31848	Is it likely, that fellowships of fifty or sixty pounds a year should tempt abler or worthier men, than benefices of many times their value?
4722	And whether it be that idea which is the cause of his making the aforementioned judgment?
4722	But if this be the case, how come they to be accounted pictures or images, since that supposes them to copy or represent some originals or other?
4722	For I ask any man what necessary connection he sees between the redness of a blush and shame?
4722	How comes it, therefore, to seem greater in one situation than the other?
4722	I ask again what earth you mean?
4722	Is not the extension we see coloured, and is it possible for us, so much as in thought, to separate and abstract colour from extension?
4722	Now I ask which of all these various extensions is that stated, determinate one that is agreed on for a common measure of other magnitudes?
4722	Or whether he ever thinks of the greater or lesser divergency of the rays, which arrive from any point to his PUPIL?
4722	Since therefore the pictures are thus inverted, it is demanded how it comes to pass that we see the objects erect and in their natural posture?
4722	The consequence is that things should appear in the same posture they are painted in; and is it not so?
4722	The question now is, where the point A ought to appear?
4722	What is it can put this cheat on the understanding?
4722	What is there strange or unaccountable in this?
4722	What similitude, what connexion have those ideas with these?
4722	You tell me it is inverted, because the heels are uppermost and the head undermost?
4723	And if so, what cause can be assigned of so widespread and predominant an error?
4723	And is not this a direct repugnancy, and altogether inconceivable?
4723	Are all these but so many chimeras and illusions on the fancy?
4723	BUT DO NOT YOU YOURSELF PERCEIVE OR THINK OF THEM ALL THE WHILE?
4723	But how are we enlightened by being told this is done by attraction?
4723	But secondly, though we should grant this unknown substance may possibly exist, yet where can it be supposed to be?
4723	But why should we trouble ourselves any farther, in discussing this material SUBSTRATUM or support of figure and motion, and other sensible qualities?
4723	But, since one idea can not be the cause of another, to what purpose is that connexion?
4723	But, you will insist, what if I have no reason to believe the existence of Matter?
4723	Does it not suppose they have an existence without the mind?
4723	For example, about the Resurrection, how many scruples and objections have been raised by Socinians and others?
4723	For how can it be known that the things which are perceived are conformable to those which are not perceived, or exist without the mind?
4723	For, what are the fore- mentioned objects but the things we perceive by sense?
4723	If so, why may not the Intelligence do it, without his being at the pains of making the movements and putting them together?
4723	May we not, for example, be affected with the promise of a GOOD THING, though we have not an idea of what it is?
4723	Must we suppose the whole world to be mistaken?
4723	What must we think of Moses''rod?
4723	What must we think of houses, rivers, mountains, trees, stones; nay, even of our own bodies?
4723	What therefore becomes of the sun, moon and stars?
4723	What therefore can be meant by calling matter an occasion?
4723	Why does not an empty case serve as well as another?
4723	Would not a man be deservedly laughed at, who should talk after this manner?
4723	and is it not plainly repugnant that any one of these, or any combination of them, should exist unperceived?
4723	and is it possible to separate, even in thought, any of these from perception?
4723	and what do we PERCEIVE BESIDES OUR OWN IDEAS OR SENSATIONS?
4723	was it not really turned into a serpent; or was there only a change of ideas in the minds of the spectators?
4723	what if I can not assign any use to it or explain anything by it, or even conceive what is meant by that word?
4724	A creation of what?
4724	APPARENT call you them?
4724	After all, can it be supposed God would deceive all mankind?
4724	After all, is there anything farther remaining to be done?
4724	Again, have I not heard you speak of sensible impressions?
4724	Again, have you not acknowledged that no real inherent property of any object can be changed without some change in the thing itself?
4724	Again, is it your opinion that colours are at a distance?
4724	An instrument say you; pray what may be the figure, springs, wheels, and motions, of that instrument?
4724	And I ask you, whether the things immediately perceived are other than your own sensations or ideas?
4724	And are not all ideas, or things perceived by sense, to be denied a real existence by the doctrine of the Materialist?
4724	And are not you too of opinion, that God knew all things from eternity?
4724	And are sensible qualities anything else but ideas?
4724	And call you this an explication of the manner whereby we are affected with ideas?
4724	And can a line so situated be perceived by sight?
4724	And can an idea exist without being actually perceived?
4724	And can any sensation exist without the mind?
4724	And can you think it possible that should really exist in nature which implies a repugnancy in its conception?
4724	And consequently under extension?
4724	And doth not MATTER, in the common current acceptation of the word, signify an extended, solid, moveable, unthinking, inactive Substance?
