 2   Read         |         to quit and renounce any opinion of my own, than oppose that
 3   Read         |      soever I have to resign any opinion I have, or to recede from
 4    Int         |   grounds and degrees of belief, opinion, and assent;—I shall not
 5    Int         |    search out the bounds between opinion and knowledge; and examine
 6    Int         |          and grounds of faith or opinion: whereby I mean that assent
 7      I,  I     |     innate. It is an established opinion amongst some men, that there
 8      I,  I     |       doubt of the truth of that opinion, as an excuse for my mistake,
 9      I,  I     |          will ill agree with the opinion of innate principles, and
10      I,  I     |         passion and zeal for his opinion, but less sincerity and
11      I,  I     |        of them; and it is, in my opinion, a strong presumption that
12      I,  II    |         nothing else but our own opinion or judgment of the moral
13      I,  II    |      innate principles is but an opinion taken up at pleasure; since
14      I,  II    |         who lay stress upon this opinion; and it gives occasion to
15      I,  II    |          custom, and the general opinion of those amongst whom we
16      I,  II    | universal consent, by which this opinion of innate principles is
17      I,  II    |           and piety they have an opinion, who never suffer those
18      I,  III   |        more does it resemble the opinion and notion of the teacher,
19      I,  III   |          Christians many of that opinion. Talk but with country people,
20      I,  III   |         his assent as a probable opinion, but hath no knowledge of
21      I,  III   |     comes to use.~25. Whence the opinion of innate principles. When
22     II,  I     |     their very first being. This opinion I have at large examined
23     II,  I     |      same thing. I know it is an opinion, that the soul always thinks,
24     II,  II    |         here followed the common opinion of man’s having but five
25     II,  VIII  |          according to the common opinion; but, in truth, it will
26     II,  IX    |          this problem; and am of opinion that the blind man, at first
27     II,  XVII  |          philosophers who are of opinion that infinite space is possessed
28     II,  XX    |         stopped or abated by the opinion of the impossibility or
29     II,  XXI   |       recede from so received an opinion. But yet, upon a stricter
30     II,  XXI   |      that which, in the received opinion, the will is supposed to
31     II,  XXI   |       happiness; even in our own opinion, let our state and condition
32     II,  XXI   |         our happiness. It is our opinion of such a necessity that
33     II,  XXI   |         not answer the report or opinion that generally passes of
34     II,  XXI   |           Fashion and the common opinion having settled wrong notions,
35     II,  XXI   |          I own some change of my opinion; which I think I have discovered
36     II,  XXVII |       transmigration, and are of opinion that the souls of men may,
37     II,  XXVII |         agree, the more probable opinion is, that this consciousness

39     II,  XXVIII|        vice. Thirdly, the law of opinion or reputation. Virtue and
40     II,  XXVIII|          against the fashion and opinion of the company he keeps,
41     II,  XXVIII|         constant dislike and ill opinion of his familiars, and those
42     II,  XXXII |   undiscernibly alike. For which opinion, I think, there might be
43    III,  III   |          other and more rational opinion is of those who look on
44    III,  X     |   therefore they cannot quit the opinion, that they are conformable
45     IV,  I     |        me like something between opinion and knowledge; a sort of
46     IV,  II    |        embraced, is but faith or opinion, but not knowledge, at least
47     IV,  III   |        running into the opposite opinion; which, on examination,
48     IV,  III   |       rubs, he meets with in one opinion, to take refuge in the contrary,
49     IV,  IV    |       its visible parts. Such an opinion as this, placing immortality
50     IV,  IV    |          long as we retained the opinion, that species and their
51     IV,  VI    |        still; it amounts only to opinion, and has not that certainty
52     IV,  VII   |          of a man’s reasoning or opinion, they are of very little
53     IV,  X     |        if there can be, in their opinion, eternal matter, without
54     IV,  X     | authorize, if the common settled opinion opposes it: especially in
55     IV,  XI    |     anything contrary to his own opinion. As to myself, I think God
56     IV,  XII   |         been the common received opinion amongst men of letters,
57     IV,  XII   |         2. (The occasion of that opinion.) One thing which might

59     IV,  XII   |     forwardly possessed with the opinion or expectation of knowledge,
60     IV,  XV    |        called belief, assent, or opinion, which is the admitting
61     IV,  XV    |  anything else, and that is, the opinion of others; though there
62     IV,  XVI   |        memories that this is the opinion that, by the proofs they
63     IV,  XVI   |         require a man, for every opinion that he embraces, every
64     IV,  XVI   |        obsequiously quit his own opinion, and embrace ours, with

67     IV,  XVII  |          they are, with the same opinion they brought with them:
68     IV,  XVII  |       that was forced out of his opinion by dint of syllogism,) yet

70     IV,  XVII  |     judgments, and receive their opinion in debate, is to require

72     IV,  XVIII |         quit it for the contrary opinion, under a pretence that it
73     IV,  XVIII |          been principled with an opinion that they must not consult
74     IV,  XIX   |         for a foundation both of opinion and conduct.~4. Reason and
75     IV,  XIX   |          has raised them into an opinion of a greater familiarity
76     IV,  XIX   |    prepared, whatever groundless opinion comes to settle itself strongly
77     IV,  XIX   |     Scripture is express for any opinion or action, we may receive
