31 III, 22| remains, therefore, the idea of God, in which I must
32 III, 22| feel persuaded that the idea I have of them owes its

35 III, 24| apprehend the infinite by a true idea, but only by the negation

62 III, 38| this same God, I say, whose idea is in my mind -- that is,

76 V, 7 | that I no less find the idea of a God in my consciousness,
