we may observe in the memory of one man 22 II, X | and the endeavours one may observe in them to hit the notes 23 II, XI | mind may reflect on and observe in itself It is of that 24 II, XI | The next operation we may observe in the mind about its ideas 25 II, XI | make themselves, as one may observe among the new and unusual 26 II, XI | to. For it is evident we observe no footsteps in them of 27 II, XII | minds, and with attention observe how it repeats, adds together, 28 II, XII | shall find, if we warily observe the originals of our notions, 29 II, XIII | we do not always exactly observe the distance from these 30 II, XIII | which we have some reason to observe.~8. Place relative to particular 31 II, XIV | to any one who will but observe what passes in his own mind, 32 II, XIV | train of the ideas they observe to succeed one another in 33 II, XIV | after another, and thereby observe and find succession where 34 II, XIV | succession where he could observe no motion.~7. Very slow 35 II, XIV | think, is only to mind and observe what the ideas are that 36 II, XIV | whether he will heedfully observe and consider them.~16. Ideas, 37 II, XIV | duration to all that could observe it, as well without as with 38 II, XVI | ideas: and one may often observe them discourse and reason 39 II, XVII | be got from the power we observe in ourselves of repeating, 40 II, XIX | thinking, which the mind may observe in itself, and so have as 41 II, XX | reflect on ourselves, and observe how these, under various 42 II, XXI | perceivable ideas. For we cannot observe any alteration to be made 43 II, XXI | hereafter have occasion to observe.~4. The clearest idea of 44 II, XXI | moving in body, whilst we observe it only to transfer, but 45 II, XXI | so, I desire every one to observe in himself.~40. Desire accompanies 46 II, XXI | This, I think, any one may observe in himself and others,—That 47 II, XXI | sufficing to my purpose to observe, that gold or saffron has 48 II, XXIII | as apt, by the powers we observe in it, to change some sensible 49 II, XXIII | the spring of a clock, and observe upon what peculiar structure 50 II, XXIII | sensible qualities we now observe in them, would perhaps be 51 II, XXIII | proportion to what we find and observe in ourselves. And though 52 II, XXIII | they think they every day observe. Do we not see (will they 53 II, XXVI | of things, we cannot but observe that several particular, 54 II, XXVI | all other cases, we may observe, that the notion of cause 55 II, XXVI | those things which we can observe in the ordinary course of 56 II, XXVI | distances is very obvious to observe; as above, below, a mile 57 II, XXVIII| relations: wherein we may observe, that mankind have fitted 58 II, XXVIII| the mind is easily able to observe the relation any action 59 II, XXVIII| been said give me leave to observe:~18. All relations terminate 60 II, XXIX | undetermined. Thus we may observe men who, not forbearing 61 II, XXIX | what has been said, we may observe how much names, as supposed 62 II, XXXI | thence any action he should observe to agree with it, had thereby 63 II, XXXII | motions of the mind, and observe what course it usually takes 64 II, XXXII | it is, that we may often observe that, when any one sees 65 II, XXXIII| scarce any one that does not observe something that seems odd 66 III, III | from their beginning, and observe by what degrees we proceed, 67 III, III | acquaintance have made them observe that there are a great many 68 III, III | From whence it is easy to observe, that the essences of the 69 III, III | and real, we may further observe, that, in the species of 70 III, V | first particularity I shall observe in them, is, that the abstract 71 III, V | in them, we shall easily observe how these essences of the 72 III, V | it being so obvious to observe great store of words in 73 III, V | minds. Another thing we may observe from what has been said 74 III, V | since every man himself may observe, I may spare myself the 75 III, V | fashionable sounds, and observe what ideas are or are not 76 III, VI | sensible ideas which we observe in them; which, however 77 III, VI | qualities which we know and observe in them. That there should 78 III, VI | qualities and powers we observe in it; but the ranking of 79 III, VI | complex idea, wherein they observe several individuals to agree, 80 III, VI | purpose. In all which we may observe, that the more general term 81 III, VI | in them, and wherein they observe often several individuals 82 III, VII | must think in train, and observe the dependence of his thoughts 83 III, VII | into his own thoughts, and observe nicely the several postures 84 III, VIII | of our ideas: for if we observe them, we shall find that 85 III, IX | signification. For if we will observe how children learn languages, 86 III, IX | wherein it is not easy to observe the different notions men 87 III, IX | infinite. He that shall but observe what a great variety of 88 III, IX | been said, several people observe several properties in the 89 III, IX | been said, it is easy to observe what has been before remarked, 90 III, X | first original. One may observe, in all languages, certain 91 III, X | be so; and every one may observe in himself and others whether 92 III, X | controversy, wherein one shall not observe, if he read with attention, 93 III, X | no means signify. We may observe that in the general names 94 III, X | arguings one may every day observe in conversation make it 95 III, X | informed: only I cannot but observe how little the preservation 96 III, XI | simple ideas wherein they observe the individuals of each 97 IV, IV | how things are: so a man observe but the agreement of his 98 IV, V | the nature of it, as to observe how the mind distinguishes 99 IV, V | For if we will curiously observe the way our mind takes in 100 IV, V | of truth: we must, I say, observe two sorts of propositions 101 IV, VI | practised. Every one may observe how common it is for names 102 IV, VI | doubtfulness of terms, it is fit to observe that certainty is twofold: 103 IV, VI | qualities and powers we observe in them. For which, perhaps, 104 IV, VI | part of those qualities we observe in them, and of which our 105 IV, VI | which those qualities we observe in them, and would inform 106 IV, VII | which it is obvious to observe that the mind is perfectly 107 IV, VII | it may not be amiss to observe concerning these general 108 IV, XI | everything. Whereby yet we may observe how foolish and vain a thing 109 IV, XIII | application endeavour to observe accurately all that is visible 110 IV, XIII | cannot but in some measure observe the agreement or disagreement 111 IV, XV | never took the pains to observe the demonstration, hearing 112 IV, XVI | I had an opportunity to observe, confirming it, that most 113 IV, XVI | Things, as far as we can observe, lessen and augment, as 114 IV, XVII | a syllogism. If we will observe the actings of our own minds, 115 IV, XVII | and clearest, when we only observe the connexion of the proof, 116 IV, XVII | representations, they neglect to observe, or do not easily perceive, 117 IV, XVII | use of the judgment is to observe right, and take a true estimate 118 IV, XVII | really they are; but we observe it only by our ideas.~19.
