Be it so; assert the evidence of sense as high as you please, we are willing to do the Demi Moore same.. But, say you, it is the unknown occasion, at the presence of which ideas are excited in us Demi Moore pic by the will of God.. He whose understanding is possessed with the doctrine of abstract general ideas may be Demi Moore naked persuaded that (whatever be thought of the ideas of sense) extension in abstract is infinitely divisible.. And this notion of the philosophers owes its origin to the same cause with the former, namely, their being conscious Demi Moore poster that they were not the authors of their own sensations, which they evidently knew were imprinted from without, and which therefore must have some cause distinct from the minds on which they are imprinted.. So that when I consider the two parts or branches Demi Moore topless which make the signification of the words material substance, I am convinced there is no distinct meaning annexed to them.. And first I Demi Moore panties shall say somewhat of Natural Philosophy.. And as the mind frames to itself abstract ideas of qualities or modes, so does it, by the Demi Moore upskirt same precision or mental separation, attain abstract ideas of the more compounded beings which include several coexistent qualities.. Thus, for instance, it cannot be denied that God, or the Intelligence that sustains and rules the ordinary course of things, might if He were minded to produce a miracle, cause all the motions on the dial-plate of a watch, though nobody had ever made the movements and put them in it: but yet, if He will act agreeably to the rules of mechanism, Demi Moore nue by Him for wise ends established and maintained in the creation, it is necessary that those actions of the watchmaker, whereby he makes the movements and rightly adjusts them, precede the production of the aforesaid motions; as also that any disorder in them be attended with the perception of some corresponding disorder in the movements, which being once corrected all is right again.. 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 scope of an imagination Demi Moore nude free 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.. So that when I speak of pure or empty space, it is not to be supposed that the word "space" stands for an idea distinct from or conceivable without body and motion- though indeed we are apt to think every noun substantive stands for a distinct idea that Demi Moore sexy picture may be separated from all others; which has occasioned infinite mistakes.. Yet, nothing could have Demi Moore hot induced me to make you this present of my poor endeavours, were I not encouraged by that candour and native goodness which is so bright a part in your lordship's character.. Moreover, their being a great variety of other creatures that partake in some parts, but not all, of the complex idea of man, the mind, leaving out those parts which are peculiar to men, and retaining those only which are common to all the living creatures, frames the idea of animal, which abstracts not only from all particular men, but also all birds, beasts, Demi Moore fake fishes, and insects.. Hence, it is a plain consequence that the soul always thinks; and in truth whoever shall go about to divide in his thoughts, or abstract Demi Moore porn the existence of a spirit from its cogitation, will, I believe, find it no easy task.. But how Matter should operate on a Spirit, or produce any idea in it, is what no philosopher will pretend DemiMoorefa4 to explain; it is therefore evident there can be no use of Matter in natural philosophy.. For, it is evident from sect. II and the following sections, that the Matter philosophers contend for is an incomprehensible somewhat, which hath none of those Demi Moore particular qualities whereby the bodies falling under our senses are distinguished one from another.. It were a mistake to think that what is here said Demi Moore pic derogates in the least from the reality of things.. Whether others have this wonderful faculty of abstracting their ideas, they best can tell: for myself, I find indeed I have a faculty of imagining, or representing to myself, the Demi Moore naked ideas of those particular things I have perceived, and of variously compounding and dividing them.. I shall not at present enter into a more particular dissertation on this subject, but only observe that it is evident from what has been said, those things which pass for abstract truths and theorems concerning numbers, are in reality conversant about no object distinct from particular numeral things, except only names and characters, Demi Moore poster which originally came to be considered on no other account but their being signs, or capable to represent aptly whatever particular things men had need to compute.. Nay, this is unavoidable, since, propriety being regulated by custom, language is suited to the received Demi Moore topless opinions, which are not always the truest.. A little attention will discover to us that the very being of an idea implies passiveness and inertness in it, insomuch that it is impossible for Demi Moore panties an idea to do anything, or, strictly speaking, to be the cause of anything: neither can it be the resemblance or pattern of any active being, as is evident from sect.8.. Not that it is possible for colour or motion to exist