 4      I,  I     |         This argument, drawn from universal consent, has this misfortune
 5      I,  I     |          how men may come to that universal agreement, in the things
 6      I,  I     |           worse, this argument of universal consent, which is made use

11      I,  I     |          endeavoured to secure an universal assent to those they call
12      I,  I     |         to reason and experience. Universal and ready assent upon hearing
13      I,  I     |   propositions known before these universal maxims. Nor let it be said,

17      I,  I     |      innate, they must needs have universal assent. For that a truth
18      I,  I     |        would be enough to destroy universal assent, and thereby show
19      I,  I     |            they cannot pretend to universal assent of intelligent persons,
20      I,  I     |          evident they have not an universal assent, nor are general
21      I,  I     |      maxims are to be found? What universal principles of knowledge?
22      I,  II    |       chapter, have not an actual universal assent from all mankind,
23      I,  II    |        that they come short of an universal reception: and I think it
24      I,  II    |        impossible to establish an universal consent, (though we should
25      I,  II    |          and all ages, steady and universal; but these are inclinations
26      I,  II    |        chastity? Or where is that universal consent that assures us

28      I,  II    |        takes away the argument of universal consent, by which this opinion
29      I,  II    |      their party, should pass for universal consent;—a thing not unfrequently
30      I,  II    |       modesty doubt; since I fear universal consent, which is the only
31      I,  III   |         terms which make up those universal propositions that are esteemed

35      I,  III   |         easily allow; but such an universal consent as this proves not
36      I,  III   |        upon the minds of men some universal principles; whereof those
37      I,  III   |          to the knowledge of many universal truths, they would have
38     II,  XI    |           those propositions find universal assent, impute it wholly
39     II,  XI    |          use of general signs for universal ideas; from which we have
40     II,  XI    |         fail not to express their universal ideas by signs, which serve
41     II,  XVI   |      Number the simplest and most universal idea. Amongst all the ideas
42     II,  XVI   |        all other things, the most universal idea we have. For number
43     II,  XXXIII|      whole societies of men to so universal a perverseness, as that
44    III,  I     |           and those most commonly universal ones, has greater connexion
45    III,  III   |         to being, thing, and such universal terms, which stand for any

48    III,  IX    |       wherein men have to do with universal propositions, and would
49    III,  IX    |       would settle in their minds universal truths, and consider the

51     IV,  III   |           in vain for certain and universal knowledge of unperceived
52     IV,  III   |           true way of certain and universal knowledge) what other ideas
53     IV,  III   |          our certain knowledge of universal truths concerning natural
54     IV,  III   |          are utterly incapable of universal and certain knowledge; and
55     IV,  III   |        are capable of certain and universal knowledge. Thus the idea
56     IV,  III   |        operations, we can have no universal certainty. Several effects
57     IV,  III   |        perceive, our knowledge is universal. For what is known of such
58     IV,  V     |           to show in what sort of universal propositions we are capable

62     IV,  VI    |         yet serve us to make many universal propositions of whose truth
63     IV,  VI    |        only for experimental (not universal) knowledge; and reach with

66     IV,  VI    |           thereby more capable of universal certainty, in respect of
67     IV,  VI    |  knowledge, and enable us to make universal propositions, that should
68     IV,  VI    |         may be discovered, so far universal propositions may with certainty

71     IV,  VI    |         any general knowledge, or universal propositions capable of
72     IV,  VI    |           ideas, the certainty of universal propositions concerning
73     IV,  VI    |      would that be enough to make universal propositions with certainty,
74     IV,  VI    |         can afford us very little universal certainty. Because our ideas
75     IV,  VI    |        hope to reach certainty in universal propositions concerning
76     IV,  VII   |         as far as they can. Those universal and self-evident principles

78     IV,  VII   |          certainty being not that universal proposition, which perhaps
79     IV,  VIII  |          affirmed, That there are universal propositions, which, though
80     IV,  VIII  |        senses, we cannot make any universal certain propositions concerning
81     IV,  IX    |          we may take notice, that universal propositions of whose truth
82     IV,  XI    |        the evidence of faith; but universal, certain propositions concerning
83     IV,  XI    |          ourselves upon search of universal certainty in all those matters;
84     IV,  XI    |          Such propositions may be universal and certain. So, having
85     IV,  XII   |       very sparingly any certain, universal, and useful truths. For,
86     IV,  XX    |           being suppositions upon universal experience, are so cogent
87     IV,  XX    |  testimonies in matter of fact so universal, that he cannot refuse his
