 6      I,  I     |        these maxims; this also is false and frivolous. First, it
 7      I,  I     |           frivolous. First, it is false; because it is evident these
 8      I,  I     |         the supposition itself is false. For, by what kind of logic
 9      I,  I     |          first hearing, is upon a false supposition of no precedent

12     II,  XXI   |          and evil; which, however false and fallacious, have the
13     II,  XXI   |     enjoyment. But that this is a false way of judging, when applied
14     II,  XXI   |          shall only add one other false judgment, which I think
15     II,  XXI   |         my business. But whatever false notions, or shameful neglect
16     II,  XXVII |  something true, but a great deal false of what had been reported.

20     II,  XXXII |         Chapter XXXII~Of True and False Ideas ~1. Truth and falsehood
21     II,  XXXII |         oftentimes termed true or false (as what words are there
22     II,  XXXII |     themselves are termed true or false, there is still some secret
23     II,  XXXII |         come to be called true or false. In all which we shall find
24     II,  XXXII |  themselves be said to be true or false, no more than a single name
25     II,  XXXII |         can be said to be true or false.~2. Ideas and words may
26     II,  XXXII |          the mind, either true or false. But it is not in that metaphysical
27     II,  XXXII |          capable of being true or false, but in the more ordinary
28     II,  XXXII |           there, none of them are false; the idea of a centaur having
29     II,  XXXII |    capable, any of them, of being false, till the mind passes some
30     II,  XXXII | extraneous to them may be true or false. Whenever the mind refers
31     II,  XXXII |      capable to be called true or false. Because the mind, in such
32     II,  XXXII |          it happens to be true or false, so the ideas themselves
33     II,  XXXII |        the one true and the other false; the one having a conformity
34     II,  XXXII |          ideas of substances, are false.~6. The cause of such reference.
35     II,  XXXII |            9. Simple ideas may be false, in reference to others
36     II,  XXXII |           they may be any of them false. But yet simple ideas are
37     II,  XXXII |           modes most liable to be false in this sense. Complex ideas
38     II,  XXXII |        are much more liable to be false in this respect; and the
39     II,  XXXII |           same names, ours may be false; and the idea in our minds,
40     II,  XXXII |         Or at least to be thought false. But whether or no our ideas
41     II,  XXXII |          man is thought to have a false idea of justice, or gratitude,
42     II,  XXXII |       them, they pass for true or false. And thus much concerning
43     II,  XXXII |          none of our ideas can be false but those of substances.
44     II,  XXXII |        none of them can be termed false but only our complex ideas
45     II,  XXXII |           ideas in this sense not false, and why. First, our simple
46     II,  XXXII |         ideas can none of them be false in respect of real existence.
47     II,  XXXII |         ideas can none of them be false in respect of things existing
48     II,  XXXII |    referred to such a pattern, be false. Blue and yellow, bitter
49     II,  XXXII |     bitter or sweet, can never be false ideas: these perceptions
50     II,  XXXII |     purple scarlet.~17. Modes not false cannot be false in reference
51     II,  XXXII |         Modes not false cannot be false in reference to essences
52     II,  XXXII |      anything really existing, be false; because whatever complex
53     II,  XXXII |       station requires, I have no false idea; but such an one as
54     II,  XXXII |           then it may be called a false idea, if thereby it be supposed
55     II,  XXXII |        Ideas of substances may be false in reference to existing
56     II,  XXXII |         things themselves, may be false. That they are all false,
57     II,  XXXII |          false. That they are all false, when looked upon as the
58     II,  XXXII |     existence of things, they are false ideas:—(1) When they put
59     II,  XXXII |        therefore, may be called a false idea of a horse. (2) Ideas
60     II,  XXXII |        are, in this respect, also false, when, from any collection
61     II,  XXXII |          he may be said to have a false complex idea, as well as
62     II,  XXXII |          in nature, may be termed false. But, if he leave out of
63     II,  XXXII |     imperfect idea, rather than a false one; since, though it contains
64     II,  XXXII |          sometimes called true or false; yet if we will look a little
65     II,  XXXII |        any idea is called true or false, it is from some judgment
66     II,  XXXII |          to make, that is true or false. For truth or falsehood,
67     II,  XXXII |       themselves neither true nor false. Any idea, then, which we
68     II,  XXXII |          for this alone be called false. For these representations,
69     II,  XXXII |        without, cannot be thought false, being exact representations
70     II,  XXXII |       they properly be said to be false representations, or ideas
71     II,  XXXII |         falsehood is:~21. But are false—when judged agreeable to
72     II,  XXXII |            25. Ideas, when called false. To conclude, a man having
73     II,  XXXII |        but cannot make a wrong or false idea of a thing which is
74     II,  XXXII |         and neck, I do not make a false idea of anything; because
75     II,  XXXII |           it comes to be termed a false idea; though indeed the
76     II,  XXXII |    judgment; nor the idea any way false.~26. More properly to be
77     II,  XXXII |          rather call them true or false, it is fit he use a liberty,
78     II,  XXXIII|            fills their heads with false views, and their reasonings
79     II,  XXXIII|         and their reasonings with false consequences.~19. Conclusion.
80    III,  X     |           This abuse contains two false suppositions. But however
81    III,  X     |       substances, there are these false suppositions contained:—~
82    III,  X     |       known? Which yet is utterly false. And therefore such application
83    III,  XI    |            which are none of them false or disproportionate; they
84    III,  XI    |       Both which suppositions are false; no names of complex ideas
85     IV,  III   |          to distinguish true from false, certain from probable,
86     IV,  IV    |           upon nothing else but a false supposition, that these
87     IV,  IV    |      suppositions, which are both false. The first is, That all
88     IV,  V     |     proposition, which is true or false, according as such a kind
89     IV,  VII   |           chosen, whether true or false, to the last extremity;
90     IV,  XIV   |         proposition to be true or false, without perceiving a demonstrative
91     IV,  XV    |         proposition to be true or false, rather than the contrary.
92     IV,  XVI   |           propositions, evidently false or doubtful enough in their
93     IV,  XVII  |          mind, by proceeding upon false principles, is often engaged
94     IV,  XVII  |           which the building upon false foundations brings a man
95     IV,  XVIII |           to be certainly true or false, there clear revelation,
96     IV,  XX    |         evident, but doubtful and false, taken up for principles.
97     IV,  XX    |           equally whether true or false) riveted there by long custom
