Book,  Chapter

  1   Read         |       my defence, that the same notion, having different respects,
  2   Read         |        every side; and when the notion is new, as I confess some
  3   Read         |       little left either of the notion or proof of spirits. If
  4    Int         |  whatever is meant by phantasm, notion, species, or whatever it
  5      I,  I     |       they be unknown? To say a notion is imprinted on the mind,
  6      I,  I     |         will it appear that any notion is originally by nature
  7      I,  I     |       Or that the child has any notion or apprehension of that
  8      I,  II    |         the principle or common notion,) viz. “Virtue is the best
  9      I,  III   |       have a clear and distinct notion of it. And, I suppose, there
 10      I,  III   |      idea of a Deity. Without a notion of a law-maker, it is impossible
 11      I,  III   |         is impossible to have a notion of a law, and an obligation
 12      I,  III   |        there was to be found no notion of a God, no religion? Nicholaus
 13      I,  III   |        all mankind everywhere a notion of a God, (whereof yet history
 14      I,  III   |        or the absence of such a notion out of men’s minds, any
 15      I,  III   |        of mankind had neither a notion of any such thing nor a
 16      I,  III   |       if they carry with it the notion of excellency, greatness,
 17      I,  III   |       so brutish as to want the notion of a God, than that they
 18      I,  III   |      they should be without any notion of numbers, or fire.~10.
 19      I,  III   |      the suitableness of such a notion to the principles of common
 20      I,  III   |         received so important a notion, it could not easily be
 21      I,  III   |      could be inferred from the notion of a God, were it to be
 22      I,  III   |   person in the world who has a notion of a God, who has not also
 23      I,  III   |      certainly neither have any notion of such a thing, nor name
 24      I,  III   |       removed from any name, or notion, of a God, till some one
 25      I,  III   |    would easily lead him to the notion of a God; which having once
 26      I,  III   |         expect it should be the notion of his Maker, as a mark
 27      I,  III   |      late is it before any such notion is discoverable in children?
 28      I,  III   |        resemble the opinion and notion of the teacher, than represent
 29      I,  III   |     will scarce prove an innate notion of him.~15. Gross ideas
 30      I,  III   |          What true or tolerable notion of a Deity could they have,
 31      I,  III   |     proof that they had no true notion of God, where unity, infinity,
 32      I,  III   |        be a reason to think the notion of God innate, because all
 33      I,  III   |        a child, and had no more notion of colours than one born
 34      I,  III   |       may live long without any notion of such a Being. And if
 35      I,  III   |         hath by talk put such a notion into his head, he may perhaps
 36     II,  I     |       is, I suspect, a confused notion, taken up to serve an hypothesis;
 37     II,  IV    |         that I think the common notion of solidity will allow,
 38     II,  IX    |        cannot make him have any notion of it.~3. Arises in sensation
 39     II,  X     |         after, there is no more notion nor memory of colours left
 40     II,  XIII  |         speaking, in the common notion of place, we do not always
 41     II,  XIII  |       prevent in so important a notion the confusion and errors
 42     II,  XIII  |     They who first ran into the notion of accidents, as a sort
 43     II,  XIV   |         ideas. That we have our notion of succession and duration
 44     II,  XIV   |    observation they can have no notion of duration, whatever may
 45     II,  XIV   |       his own thoughts, got the notion or idea of duration, he
 46     II,  XIV   |     duration, he can apply that notion to things which exist while
 47     II,  XIV   |      understandings, we get the notion of succession; which, if
 48     II,  XIV   |       not so properly under the notion of time; as appears by such
 49     II,  XIV   |       of other appearances; the notion of duration still remaining
 50     II,  XIV   |         do not at all alter the notion of duration, which is the
 51     II,  XIV   |      foot and a cubit alter the notion of extension to those who
 52     II,  XIV   |       absurd, than to apply the notion I have of the moving of
 53     II,  XIV   |     dependent on our ideas. The notion of an hour, day, or year,
 54     II,  XIV   |      will, which I think is the notion we have of eternity; of
 55     II,  XIV   |       infinity we have no other notion than we have of the infinity
 56     II,  XVII  |        more a positive distinct notion of than a mariner has of
 57     II,  XVII  |         is, he hath no distinct notion at all: and could he always
