  5      I,  III   |         so; since it is hard to conceive how there should be innate
  6      I,  III   |       those foundations which I conceive are the only true ones,
  7     II,  I     |      contemplate ideas; nor can conceive it any more necessary for

 10     II,  I     |         have conveyed any in, I conceive that ideas in the understanding
 11     II,  III   |     simple ideas. The better to conceive the ideas we receive from
 12     II,  IV    |     belongs to body, whereby we conceive it to fill space. The idea

 24     II,  XIII  |     without solidity, as we can conceive body or space without motion,
 25     II,  XIV   |         go about it, may easily conceive in his mind the beginning
 26     II,  XIV   |        as 5639; and may as well conceive the duration of 50,000 years

 28     II,  XV    |         other beings, we easily conceive in God infinite duration,
 29     II,  XV    |   beings, it is near as hard to conceive any existence, or to have
 30     II,  XV    |     therefore, though we cannot conceive any duration without succession,
 31     II,  XV    |         of duration; yet we can conceive the eternal duration of
 32     II,  XV    |      great variety we do or can conceive, and may afford matter to
 33     II,  XVII  |       room for more; nor can we conceive anywhere a stop to a further

 36     II,  XVII  |         duration forces them to conceive, that whatever has duration,
 37     II,  XVII  |    matter. Which consequence, I conceive, is very ill collected,
 38     II,  XVIII |       in communication, readily conceive those ideas in their minds;—
 39     II,  XXI   |         its sensible ideas; nor conceive any alteration to be made,
 40     II,  XXI   |     shall find it is because we conceive not a tennis-ball to think,

 42     II,  XXI   |         their causes, we cannot conceive anything else to be in any
 43     II,  XXII  |  complex idea we would have him conceive; so that it has in it no

 45     II,  XXII  |        I say, I think we cannot conceive it to be any other but these

 48     II,  XXIII |       points, one may certainly conceive a distance, and a change
 49     II,  XXIII |     between two spirits; and so conceive their motion, their approach
 50     II,  XXIII |    itself: which we can neither conceive without parts, they being
 51     II,  XXIII |        is no more difficulty to conceive how a substance we know
 52     II,  XXIII |       since it is not harder to conceive how thinking should exist

 55     II,  XXVII |       same place, yet we cannot conceive but that they must necessarily
 56     II,  XXVII |       though it seems easier to conceive in simple substances or
 57     II,  XXVII |        it in every case; but to conceive and judge of it aright,
 58     II,  XXVII |         or no, it is plain they conceive personal identity preserved

 60     II,  XXVII |      without any difficulty, to conceive the same person at the resurrection,

 62     II,  XXVII |        be united. Indeed it may conceive the substance whereof it

 70    III,  I     |       others the more easily to conceive those operations they experimented
 71    III,  II    |       able to make. Thus we may conceive how words, which were by
 72    III,  V     |        existing, which we would conceive; but our thoughts terminate
 73    III,  VI    |         ourselves, and which we conceive to have more perfection
 74    III,  VI    |    limitation: nor, as I humbly conceive, do we, between GOD and
 75    III,  VI    |       narrow understandings can conceive of Him.~12. Of finite spirits

 81     IV,  II    |      intelligible that he did), conceive how bodies without us can
 82     IV,  III   |       from our comprehension to conceive that GOD can, if he pleases,

 84     IV,  III   |      motion which we can no way conceive motion able to produce,
 85     IV,  III   | produced in a subject we cannot conceive capable of them, as well
 86     IV,  III   |       as in a subject we cannot conceive the motion of matter can
 87     IV,  III   |       matter, the difficulty to conceive either will, whilst either

 89     IV,  III   |         are no such, because we conceive nothing of them, is no better

 94     IV,  X     |      For it is as impossible to conceive that ever bare incogitative
 95     IV,  X     |         lump? Is it possible to conceive it can add motion to itself,
 96     IV,  X     |     whether he cannot as easily conceive matter produced by nothing,
 97     IV,  X     |         For it is impossible to conceive that matter, either with
 98     IV,  X     |        body that we know or can conceive. And therefore, if matter
 99     IV,  X     |         Why? because you cannot conceive how it can be made out of
100     IV,  X     |        since we cannot possibly conceive it? I answer, No. Because
101     IV,  X     |      because we cannot possibly conceive the manner of their production.
102     IV,  X     |     their production. We cannot conceive how anything but impulse
