 1     II,  XXXI|       sorts of abstract ideas or nominal essences:~First, simple
 2    III,  III |    without giving them any name.~Nominal essences. Secondly, The
 3    III,  III |          one the real, the other nominal essence.~16. Constant connexion
 4    III,  III |   connexion between the name and nominal essence. Between the nominal
 5    III,  III |     nominal essence. Between the nominal essence and the name there
 6    III,  III |      general names.~18. Real and nominal essence the same in simple
 7    III,  III |          thus distinguished into nominal and real, we may further
 8    III,  III |           is the real as well as nominal essence of a triangle; it
 9    III,  III |           which is therefore its nominal essence. Since nothing can
10    III,  IV  |     signify always both real and nominal essences. Secondly, The
11    III,  IV  |       always the real as well as nominal essence of their species.
12    III,  IV  |          anything but barely the nominal essences of those species;
13    III,  V   |          the mind that makes the nominal essence, yet, since those
14    III,  V   |          commonly make the whole nominal essence.~14. Names of mixed
15    III,  V   |         so in these the real and nominal essence is the same; which,
16    III,  VI  |          by a peculiar name, the nominal essence, to distinguish
17    III,  VI  |          upon which depends this nominal essence, and all the properties
18    III,  VI  |       the real essence: v.g. the nominal essence of gold is that
19    III,  VI  |        sight to discover.~3. The nominal and real essence different.
20    III,  VI  |          name man, and so be the nominal essence of the species so
21    III,  VI  |         them, which I call their nominal essence. By this real essence
22    III,  VI  |       found to co-exist with the nominal essence; that particular
23    III,  VI  |  individuals: v.g. supposing the nominal essence of gold to be a
24    III,  VI  |      still to the species is the nominal essence, of which they are
25    III,  VI  |     foundation and cause.~7. The nominal essence bounds the species
26    III,  VI  |         it is evident, is by the nominal essence. For it is that
27    III,  VI  |        been shown, which we call nominal essence. Why do we say this
28    III,  VI  |          but because it has that nominal essence; or, which is all
29    III,  VI  |         species, having the same nominal essence, under the same
30    III,  VI  |         in general.~11. That the nominal essence is that only whereby
31    III,  VI  |          species consists in the nominal essences the mind makes,
32    III,  VI  |          distinct ideas.~13. The nominal essence that of the species,
33    III,  VI  | substances into species.~19. Our nominal essences of substances not
34    III,  VI  |         calls gold, i.e. for the nominal essence of gold, it would
35    III,  VI  |     least try the truth of these nominal essences. For example: there
36    III,  VI  |      question refers only to the nominal essence: for those of them
37    III,  VI  |         name substances by their nominal and not by their real essences,
38    III,  VI  |        it, we shall not find the nominal essence of any one species
39    III,  VI  |     dignitary in the church.~27. Nominal essences of particular substances
40    III,  VI  |       are so undetermined in our nominal essences, which we make
41    III,  VI  |         could not happen, if the nominal essences, whereby we limit
42    III,  VI  |      simple ideas which make the nominal essence so far from being
43    III,  VI  |          modes. But though these nominal essences of substances are
44    III,  VI  |      modes. To the making of any nominal essence, it is necessary,
45    III,  VI  |       they really exist.~29. Our nominal essences of substances usually
46    III,  VI  |        conclude that, though the nominal essences of substances are
47    III,  VI  |       simple ideas that make the nominal essence of the lowest species,
48    III,  VI  |     abstract ideas which are the nominal essences do thereby make
49    III,  VI  |         not malleableness in his nominal essence, signified by the
50    III,  VI  |       with a name to it, makes a nominal essence. One thing I doubt
51    III,  VI  |           Therefore to fix their nominal species, a real essense
52    III,  VI  |    definition, i.e., part of the nominal essence the word gold stands
53    III,  IX  |           should be put into the nominal essence, and others left
54    III,  X   |        of substances whereof the nominal essences are only known
55    III,  X   |      name is the real as well as nominal essence; and there is no
56     IV,  V   |        or (if you please) barely nominal, they depending both on
57     IV,  VI  |        For in these the real and nominal essence being the same,
58     IV,  VI  |       essence, distinct from the nominal, is supposed to constitute,
59     IV,  VI  |         is yellow. But where the nominal essence is kept to, as the
60     IV,  VI  |        species determined by its nominal essence, let the nominal
61     IV,  VI  |         nominal essence, let the nominal essence, for example, be
62     IV,  VI  |          inconsistency with that nominal essence. Fixedness, for
63     IV,  VI  |      necessary connexion between nominal essence of gold and other
64     IV,  VI  |       other simple ideas of that nominal essence of gold; so, if
65     IV,  VI  |          that are in it.~12. Our nominal essences of substances furnish
66     IV,  VI  |        which whilst we want, the nominal essences we make use of
67     IV,  VI  |         repugnancy with this our nominal essence of man, with this
68     IV,  VI  |   discernible connexion with our nominal essence, or any part of
69     IV,  VIII|       them, any further than our nominal essences lead us. Which
70     IV,  XII |          are the real as well as nominal essences of their species,
71     IV,  XII |        ideas are real as well as nominal essences,) by contemplating
72     IV,  XII |          I have said here of the nominal essence of gold, supposed
73     IV,  XII |          the simple ideas of our nominal essence will carry us, which
74     IV,  XII |         complex idea, part of my nominal essence of gold: whereby
75     IV,  XII |     simple ideas that make up my nominal essence. For example, I