 58     II,  XVII  |         the difference of their notion of duration, when applied
 59     II,  XVII  |        and acknowledge that the notion they have of duration forces
 60     II,  XVII  |    other existence, to have the notion of an eternal, wise Being,
 61     II,  XXI   |     misled many into a confused notion of so many distinct agents
 62     II,  XXI   |          there liberty, and our notion of it, presently ceases.~
 63     II,  XXI   |        the name of faculties, a notion of their operating, has,
 64     II,  XXII  |       such custom, there was no notion of any such actions; no
 65     II,  XXII  |       confess myself to have no notion nor idea of; and so it is
 66     II,  XXIII |  examine himself concerning his notion of pure substance in general,
 67     II,  XXIII |         having no other idea or notion of matter, but something
 68     II,  XXIII |     subsist, we have as clear a notion of the substance of spirit,
 69     II,  XXIII |         from our not having any notion of the substance of spirit,
 70     II,  XXIII |        as we have any notice or notion of them, terminate only
 71     II,  XXIII |         iron, we should have no notion of any power it had at all
 72     II,  XXIII |       as clear a perception and notion of immaterial substances
 73     II,  XXIII |      capable of motion.~31. The notion of spirit involves no more
 74     II,  XXIII |        of body. Lastly, if this notion of immaterial spirit may
 75     II,  XXIII |  existence of body; because the notion of body is cumbered with
 76     II,  XXIII |       instanced anything in our notion of spirit more perplexed,
 77     II,  XXIII |    contradiction, than the very notion of body includes in it;
 78     II,  XXIII |    anything can follow from the notion of an immaterial knowing
 79     II,  XXIII |        to be satisfied with our notion of immaterial spirit, as
 80     II,  XXIII |  immaterial spirit, as with our notion of body, and the existence
 81     II,  XXIII |       go to make up the idea or notion we have of God.~36. No ideas
 82     II,  XXIII |  ourselves, and consequently no notion of it at all, we have no
 83     II,  XXIV  |         view; and so under that notion considers those several
 84     II,  XXV   |       man, may yet agree in the notion of a father; which is a
 85     II,  XXV   |         of a father; which is a notion superinduced to the substance,
 86     II,  XXV   |       which they do belong. The notion we have of a father or brother
 87     II,  XXV   |       sufficient to give me the notion of a relation; but to the
 88     II,  XXV   | attributed to. Thus, having the notion that one laid the egg out
 89     II,  XXV   |      relations that we have any notion of; and in some that seem
 90     II,  XXVI  |         on one another, got the notion of cause and effect, viz.
 91     II,  XXVI  |        we may observe, that the notion of cause and effect has
 92     II,  XXVIII|       that I have forgot my own notion of a law, when I make the
 93     II,  XXVIII|         the rule; and so hath a notion of moral goodness or evil,
 94     II,  XXVIII|      have ordinarily as clear a notion of the relation, as of the
 95     II,  XXVIII|       if not always, as clear a notion of the relation as we have
 96     II,  XXVIII|          and so have as clear a notion of brothers as of births,
 97     II,  XXVIII|   parsley-bed, I had as clear a notion of the relation of brothers
 98     II,  XXVIII|         skill of a midwife: the notion that the same woman contributed,
 99     II,  XXVIII|  descent, is enough to found my notion of their having, or not
100     II,  XXVIII|    using the same name.~20. The notion of relation is the same,
101     II,  XXVIII|        relations, I have a true notion of relation, by comparing
102     II,  XXXI  |         according to the common notion of light) to produce in
103     II,  XXXII |       conclude, a man having no notion of anything without him,
104    III,  VI    |  instantly vanishes: we have no notion of the one without the other,
105    III,  VI    |       hath or can have no other notion of spirit but by attributing
106    III,  VI    |      And even the most advanced notion we have of GOD is but attributing
107    III,  VI    |     according to the scholastic notion of the word species; since
108    III,  VI    |         the absurdity of such a notion. The essence of anything
109    III,  XI    |           know them, we have no notion, no idea at all. The whole
110     IV,  IV    |        is it to quit the common notion of species and essences,
111     IV,  V     |   propositions. To form a clear notion of truth, it is very necessary
112     IV,  VII   |         of man includes no such notion or idea in it. And therefore,
113     IV,  VIII  |       that thing had actually a notion of God, or would be cast
114     IV,  VIII  |      because neither having the notion of God, nor being cast into
115     IV,  X     |       which, I imagine, is that notion which men are aptest to