4724	And have not you acknowledged, over and over, that you have seen evident reason for denying the possibility of such a substance?
4724	And have they not then the same appearance of being distant?
4724	And have true and real colours inhering in them?
4724	And have you not said that Being is a Spirit, and is not that Spirit God?
4724	And how are WE concerned any farther?
4724	And how could that which was eternal be created in time?
4724	And how could this be, if the taste was something really inherent in the food?
4724	And is any unperceiving thing capable of pain or pleasure?
4724	And is it not evident the thing supported is different from the thing supporting?
4724	And is it not possible ideas should succeed one another twice as fast in your mind as they do in mine, or in that of some spirit of another kind?
4724	And is not God an agent, a being purely active?
4724	And is not all this most plain and evident?
4724	And is not bitterness some kind of uneasiness or pain?
4724	And is not this a plain contradiction?
4724	And is not this directly contrary to the Mosaic account?
4724	And is not this highly, absurd?
4724	And is not this, think you, a good reason why I should be earnest in its defence?
4724	And is not this, think you, a sign that they are genuine, that they proceed from nature, and are conformable to right reason?
4724	And is not time measured by the succession of ideas in our minds?
4724	And is not warmth, or a more gentle degree of heat than what causes uneasiness, a pleasure?
4724	And is there nothing in this contrary to nature and the truth of things?
4724	And of these I ask, whether by their real existence you mean a subsistence exterior to the mind, and distinct from their being perceived?
4724	And the appearances perceived by sense, are they not ideas?
4724	And the latter consists in motion?
4724	And the pain?
4724	And this action can not exist in, or belong to, any unthinking thing; but, whatever beside is implied in a perception may?
4724	And to assert that which is inconceivable is to talk nonsense: is it not?
4724	And to creatures less than the mite they will seem yet larger?
4724	And to suppose this, is it not begging the question?
4724	And were not all things eternally in the mind of God?
4724	And what can withstand demonstration?
4724	And what do you see beside colour, figure, and extension?
4724	And what is conceived is surely in the mind?
4724	And what is more known than that the same bodies appear differently coloured by candle- light from what they do in the open day?
4724	And what is perceivable but an idea?
4724	And what may be the nature of that inactive unthinking being?
4724	And what reason have you to think this unknown, this inconceivable Somewhat doth exist?
4724	And what will you conclude from all this?
4724	And when a coal burns your finger, doth it any more?
4724	And when by my touch I perceive a thing to be hot and heavy, I can not say, with any truth or propriety, that I feel the cause of its heat or weight?
4724	And would not a man who had never known anything of Julius Caesar see as much?
4724	And would not all the difference consist in a sound?
4724	And yet you will earnestly contend for the truth of that which you can not so much as conceive?
4724	And, SECONDLY, Whether it be not ridiculously absurd to misapply names contrary to the common use of language?
4724	And, do we perceive anything by sense which we do not perceive immediately?
4724	And, hath it not been made evident that no SUCH substance can possibly exist?
4724	And, if Matter, in such a sense, be proved impossible, may it not be thought with good grounds absolutely impossible?
4724	And, if you think so, pray how do you account for the origin of that primary idea or brain itself?
4724	And, in case you are not, whether it be not absurd to suppose them?
4724	And, though it should be allowed to exist, yet how can that which is INACTIVE be a CAUSE; or that which is UNTHINKING be a CAUSE OF THOUGHT?
4724	And, with regard to these, I would fain know whether what hath been said of tastes doth not exactly agree to them?
4724	Are all our ideas perfectly inert beings?
4724	Are not you too of opinion that we see all things in God?
4724	Are they not so many pleasing or displeasing sensations?
4724	Are those external objects perceived by sense or by some other faculty?
4724	Are those things only perceived by the senses which are perceived immediately?
4724	Are we not sometimes affected with pain and uneasiness by some other Being?
4724	Are you not satisfied there is some peculiar repugnancy between the Mosaic account of the creation and your notions?
4724	Are you of the same mind?
4724	Ask the fellow whether yonder tree hath an existence out of his mind: what answer think you he would make?
4724	Besides, allowing there are colours on external objects, yet, how is it possible for us to perceive them?
4724	Besides, if you will trust your senses, is it not plain all sensible qualities coexist, or to them appear as being in the same place?
4724	But allowing Matter to exist, and the notion of absolute existence to be clear as light; yet, was this ever known to make the creation more credible?
4724	But are not things imagined as truly IN THE MIND as things perceived?
4724	But are there no other things?
4724	But are you all this while in earnest, Hylas; and are you seriously persuaded that you know nothing real in the world?
