  1   Read         |         the world for a ground or measure of a moral relation is—that
  2   Read         |         to prove that the general measure of what men called virtue
  3      I,  II    |        which is the true and only measure of virtue when virtue is
  4      I,  III   |     enjoyed these in a very great measure, who yet, for want of a
  5     II,  X     |          faculties are in a great measure useless. And we in our thoughts,
  6     II,  X     |           after the ordinary way, measure all others by themselves;
  7     II,  XI    |  difference, consists, in a great measure, the exactness of judgment,
  8     II,  XIII  |       would cross that purpose to measure it by anything else; but
  9     II,  XIII  |           those men, who take the measure and possibility of all being
 10     II,  XIV   |          not.~12. This train, the measure of other successions. So
 11     II,  XIV   |          man, is, as it were, the measure and standard of all other
 12     II,  XIV   |        mind to do, is to get some measure of this common duration,
 13     II,  XIV   |          we call time.~18. A good measure of time must divide its
 14     II,  XIV   |    application of the standard or measure we make use of to the thing
 15     II,  XIV   | succession can be put together to measure one another. And nothing
 16     II,  XIV   |      another. And nothing being a measure of duration but duration,
 17     II,  XIV   |           any standing, unvarying measure of duration, which consists
 18     II,  XIV   |       serve well for a convenient measure of time, but what has divided
 19     II,  XIV   |        reason made use of for the measure of duration. But the distinction
 20     II,  XIV   |      motion and duration were the measure one of another. For men,
 21     II,  XIV   |      regular appearances serve to measure out the distances of duration
 22     II,  XIV   |           would serve mankind for measure of time as well were the
 23     II,  XIV   |      notice of, would not fail to measure out the course of succession,
 24     II,  XIV   |           would not have a better measure of time than the Romans
 25     II,  XIV   |     beginning, count by years, or measure their time by periods that
 26     II,  XIV   |          to make them serve for a measure; though exacter search has
 27     II,  XIV   |     reckon time by (though not to measure the parts of duration exactly)
 28     II,  XIV   |          confidently for an exact measure of duration, has, as I said,
 29     II,  XIV   |    certainty and exactness of the measure by motion, as well as any
 30     II,  XIV   |          All that we can do for a measure of time is, to take such
 31     II,  XIV   |         equality we have no other measure, but such as the train of
 32     II,  XIV   |        equality.~22. Time not the measure of motion. One thing seems
 33     II,  XIV   |      should be defined to be the “measure of motion”: whereas it is
 34     II,  XIV   |          so little on it, that to measure motion, space is as necessary
 35     II,  XIV   |          one who will estimate or measure motion so as to judge right
 36     II,  XIV   |       would not at all help us to measure time, any more than the
 37     II,  XIV   |  periodical returns, we could not measure ourselves, or signify to
 38     II,  XIV   |       different measures.~24. Our measure of time applicable to duration
 39     II,  XIV   |       mind having once got such a measure of time as the annual revolution
 40     II,  XIV   |           the sun, can apply that measure to duration wherein that
 41     II,  XIV   |          to duration wherein that measure itself did not exist, and
 42     II,  XIV   |      reckon as right, and thereby measure durations as well, as if
 43     II,  XIV   |      bodies at all.~25. As we can measure space in our thoughts where
 44     II,  XIV   |          our thoughts, apply this measure of a year to duration before
 45     II,  XIV   |         or motion, as we can this measure of a mile to space beyond
 46     II,  XIV   |     utmost bodies; and by the one measure duration, where there was
 47     II,  XIV   |           as well as by the other measure space in our thoughts, where
 48     II,  XIV   |        hours, I can as distinctly measure in my thoughts the duration
 49     II,  XIV   |     duration of the thing I would measure.~29. The duration of anything
 50     II,  XIV   |    co-existent with the motion we measure it by. Hence we see that
 51     II,  XIV   |      co-existent to the motion we measure by, or any other periodical
 52     II,  XV    |          reckon, and from them we measure our portions of those infinite
