Thirdly, from what Hsu Chi has been premised no reason can be drawn why the history of nature should not still be studied, and observations and experiments made, which, that they are of use to mankind, and enable us to draw any general conclusions, is not the result of any immutable habitudes or relations between things themselves, but only of God's goodness and kindness to men in the administration of the world.. Such exceptions from the general rules of nature are proper to surprise and awe men Hsu Chi pic into an acknowledgement of the Divine Being; but then they are to be used but seldom, otherwise there is a plain reason why they should fail of that effect.. But, say you, it is the unknown occasion, at the presence of which ideas are excited in us by Hsu Chi naked the will of God.. And to convince others of this, I know no readier or fairer way than to entreat they would calmly attend to their own Hsu Chi poster thoughts; and if by this attention the emptiness or repugnancy of those expressions does appear, surely nothing more is requisite for the conviction.. The opinion that those and the like words stand for general notions, abstracted Hsu Chi topless from all particular persons and actions, seems to have rendered morality very difficult, and the study thereof of small use to mankind.. And surely nothing of less extent Hsu Chi panties than reason itself could have been the source of an opinion so universally received.. What therefore can be meant by calling matter Hsu Chi upskirt an occasion?. If it be demanded why I make use of the word idea, and do not rather in compliance with custom call them things; I answer, I do it for two reasons:- first, because the term thing in contra-distinction to idea, is generally supposed to denote somewhat existing without the mind; secondly, because thing hath Hsu Chi nue a more comprehensive signification than idea, including spirit or thinking things as well as ideas.. First, in true or absolute motion all parts which preserve Hsu Chi nude free the same position with respect of the whole, partake of the motions of the whole.. Nothing can be plainer to me than that the extensions I have in view are no other than my own ideas; and it is no Hsu Chi sexy picture less plain that I cannot resolve any one of my ideas into an infinite number of other ideas, that is, that they are not infinitely divisible.. I entreat the reader to reflect with himself, and see if it doth not often happen, either in hearing or reading a discourse, that the passions of fear, love, hatred, admiration, disdain, and the like, Hsu Chi hot arise immediately in his mind upon the perception of certain words, without any ideas coming between.. But if the terms "extension," Hsu Chi fake "parts," &c.,. I can consider the hand, the Hsu Chi porn eye, the nose, each by itself abstracted or separated from the rest of the body.. But I do not see how the testimony of sense can be alleged as a proof for the existence of anything which is not HsuChifa6 perceived by sense.. If we inquire into what the most accurate philosophers declare themselves to mean by material substance, we shall find them acknowledge they have no other meaning annexed to those sounds but the idea of Hsu Chi Being in general, together with the relative notion of its supporting accidents.. Thus he explains the tides by the attraction of the terraqueous globe towards the moon, which to him does Hsu Chi pic not appear odd or anomalous, but only a particular example of a general rule or law of nature.. If we sound our own Hsu Chi naked conceptions, I believe we may find all the absolute motion we can frame an idea of to be at bottom no other than relative motion thus defined.. Hence, if we can make it appear 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 Hsu Chi poster 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.. Whatever we see, feel, hear, or anywise conceive or understand remains as secure as ever, Hsu Chi topless and is as real as ever.. But why they should suppose the ideas of sense to be excited in us by things in their likeness, and not rather have recourse to Spirit which alone can act, may be accounted for, first, because they were not aware of the repugnancy there Hsu Chi panties is, as well in supposing things like unto our ideas existing without, as in attributing to them power or activity.. From what Hsu Chi upskirt has been said, it will be manifest to any considering person, that it is merely for want of attention and comprehensiveness of mind that there are any favourers of Atheism or the Manichean Heresy to be found.. To be convinced of which, the reader need only reflect, and try to separate in his own Hsu Chi nue thoughts the being of a sensible thing from its being perceived.. It will perhaps be said that we want a sense (as some have imagined) proper to know substances withal, which, if we Hsu Chi nude free had, we might know our own soul as we do a triangle.. For, if they Hsu Chi sexy picture have any ideas at all, and are not bare machines (as some would have them), we cannot deny them to have some reason.. To explain the phenomena, is all one as to shew why, upon such Hsu Chi hot and such occasions, we are affected with such and such ideas.. It is one thing for to keep Hsu Chi fake a name constantly to the same definition, and another to make it stand everywhere for the same idea; the one is necessary, the other useless and impracticable.. Could we but see Him, say they, as we see a man, we should believe that He is, and believing obey Hsu Chi porn His commands.. For, however some may define relative motion, so as to term that body moved HsuChifa6 which changes its distance from some other body, whether the force or action causing that change were impressed on it or no, yet as relative motion is that which is perceived by sense, and regarded in the ordinary affairs of life, it should seem that every man of common sense knows what it is as well as the best philosopher.. As for our senses, by them we have the knowledge only of our sensations, ideas, or those things that are immediately perceived by sense, call them what you will: Hsu Chi but they do not inform us that things exist without the mind, or unperceived, like to those which are perceived.. In answer to all which, I refer the reader to what has been said in sect. Hsu Chi pic 3, 4, &c., and desire he will consider whether he means anything by the actual existence of an idea distinct from its being perceived.. But, to come nigher the difficulty, it must be observed that though the fabrication Hsu Chi naked of all those parts and organs be not absolutely necessary to the producing any effect, yet it is necessary to the producing of things in a constant regular way according to the laws of nature.. In short, it will be asked, how, upon our principles, any tolerable account can be given, or any final cause assigned of an innumerable multitude of bodies and machines, framed with the most exquisite art, which in the common philosophy have very apposite uses assigned them, and serve Hsu Chi poster to explain abundance of phenomena?. But all this seems so manifest, from what has been largely Hsu Chi topless set forth in the premises, that it is needless to insist any farther on it.. For example, the motion of the earth is now universally admitted by astronomers as a truth grounded on the clearest and most Hsu Chi panties convincing reasons.. Hence, as it is impossible for me to Hsu Chi upskirt see or feel anything without an actual sensation of that thing, so is it impossible for me to conceive in my thoughts any sensible thing or object distinct from the sensation or perception of it.. If it be demanded why I make use of the word idea, and do not rather in compliance with custom call them things; I answer, I do it for two reasons:- first, because the term thing in contra-distinction to idea, is generally Hsu Chi nue supposed to denote somewhat existing without the mind; secondly, because thing hath a more comprehensive signification than idea, including spirit or thinking things as well as ideas.. As for the characters of novelty and singularity which some of the following notions may seem to bear, it Hsu Chi nude free is, I hope, needless to make any apology on that account.. I answer, though you have no positive, yet, if you have any meaning at all, you must at least have a relative idea of Matter; though you know not what it is, Hsu Chi sexy picture yet you must be supposed to know what relation it bears to accidents, and what is meant by its supporting them.. Which doctrine, how unworthy soever it may seem of the Divine Nature, yet Hsu Chi hot I do not see how we can get clear of it, so long as we adhere to the received opinions.. Whence it plainly follows that Hsu Chi fake extension, figure, and motion cannot be the cause of our sensations.. To say, therefore, Hsu Chi porn that these are the effects of powers resulting from the configuration, number, motion, and size of corpuscles, must certainly be false.. To be plain, we suspect the mathematicians are as well as other men concerned in the errors arising from the doctrine of abstract general HsuChifa6 ideas, and the existence of objects without the mind..