4724	But are you not guilty of some abuse of language in this?
4724	But do not colours appear to the eye as coexisting in the same place with extension and figures?
4724	But do you not think it looks very like a notion entertained by some eminent moderns, of SEEING ALL THINGS IN GOD?
4724	But does this latter fact ever happen?
4724	But doth not my sense deceive me in those cases?
4724	But how can any idea or sensation exist in, or be produced by, anything but a mind or spirit?
4724	But how can that which is sensible be like that which is insensible?
4724	But how is it possible that pain, be it as little active as you please, should exist in an unperceiving substance?
4724	But how shall we be able to discern those degrees of heat which exist only in the mind from those which exist without it?
4724	But is either of these smelling?
4724	But is it not strange the whole world should be thus imposed on, and so foolish as to believe their senses?
4724	But is it not the only proper genuine received sense?
4724	But is not MOTION a sensible quality?
4724	But is not the most vehement and intense degree of heat a very great pain?
4724	But is not this proceeding on a supposition that there are such external substances?
4724	But is there the like reason why they should be discouraged in philosophy?
4724	But neither can this be called SMELLING: for, if it were, I should smell every time I breathed in that manner?
4724	But surely, Hylas, I can distinguish gold, for example, from iron: and how could this be, if I knew not what either truly was?
4724	But what else is this than to play with words, and run into that very fault you just now condemned with so much reason?
4724	But what if the same arguments which are brought against Secondary Qualities will hold good against these also?
4724	But what is there positive in your abstracted notion of its existence?
4724	But what is this to the real tree or stone?
4724	But what notion is it possible to frame of an instrument void of all sensible qualities, even extension itself?
4724	But what say you to PURE INTELLECT?
4724	But what say you to this?
4724	But what say you?
4724	But what think you of cold?
4724	But what would you infer from thence?
4724	But where are those mighty difficulties you insist on?
4724	But where is the revelation?
4724	But where there are no ideas, there no repugnancy can be demonstrated between ideas?
4724	But who sees not that all the dispute is about a word?
4724	But you do not thence conclude the apparitions in a dream to be without the mind?
4724	But, after all, can anything be more absurd than to say, THERE IS NO HEAT IN THE FIRE?
4724	But, allowing that God is the supreme and universal Cause of an things, yet, may there not be still a Third Nature besides Spirits and Ideas?
4724	But, are you not sensible, Hylas, that two things must concur to take away all scruple, and work a plenary assent in the mind?
4724	But, do you in earnest think the real existence of sensible things consists in their being actually perceived?
4724	But, doth it in like manner depend on YOUR will that in looking on this flower you perceive WHITE rather than any other colour?
4724	But, examine your own thoughts, and then tell me whether it be not as I say?
4724	But, how doth it follow that, because I can pronounce the word MOTION by itself, I can form the idea of it in my mind exclusive of body?
4724	But, not to insist on that, have you not been allowed to take Matter in what sense you pleased?
4724	But, so long as we all believe the same thing, what matter is it how we come by that belief?
4724	But, that one thing may stand under or support another, must it not be extended?
4724	But, though Matter may not be a cause, yet what hinders its being an INSTRUMENT, subservient to the supreme Agent in the production of our ideas?
4724	But, to make it still more plain: is not DISTANCE a line turned endwise to the eye?
4724	But, to say no more of that, are you sure then that sound is really nothing but motion?
4724	Can a real motion in any external body be at the same time very swift and very slow?
4724	Can a real thing, in itself INVISIBLE, be like a COLOUR; or a real thing, which is not AUDIBLE, be like a SOUND?
4724	Can a thing be spread without extension?
4724	Can any doctrine be true that necessarily leads a man into an absurdity?
4724	Can any man in his senses doubt whether sugar is sweet, or wormwood bitter?
4724	Can anything be clearer or better connected than this?
4724	Can anything be plainer than that we see them on the objects?
4724	Can anything be plainer than that you are for changing all things into ideas?
4724	Can extended things be contained in that which is unextended?
4724	Can one and the same thing be at the same time in itself of different dimensions?
4724	Can the mind produce, discontinue, or change anything, but by an act of the will?
4724	Can there be a greater evidence of its truth?
4724	Can there be a pleasanter time of the day, or a more delightful season of the year?
4724	Can there be anything more extravagant than this?
4724	Can they account, by the laws of motion, for sounds, tastes, smells, or colours; or for the regular course of things?
4724	Can this be paralleled in any art or science, any sect or profession of men?
4724	Can you even separate the ideas of extension and motion from the ideas of all those qualities which they who make the distinction term SECONDARY?