 53     II,  XV    |            All which distances we measure by preconceived ideas of
 54     II,  XV    |       side, the ordinary smallest measure we have of either is looked
 55     II,  XV    |           from whence we take our measure of the one; and the parts
 56     II,  XV    |           from whence we take the measure of the other, may be interrupted
 57     II,  XV    |         figure; but is one common measure of all existence whatsoever,
 58     II,  XVII  |         of succession, whereby we measure time and duration, as hours,
 59     II,  XVII  |           is to adjust a standing measure to a growing bulk; and therefore
 60     II,  XVII  |        may as soon with his chain measure out infinite space, as a
 61     II,  XXIII |        colour, and is, in a great measure, pellucid, with a mixture
 62     II,  XXVI  |           duration, from which we measure, and to which we thereby
 63     II,  XXVIII|          vices.~8. Divine law the measure of sin and duty. First,
 64     II,  XXVIII|        ALMIGHTY.~9. Civil law the measure of crimes and innocence.
 65     II,  XXVIII|         10. Philosophical law the measure of virtue and vice. Thirdly,
 66     II,  XXVIII|           without blame. Thus the measure of what is everywhere called
 67     II,  XXVIII|          virtue and vice.~11. The measure that men commonly apply
 68     II,  XXVIII|           That this is the common measure of virtue and vice, will
 69     II,  XXVIII|          vice, should, in a great measure, everywhere correspond with
 70     II,  XXVIII|           true or false. For if I measure anything by a yard, I know
 71     II,  XXVIII|          know whether the thing I measure be longer or shorter than
 72     II,  XXVIII|         though perhaps the yard I measure by be not exactly the standard:
 73     II,  XXXI  |         had thereby a standard to measure and denominate actions by,
 74    III,  IV    |            and therefore the only measure of what is, or is not a
 75    III,  VI    |          the name is annexed. The measure and boundary of each sort
 76    III,  VI    |            since we have no other measure of essential or specific
 77    III,  VI    |        what real species, by that measure, such a production will
 78    III,  IX    |           denied but that in some measure it does. Common use regulates
 79    III,  IX    |      ideas. Besides, the rule and measure of propriety itself being
 80    III,  X     |         destroyed, yet in a great measure rendered useless, these
 81    III,  XI    |        possession, but the common measure of commerce and communication,
 82     IV,  II    |     intervening idea, as a common measure, to show their agreement
 83     IV,  II    |         perceive, or find ways to measure, their just equality, or
 84     IV,  II    |       have no certain standard to measure them by, nor means to distinguish
 85     IV,  III   |          intervening qualities to measure them by, which is demonstration,
 86     IV,  III   |      demonstration, may in a good measure be remedied by definitions,
 87     IV,  III   |           to think their span the measure of all things. What other
 88     IV,  IV    |        the shape, and to take the measure of a man only by his outside.
 89     IV,  IV    |          I ask) shall be the just measure; which the utmost bounds
 90     IV,  IV    |        words, we might in a great measure remedy this inconvenience
 91     IV,  VII   |          use of them, as rules to measure the truth of other propositions,
 92     IV,  X     |          reduce all to the narrow measure of our capacities, and to
 93     IV,  XI    |     looking on he makes use of to measure that by.~7. IV. Fourthly,
 94     IV,  XII   |        the ideas of quantities to measure others by; whose equality
 95     IV,  XIII  |           they cannot but in some measure observe the agreement or
 96     IV,  XIII  |   triangle, and found the ways to measure its angles and their magnitudes,
 97     IV,  XVI   |       built, so are they also the measure whereby its several degrees
 98     IV,  XVII  |         be of the same length, to measure their equality by juxta-position.
 99     IV,  XVIII |          we may, I think, in good measure ascribe those absurdities
100     IV,  XIX   |          Whoever goes beyond this measure of assent, it is plain,
101     IV,  XIX   |     falsehood, will have the same measure, and will not be possible
102     IV,  XX    |       them we judge of truth, and measure probability; to that degree,
103     IV,  XX    |         The fourth and last wrong measure of probability I shall take