without extension; but only that the mind can frame to itself by Demi Moore upskirt abstraction the idea of colour exclusive of extension, and of motion exclusive of both colour and extension.. All the difference is that, according to us, the unthinking beings perceived by sense have no existence distinct from being perceived, and cannot therefore exist in Demi Moore nue any other substance than those unextended indivisible substances or spirits which act and think and perceive them; whereas philosophers vulgarly hold that the sensible qualities do exist in an inert, extended, unperceiving substance which they call Matter, to which they attribute a natural subsistence, exterior to all thinking beings, or distinct from being perceived by any mind whatsoever, even the eternal mind of the Creator, wherein they suppose only ideas of the corporeal substances created by him; if indeed they allow them to be at all created.. We Demi Moore nude free perceive a continual succession of ideas, some are anew excited, others are changed or totally disappear.. It is indeed an opinion strangely prevailing amongst men, that houses, mountains, rivers, and in a word all sensible objects, have an existence, natural or real, distinct from their being perceived by the Demi Moore sexy picture understanding.. It were, therefore, to be wished that everyone would use his utmost endeavours Demi Moore hot to obtain a clear view of the ideas he would consider, separating from them all that dress and incumbrance of words which so much contribute to blind the judgment and divide the attention.. But let us examine a little the Demi Moore fake received opinion.-. In like manner we may consider Peter so far forth as man, or so far forth as animal without Demi Moore porn framing the fore-mentioned abstract idea, either of man or of animal, inasmuch as all that is perceived is not considered.. These latter are said DemiMoorefa4 to have more reality in them than the former:- by which is meant that they are more affecting, orderly, and distinct, and that they are not fictions of the mind perceiving them.. And he that knows names do not always stand for ideas will spare himself the labour of looking for ideas where Demi Moore there are none to be had.. The ideas imprinted on the Senses by the Author of nature are called real Demi Moore pic things; and those excited in the imagination being less regular, vivid, and constant, are more properly termed ideas, or images of things, which they copy and represent.. First, in true or absolute motion all parts which Demi Moore naked preserve the same position with respect of the whole, partake of the motions of the whole.. I might add, my lord, that the Demi Moore poster extraordinary favour and bounty you have been pleased to show towards our Society gave me hopes you would not be unwilling to countenance the studies of one of its members.. Thus much is certain and grounded on experience; but when we think of unthinking agents or of exciting ideas exclusive of volition, we Demi Moore topless only amuse ourselves with words.. Hence a great number of dark and Demi Moore panties ambiguous terms, presumed to stand for abstract notions, have been introduced into metaphysics and morality, and from these have grown infinite distractions and disputes amongst the learned.. Afterwards they found out the more Demi Moore upskirt compendious ways of making one character stand in place of several strokes or points.. From all Demi Moore nue which the natural consequence should seem to be, that so difficult a thing as the forming abstract ideas was not necessary for communication, which is so easy and familiar to all sorts of men.. Is it therefore to be wondered at, if the generality of men, who are ever intent on business or pleasure, and little used to fix or open the eye of their mind, should not have all that conviction and evidence of the Being Demi Moore nude free of God which might be expected in reasonable creatures?. For, after all, what deserves the first place in our studies is the consideration of GOD and our DUTY; which to promote, as it was the main drift and design of my labours, so shall I esteem them altogether useless and ineffectual if, by what I have said, I Demi Moore sexy picture cannot inspire my readers with a pious sense of the Presence of God; and, having shewn the falseness or vanity of those barren speculations which make the chief employment of learned men, the better dispose them to reverence and embrace the salutary truths of the Gospel, which to know and to practice is the highest perfection of human nature.. But, Demi Moore hot that they should have a like gravitation towards the centre of the moon may seem odd and unaccountable to most men, because it is discerned only in the tides.. But, to the Demi Moore fake end this may not suffer, I make it my request that the reader suspend 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.. It cannot be when they are grown up, for then it seems they are not conscious of any Demi Moore porn such painstaking; it remains therefore to be the business of their childhood.. So that in denying the things perceived by sense an existence independent of a substance DemiMoorefa4 of support wherein they may exist, we detract nothing from the received opinion of their reality, and are guilty of no innovation in that respect..