4724	Can you expect I should solve a difficulty without knowing what it is?
4724	Can you imagine that I mean anything else?
4724	Can you then conceive it possible that they should exist in an unperceiving thing?
4724	Consequently he hath his sight, and the use of it, in as perfect a degree as you?
4724	Consequently it is no action?
4724	Did they not therefore exist from all eternity, according to you?
4724	Do I not acknowledge a twofold state of things-- the one ectypal or natural, the other archetypal and eternal?
4724	Do I not know this to be a real stone that I stand on, and that which I see before my eyes to be a real tree?
4724	Do they ever represent a motion, or figure, as being divested of all other visible and tangible qualities?
4724	Do they not measure areas round the sun ever proportioned to the times?
4724	Do we not perceive the stars and moon, for example, to be a great way off?
4724	Do you find it otherwise with you, Hylas?
4724	Do you imagine He would have induced the whole world to believe the being of Matter, if there was no such thing?
4724	Do you mean the principles and theorems of sciences?
4724	Do you not in a dream too perceive those or the like objects?
4724	Do you not make the existence of sensible things consist in their being in a mind?
4724	Do you not perfectly know your own ideas?
4724	Do you not?
4724	Do you say the things you perceive are in your mind?
4724	Do you think, however, you shall persuade me that the natural philosophers have been dreaming all this while?
4724	Does not the notion of spirit imply that it is thinking, as well as active and unextended?
4724	Does not this make a difference between the former sort of objects and the latter?
4724	Doth it not therefore follow from hence likewise that it is not really inherent in the object?
4724	Doth it not therefore follow that distance is not properly and immediately perceived by sight?
4724	Doth it not therefore follow, from your principles, that no two can see the same thing?
4724	Doth it not therefore follow, that sensible pain is nothing distinct from those sensations or ideas, in an intense degree?
4724	Doth the REALITY of sensible things consist in being perceived?
4724	Else how could anything be proved impossible?
4724	Even in rocks and deserts is there not an agreeable wildness?
4724	For what reason is there why you should call it Spirit?
4724	For, whatever is immediately perceived is an idea: and can any idea exist out of the mind?
4724	HEAT then is a sensible thing?
4724	Hark; is not this the college bell?
4724	Has it confirmed you in the same mind you were in at parting?
4724	Hath not everything you could say been heard and examined with all the fairness imaginable?
4724	Have all other animals as good grounds to think the same of the figure and extension which they see and feel?
4724	Have they accounted, by physical principles, for the aptitude and contrivance even of the most inconsiderable parts of the universe?
4724	Have you already forgotten you were convinced; or are you willing I should repeat what has been said on that head?
4724	Have you anything to object against it?
4724	Have you not had the liberty of explaining yourself all manner of ways?
4724	Heat therefore, if it be allowed a real being, must exist without the mind?
4724	How can the supposed reality of that which is intangible be a proof that anything tangible really exists?
4724	How cometh it to pass then, Hylas, that you pronounce me A SCEPTIC, because I deny what you affirm, to wit, the existence of Matter?
4724	How is that?
4724	How is this consistent either with common sense, or with what you just now granted?
4724	How many shapes is your Matter to take?
4724	How often must I be obliged to repeat the same thing?
4724	How often must I inculcate the same thing?
4724	How often must I tell you, that I know not the real nature of any one thing in the universe?
4724	How say you, Hylas, can you see a thing which is at the same time unseen?
4724	How should it be otherwise?
4724	How should those Principles be entertained that lead us to think all the visible beauty of the creation a false imaginary glare?
4724	How then came you to say, you conceived a house or tree existing independent and out of all minds whatsoever?
4724	How then can a great heat exist in it, since you own it can not in a material substance?
4724	How then can motion in general, or extension in general, exist in any corporeal substance?
4724	How then can sound, being a sensation, exist in the air, if by the AIR you mean a senseless substance existing without the mind?
4724	How then do you affirm that colours are in the light; since by LIGHT you understand a corporeal substance external to the mind?
4724	How then is it possible that things perpetually fleeting and variable as our ideas should be copies or images of anything fixed and constant?
4724	Howl Is there any thing perceived by sense which is not immediately perceived?
4724	Howl is light then a substance?
4724	I presume then it was by reflexion and reason you obtained the idea of it?
4724	Ideas then are sensible, and their archetypes or originals insensible?
4724	If so, is it not necessary they should be enabled by them to perceive their own limbs, and those bodies which are capable of harming them?
