 8     II,  X     |         and the make of our animal spirits are concerned in this; and

31     II,  XXIII |           conjectured that created spirits are not totally separate
32     II,  XXIII |      stands thus: the substance of spirits is unknown to us; and so
33     II,  XXIII |        doubt the existence of such spirits, than we have to deny or

35     II,  XXIII |            in our complex ideas of spirits, but those got from sensation
36     II,  XXIII |          our complex idea of other spirits. Because, being capable
37     II,  XXIII |         minds, we can attribute to spirits no other but what we receive
38     II,  XXIII |            in our contemplation of spirits, is only in the several

44     II,  XXVII |            doubt.~Secondly, Finite spirits having had each its determinate

49     II,  XXXIII|            there be about separate spirits? Let custom from the very
50    III,  I     |         inward workings of our own spirits, of which we are conscious

53    III,  VI    |       ideas which it attributes to spirits, it hath or can have no
54    III,  VI    |           more species than one of spirits is impossible; but because
55    III,  VI    | conceptions the several species of spirits, one from another, but by
56    III,  VI    |         distinct specific ideas of spirits, except only of GOD, to
57    III,  VI    |        with infinity; to the other spirits, with limitation: nor, as
58    III,  VI    |            of them to all sorts of spirits, with the difference only
59    III,  VI    |     conceive of Him.~12. Of finite spirits there are probably numberless
60    III,  VI    |       there may be many species of spirits, as much separated and diversified
61    III,  XI    |      corporeal things possessed by spirits separate from bodies. Hence
62    III,  XI    |        lies in our senses. For how spirits, separate from bodies, (
63    III,  XI    |          be not to be doubted that spirits of a higher rank than those
64     IV,  III   |          our understandings. Other spirits, who see and know the nature

66     IV,  III   |            powers that co-exist in spirits yet narrower. If we are
67     IV,  III   |           the dark in reference to spirits; whereof we naturally have
68     IV,  III   |          inconsiderable a rank the spirits that inhabit our bodies
69     IV,  III   |    seraphim, and infinite sorts of spirits above us, is what by a transient
70     IV,  III   |            a science of unembodied spirits. This at first will show
71     IV,  III   |            that infinite number of spirits that may be, and probably
72     IV,  III   |       collect of the Father of all spirits, the eternal independent
73     IV,  III   |          of the existence of other spirits, but by revelation. Angels
74     IV,  VI    |            as to the operations of spirits, both their thinking and
75     IV,  VIII  |             know as little of God, spirits, or bodies, as he did before
76     IV,  X     |           the motion of the animal spirits (which some make use of
77     IV,  X     |  determination given to the animal spirits must be either immediately
78     IV,  XI    |          existence of other finite spirits not knowable, and rests
79     IV,  XI    |       faith. What ideas we have of spirits, and how we come by them,
80     IV,  XI    |            the having the ideas of spirits does not make us know that
81     IV,  XI    |          that there are any finite spirits, or any other spiritual

85     IV,  XII   |           hope to know of separate spirits in this world, we must,
86     IV,  XVI   |   immaterial beings without us; as spirits, angels, devils, &c. Or
