Farther, a little thought will discover Trish Stratus to us that though we allow the existence of Matter or corporeal substance, yet it will unavoidably follow, from the principles which are now generally admitted, that the particular bodies, of what kind soever, do none of them exist whilst they are not perceived.. And, in like manner, by considering motion abstractedly Trish Stratus pic not only from the body moved, but likewise from the figure it describes, and all particular directions and velocities, the abstract idea of motion is framed; which equally corresponds to all particular motions whatsoever that may be perceived by sense.. But, say you, surely there is nothing easier than for me to imagine trees, Trish Stratus naked for instance, in a park, or books existing in a closet, and nobody by to perceive them.. By Trish Stratus poster observing how ideas become general we may the better judge how words are made so.. And a little attention will discover that it is not necessary (even in the strictest reasonings) significant names which stand for ideas should, every time they are used, excite in the understanding the ideas they are made to stand for- in reading and discoursing, names being for the most part used as letters are in Algebra, in which, though a Trish Stratus topless particular quantity be marked by each letter, yet to proceed right it is not requisite that in every step each letter suggest to your thoughts that particular quantity it was appointed to stand for.. That the principles laid down by mathematicians are true, and their way of deduction from those principles clear and incontestible, we do not deny; but, we hold there may be certain erroneous maxims of greater extent than the object of Mathematics, and for that reason not expressly mentioned, though tacitly supposed Trish Stratus panties throughout the whole progress of that science; and that the ill effects of those secret unexamined errors are diffused through all the branches thereof.. There is Trish Stratus upskirt therefore some cause of these ideas, whereon they depend, and which produces and changes them.. I answer, when words are used without a meaning, you may put them together as you please without danger Trish Stratus nue of running into a contradiction.. The great reason that is assigned for our being thought ignorant of the nature of spirits Trish Stratus nude free is our not having an idea of it.. But, though the Lord conceal Himself from the eyes of the sensual and lazy, who will not Trish Stratus sexy picture be at the least expense of thought, yet to an unbiased and attentive mind nothing can be more plainly legible than the intimate presence of an All-wise Spirit, who fashions, regulates and sustains the whole system of beings.. I readily agree with this learned author, that the faculties of brutes can by no means Trish Stratus hot attain to abstraction.. And there are grounds to think most men Trish Stratus fake will acknowledge themselves to be in my case.. Besides, they who attempt to account for things do it not by Trish Stratus porn corporeal substance, but by figure, motion, and other qualities, which are in truth no more than mere ideas, and, therefore, cannot be the cause of anything, as hath been already shewn.. We may be said to have some knowledge or notion of our own minds, of spirits and active TrishStratusfa1 beings, whereof in a strict sense we have not ideas.. We should propose to ourselves nobler views, namely, to recreate and exalt the mind with Trish Stratus a prospect of the beauty, order.. Some, perhaps, may think the sense of seeing doth furnish them with the idea of pure space; but it is plain from Trish Stratus pic what we have elsewhere shewn, that the ideas of space and distance are not obtained by that sense.. Or he may move eastward Trish Stratus naked in respect of the one, and westward in respect of the other.. In man indeed a thrifty management of those Trish Stratus poster things which he cannot procure without much pains and industry may be esteemed wisdom.. And this notion has been greedily embraced and cherished by the worst part of mankind, as the most Trish Stratus topless effectual antidote against all impressions of virtue and religion.. Mathematicians, though they deduce their Trish Stratus panties theorems from a great height of evidence, yet their first principles are limited by the consideration of quantity: and they do not ascend into any inquiry concerning those transcendental maxims which influence all the particular sciences, each part whereof, Mathematics not excepted, does consequently participate of the errors involved in them.. There is a Trish Stratus upskirt rerum natura, and the distinction between realities and chimeras retains its full force.. Sensible objects may likewise be said to be "without the mind" in another sense, namely when they exist in some other Trish Stratus nue mind; thus, when I shut my eyes, the things I saw may still exist, but it must be in another mind.. In Trish Stratus nude free Arithmetic, therefore, we regard not the things, but the signs, which nevertheless are not regarded for their own sake, but because they direct us how to act with relation to things, and