13    III,  IV   |       which they are.~6. What a definition is. I think it is agreed,
14    III,  IV   |      think it is agreed, that a definition is nothing else but the
15    III,  IV   |       what is, or is not a good definition.~7. Simple ideas, why undefinable.
16    III,  IV   |     That the several terms of a definition, signifying several ideas,
17    III,  IV   |         at all: and therefore a definition, which is properly nothing

28    III,  IV   |       according to any rules of definition. The only way is, by applying
