1 I, II | capable of a law that is not a free agent. And upon that ground 2 II, XIII | requisite to make room for the free motion of the parts of the 3 II, XXI | soul; that it is or is not free; that it determines the 4 II, XXI | own mind, so far is a man free. Wherever any performance 5 II, XXI | directing it, there he is not free, though perhaps the action 6 II, XXI | by any one taken to be a free agent. If we inquire into 7 II, XXI | has not liberty, is not a free agent; but all its both 8 II, XXI | herein liberty, is not a free agent. For though he has 9 II, XXI | therefore therein he is not free. So a man striking himself, 10 II, XXI | should prefer it, he is not a free agent. Convulsive motions 11 II, XXI | then consider the man as a free agent again.~13. Necessity, 12 II, XXI | viz. Whether man’s will be free or no? For if I mistake 13 II, XXI | ask whether man’s will be free, as to ask whether his sleep 14 II, XXI | viz. whether the will be free) is in effect to ask, whether 15 II, XXI | that which denominates him free, and is freedom itself. 16 II, XXI | ask, whether freedom were free, he would be suspected not 17 II, XXI | instead of the man, is called free. However, the name faculty, 18 II, XXI | absurdity in saying it is free, or not free, will easily 19 II, XXI | saying it is free, or not free, will easily discover itself 20 II, XXI | orders, and the will is free,) it is fit that we should 21 II, XXI | alone which is or is not free, and not the power itself 22 II, XXI | would be for a man to be free without being able to be 23 II, XXI | without being able to be free.~21. But to the agent, or 24 II, XXI | proper, whether the will be free, but whether a man be free. 25 II, XXI | free, but whether a man be free. Thus, I think,~First, That 26 II, XXI | not exist, so far he is free. For if I can, by a thought 27 II, XXI | in respect of that I am free: and if I can, by a like 28 II, XXI | either, so far is a man free. For how can we think any 29 II, XXI | power in him, a man seems as free as it is possible for freedom 30 II, XXI | of willing, a man is not free. But the inquisitive mind 31 II, XXI | plea, that a man is not free at all, if he be not as 32 II, XXI | at all, if he be not as free to will as he is to act 33 II, XXI | question, Whether a man be free to will? Which I think is 34 II, XXI | disputed whether the will be free. And as to that I imagine.~ 35 II, XXI | 23. How a man cannot be free to will. Secondly, That 36 II, XXI | presently to be done, cannot be free. The reason whereof is very 37 II, XXI | man in such a case is not free: liberty consisting in a 38 II, XXI | necessity, and so cannot be free; unless necessity and freedom 39 II, XXI | together, and a man can be free and bound at once. Besides 40 II, XXI | once. Besides to make a man free after this manner, by making 41 II, XXI | the last will cannot be free. Nor is any being, as far 42 II, XXI | do; but he is therefore free, because he has a power 43 II, XXI | him down, he is no longer free in that case; because the 44 II, XXI | uneasinesses, as to leave us free to the attraction of remoter 45 II, XXI | are seldom at ease, and free enough from the solicitation 46 II, XXI | any action, we were not free; the very end of our freedom 47 II, XXI | are less happy, or less free, than we are. And if it 48 II, XXI | determination directs, is a free agent: such determination 49 II, XXI | lodging. He ceases not to be free; though the desire of some 50 II, XXI | follow, the more are we free from any necessary determination 51 II, XXI | our understandings may be free to examine, and reason unbiased 52 II, XXI | about them; and the will, free from the determination of 53 II, XXI | the man; who could not be free if his will were determined 54 II, XXI | indifferency reaches, a man is free, and no further: v.g. I 55 II, XXI | in that respect perfectly free; my will determines that 56 II, XXI | power to rest: I am yet free, because the indifferency 57 II, XXVIII| suppose a rule set to the free actions of men, without 58 II, XXXIII| there is scarce a man so free from it, but that if he 59 III, V | then that the mind, by its free choice, gives a connexion 60 III, V | that it is done by the free choice of the mind, pursuing 61 IV, III | on the determination of a free agent. The things that, 62 IV, IV | which the mind, by its free choice, puts together, without 63 IV, X | produced in us only by the free action or thought of our 64 IV, XI | comprehensive knowledge of things free from all doubt and scruple; 65 IV, XVII | great difficulties about free created agents, which reason 66 IV, XVII | without knowing how to free itself: and in that case 67 IV, XX | unreasonableness, set themselves free with the old reply, Non
