1 Read | I think might be said in answer to those several objections 2 Read | enough in any language to answer all the variety of ideas 3 I, I | to prove them innate. I answer:~7. Doubtful expressions, 4 I, I | say. For, to apply this answer with any tolerable sense 5 I, I | think those who give this answer will not be forward to affirm 6 I, I | like, must be innate. In answer to this, I demand whether 7 I, I | nor of any great use, I answer, that makes nothing to the 8 I, II | practice contradicts. I answer, first, I have always thought 9 I, II | Hobbist be asked why? he will answer:—Because the public requires 10 I, II | innate moral rule. To which I answer, that I doubt not but, without 11 I, II | something further to add in answer to this objection.~12. The 12 I, II | ready but not very material answer, viz. that the innate principles 13 I, III | parts of his providence, I answer: what they might be in the 14 II, I | and knowledge? To this I answer, in one word, from EXPERIENCE. 15 II, I | from this supposition, I answer, further,—That whatever 16 II, I | ideas, I think the true answer is,—when he first has any 17 II, IX | to call my friend, in his answer to this problem; and am 18 II, IX | one that at first gave the answer to it which he thinks true, 19 II, XIII | s works; and the proper answer would be, that these verses 20 II, XIII | what a fibre was, I should answer him,—that it was a thing 21 II, XIII | body or spirit? To which I answer by another question, Who 22 II, XIII | accident, I shall readily answer I know not; nor shall be 23 II, XIII | taken it for as good an answer from an Indian philosopher,— 24 II, XIII | take it for a sufficient answer and good doctrine from our 25 II, XIII | plain English ones that answer them, and were called sticking 26 II, XIV | train of our ideas. The answer of a great man, to one who 27 II, XIV | periods were equal? To which I answer,—the equality of any other 28 II, XIV | eternal nor infinite; I answer, That to my present purpose 29 II, XVII | yard or a day? To which I answer,—All the ideas that are 30 II, XVIII | motion. Modes of motion answer those of extension; swift 31 II, XXI | make a dispute, or need an answer. For, who is it that sees 32 II, XXI | ready and very satisfactory answer to say, that it was the 33 II, XXI | which, I think, needs no answer: and they who can make a 34 II, XXI | will? the true and proper answer is, The mind. For that which 35 II, XXI | particular way. If this answer satisfies not, it is plain 36 II, XXI | motion or rest? And to this I answer,—The motive for continuing 37 II, XXI | action? and to that the answer is,—That ordinarily which 38 II, XXI | What it is moves desire? I answer,—happiness, and that alone. 39 II, XXI | therefore it was a right answer of the physician to his 40 II, XXI | trial, it may possibly not answer the report or opinion that 41 II, XXII | together in nature? To which I answer, it is plain it has its 42 II, XXIII | rested on; to which his answer was—a great tortoise: but 43 II, XXIII | readily give this satisfactory answer, that it is something: which 44 II, XXIII | knows not how he thinks, I answer, Neither knows he how he 45 II, XXV | do so readily chime and answer one another in people’s 46 II, XXVII | different persons?~And to this I answer: First, This can be no question 47 II, XXVII | can be the same person? I answer, that cannot be resolved 48 II, XXVII | forgot them? To which I answer, that we must here take 49 II, XXVII | no one shall be made to answer for what he knows nothing 50 II, XXIX | not be called confused. I answer, That which makes it be 51 II, XXX | beings. But whether they answer to those constitutions, 52 II, XXX | real and true, because they answer and agree to those powers 53 II, XXXI | since it ought only to answer that power: and so all simple 54 II, XXXI | conformable, and exactly to answer. These being such collections 55 II, XXXIII| beyond precise nature, I answer for myself that I had it 56 III, V | which have not any that answer them in another. Which plainly 57 III, V | will hardly find words that answer them in the Spanish or Italian, 58 III, V | words in other languages to answer them; the reason whereof 59 III, V | dictionaries are supposed to answer one another, yet there is 60 III, VI | that each fixed star would answer the idea the name sun stands 61 III, VI | wholly impossible for us to answer, no part of that going into 62 III, X | stand, and not know what to answer: a plain proof, that, though 63 IV, II | dream that I make him this answer:—1. That it is no great 64 IV, II | actually exists without us: I answer, That we certainly finding 65 IV, II | will be so too? To which I answer, No: for our knowledge consisting 66 IV, III | the same time? To which I answer, that these bodies, to eyes 67 IV, IV | dreams and fancies.”~2. Answer: “Not so, where ideas agree 68 IV, IV | with things.” To which I answer, That if our knowledge of 69 IV, IV | requisite that the ideas answer their archetypes. Nor let 70 IV, IV | beast, pray what are they? I answer, changelings; which is as 71 IV, IV | other world? To which I answer, I. It concerns me not to 72 IV, IV | state? But, Secondly, I answer, The force of these men’ 73 IV, V | knowledge might suffice here, in answer to this doubt, to distinguish 74 IV, VI | is malleable? To which I answer, It is a very certain proposition, 75 IV, X | yourself eternal? You will answer, perhaps, Because, about 76 IV, X | possibly conceive it? I answer, No. Because it is not reasonable 77 IV, XI | that a waking man should answer him. But yet, if he pleases, 78 IV, XI | dream that I make him this answer, That the certainty of things 79 IV, XVI | are not able presently to answer.~3. The ill consequence 80 IV, XVI | they cannot immediately answer, and show the insufficiency 81 IV, XVII | then are syllogisms? I answer, their chief and main use 82 IV, XX | persuaseris; though I cannot answer, I will not yield.~14. Supposed