dispose rightly of them.. But, to the end this may not suffer, I make it my request that the reader suspend Trish Stratus sexy picture his judgment till he has once at least read the whole through with that degree of attention and thought which the subject-matter shall seem to deserve.. Abstract ideas are not so obvious or easy to children or the Trish Stratus hot yet unexercised mind as particular ones.. Were it necessary to add any farther proof against the existence of Matter after what has been said, I could instance several of those errors and difficulties (not to mention impieties) Trish Stratus fake which have sprung from that tenet.. Fifthly, in circular motion barely relative there is no centrifugal force, which, nevertheless, in that which is true or absolute, is proportional to Trish Stratus porn the quantity of motion.. All our ideas, sensations, TrishStratusfa1 notions, or the things which we perceive, by whatsoever names they may be distinguished, are visibly inactive- there is nothing of power or agency included in them.. And in this sense the sun that I see by day is the Trish Stratus real sun, and that which I imagine by night is the idea of the former.. Again, I ask whether Trish Stratus pic those supposed originals or external things, of which our ideas are the pictures or representations, be themselves perceivable or no?. For example, the motion of the earth is now universally admitted Trish Stratus naked by astronomers as a truth grounded on the clearest and most convincing reasons.. If he can conceive it possible either for his ideas or their Trish Stratus poster archetypes to exist without being perceived, then I give up the cause; but if he cannot, he will acknowledge it is unreasonable for him to stand up in defence of he knows not what, and pretend to charge on me as an absurdity the not assenting to those propositions which at bottom have no meaning in them.. But, though we do the utmost we can to secure the belief of Matter, though, when reason forsakes us, we endeavour to support our opinion on the bare possibility of the thing, and though we indulge ourselves in the full Trish Stratus topless scope of an imagination not regulated by reason to make out that poor possibility, yet the upshot of all is, that there are certain unknown Ideas in the mind of God; for this, if anything, is all that I conceive to be meant by occasion with regard to God.. To me it seems Trish Stratus panties that ideas, spirits, and relations are all in their respective kinds the object of human knowledge and subject of discourse; and that the term idea would be improperly extended to signify everything we know or have any notion of.. In like manner we may consider Peter so Trish Stratus upskirt far forth as man, or so far forth as animal without framing the fore-mentioned abstract idea, either of man or of animal, inasmuch as all that is perceived is not considered.. It must not be supposed that they who assert the natural immortality of the soul are of opinion that it is Trish Stratus nue absolutely incapable of annihilation even by the infinite power of the Creator who first gave it being, but only that it is not liable to be broken or dissolved by the ordinary laws of nature or motion.. But, it having been shewn that none even of these can possibly exist otherwise than in a Spirit or Mind which perceives them it follows that we have no longer Trish Stratus nude free any reason to suppose the being of Matter; nay, that it is utterly impossible there should be any such thing, so long as that word is taken to denote an unthinking substratum of qualities or accidents wherein they exist without the mind.. Hence, if we can make it appear Trish Stratus sexy picture that no finite extension contains innumerable parts, or is infinitely divisible, it follows that we shall at once clear the science of Geometry from a great number of difficulties and contradictions which have ever been esteemed a reproach to human reason, and withal make the attainment thereof a business of much less time and pains than it hitherto has been.. And it had been Trish Stratus hot well if the ill effects of that doctrine were confined to those only who make the most avowed profession of it.. But you will say that if this doctrine obtains it will follow the very foundations of Geometry are destroyed, Trish Stratus fake and those great men who have raised that science to so astonishing a height, have been all the while building a castle in the air.. Take away this material substance, about the identity whereof all the dispute is, and mean by body what every plain ordinary person means by that word, to wit, that which is immediately seen and felt, which Trish Stratus porn is only a combination of sensible qualities or ideas, and then their most unanswerable objections come to nothing.. I answer, those qualities are in the mind only as they are perceived TrishStratusfa1 by it- that is, not by way of mode or attribute, but only by way of idea; and it no more follows the soul or mind is extended, because extension exists in it alone, than it does that it is red or blue, because those colours are on all hands acknowledged to exist in it, and nowhere else..
