1. Idea is the object of thinking.

2. All ideas come from sen

sation or reflection.

3. The objects of sensation
one source of ideas.
4. The operations of our
minds, the other source
of them.

5. All our ideas are of the

one or the other of these. 6. Observable in children. 7. Men are differently fur

nished with these, according to the different objects they converse with. 8. Ideas of reflection later, because they need attention.

9. The soul begins to have ideas, when it begins to perceive.

10. The soul thinks not always; for this wants proofs.

11. It is not always conscious}

of it.

12. If a sleeping man thinks

without knowing it, the sleeping and waking man are two persons. 13. Impossible to convince those that sleep without dreaming that they think. 14. That men dream without remembering it, in vain urged.

*

15. Upon this hypothesis, the thoughts of a sleeping man ought to be most rational. 16. On this hypothesis the soul must have ideas not derived from sensation or reflection, of which there is no appearance. 17. If I think when I know it not, nobody else can know it.

18. How knows any one that the soul always thinks? For if it be not a self-evident proposition, it needs proot. 19. Thata man should be busy in thinking, and yet not retain it the next moment, very improbable. No ideas but from sensation, or reflection, evident, if we observe children.

24. The original of all our

knowledge.

ideas the understanding is

most of all passive.

CHAP. II.

Of simple ideas.

12. This train, the measure

of other successions.

13-15. The mind cannot fix long

on one invariable idea.

16. Ideas, however made, in-

clude no sense of mo-

tion.

17. Time is duration set out

by measures.

18. A good measure of time

must divide its whole

duration into equal pe-

riods.

19. The revolutions of the sun

and moon, the properest

measures of time.

20. But not by their motion,

but periodical appear-

ances.

21. No two parts of duration

can be certainly known to

be equal.

22. Time not the measure

of motion.

23. Minutes, hours, and years,

not necessary measures of

duration.

24-26. Our measure of time ap-

plicable to duration be-

fore time.

27-30. Eternity.

2. Expansion not bounded

by matter.

3. Nor duration by motion.

4. Why men more easily ad-

mit infinite duration, than

infinite expansion.

5. Time to duration, is as

place to expansion.

6. Time and place are taken

for so much of either as

are set out by the exist-

ence and motion of bo-

dies.

7. Sometimes for so much

of either as we design by

measure taken from the

bulk or motion of bo-

dies.

8. They belong to all be-

ings.

9. All the parts of extension,

are extension; and all the

parts of duration are du-

ration.

10. Their parts inseparable.

11. Duration is as a line, ex-

pansion as a solid.

12. Duration has never two

parts together, expansion

all together.