4724	If so, the word SUBSTRATUM should import that it is spread under the sensible qualities or accidents?
4724	If so, whence comes that disagreement?
4724	If so; how comes it that all mankind distinguish between them?
4724	If there is no difference between them, how can this be accounted for?
4724	In a word have you not in every point been convinced out of your own mouth?
4724	In a word, can anything be like a sensation or idea, but another sensation or idea?
4724	In a word, may there not for all that be MATTER?
4724	In like manner, though I hear variety of sounds, yet I can not be said to hear the causes of those sounds?
4724	In the common sense of the word MATTER, is there any more implied than an extended, solid, figured, moveable substance, existing without the mind?
4724	In what sense, therefore, are we to understand those expressions?
4724	Insomuch that what you can hardly discern will to another extremely minute animal appear as some huge mountain?
4724	Is a sweet taste a particular kind of pleasure or pleasant sensation, or is it not?
4724	Is it come to that?
4724	Is it not a sufficient evidence to me of the existence of this GLOVE, that I see it, and feel it, and wear it?
4724	Is it not also active?
4724	Is it not an absurdity to imagine any imperfection in God?
4724	Is it not an absurdity to think that the same thing should be at the same time both cold and warm?
4724	Is it not as great a contradiction to talk of CONCEIVING a thing which is UNCONCEIVED?
4724	Is it not certain I SEE THINGS at a distance?
4724	Is it not common to all instruments, that they are applied to the doing those things only which can not be performed by the mere act of our wills?
4724	Is it not something sensible, as some degree of swiftness or slowness, some certain magnitude or figure peculiar to each?
4724	Is it not sufficiently expressed in the term SUBSTRATUM, or SUBSTANCE?
4724	Is it not that it stands under accidents?
4724	Is it not your opinion that by our senses we perceive only the ideas existing in our minds?
4724	Is it not, therefore, according to you, plainly impossible the creation of any inanimate creatures should precede that of man?
4724	Is it not?
4724	Is it possible there should be any doubt on the point?
4724	Is it that which you see?
4724	Is it therefore certain, that there is no body in nature really hot?
4724	Is it to comply with a ridiculous sceptical humour of making everything nonsense and unintelligible?
4724	Is it your opinion the very figure and extension which you perceive by sense exist in the outward object or material substance?
4724	Is not that opposition to all science whatsoever, that frenzy of the ancient and modern Sceptics, built on the same foundation?
4724	Is not the heat immediately perceived?
4724	Is not the motion of a body swift in a reciprocal proportion to the time it takes up in describing any given space?
4724	Is not therefore this supposition liable to the same absurdity with the former?
4724	Is not this agreeable to the common notions of divines?
4724	Is not this sufficient to denominate a man a SCEPTIC?
4724	Is not this, I say, manifest to the senses?
4724	Is the mind extended or unextended?
4724	Is the nearest and exactest survey made by the help of a microscope, or by the naked eye?
4724	Is there not something in the woods and groves, in the rivers and clear springs, that soothes, that delights, that transports the soul?
4724	Is this fair dealing?
4724	Is this reasonable, Hylas?
4724	Is your material substance a senseless being, or a being endowed with sense and perception?
4724	It can not therefore be the subject of pain?
4724	It hath not therefore according to you, any REAL being?
4724	It is then immediately perceived?
4724	It is therefore itself unextended?
4724	It is therefore somewhat in its own nature entirely distinct from extension?
4724	It seems then there are two sorts of sound-- the one vulgar, or that which is heard, the other philosophical and real?
4724	It seems then, that by SENSIBLE THINGS you mean those only which can be perceived IMMEDIATELY by sense?
4724	It seems, therefore, that if you take away all sensible qualities, there remains nothing sensible?
4724	It should seem therefore to proceed from reason and memory: should it not?
4724	KNOW?
4724	MATERIAL SUBSTRATUM call you it?
4724	May not abstracted ideas be framed by that faculty?
4724	May we not admit a subordinate and limited cause of our ideas?
4724	May we not therefore conclude of smells, as of the other forementioned qualities, that they can not exist in any but a perceiving substance or mind?
4724	Moses tells us of a creation: a creation of what?
4724	My glove for example?
4724	Nay, hath it not furnished the atheists and infidels of all ages with the most plausible arguments against a creation?
4724	Nay, would it not rather seem to derogate from those attributes?
4724	No idea therefore can be like unto, or represent the nature of God?
4724	Nor consequently of the greatest heat perceived by sense, since you acknowledge this to be no small pain?
4724	Odd, say you?
4724	Or can you frame to yourself an idea of sensible pain or pleasure in general, abstracted from every particular idea of heat, cold, tastes, smells?
4724	Or do you imagine they have in themselves any other form than that of a dark mist or vapour?
4724	Or have they any agency included in them?
4724	Or how is it possible these should be the effect of that?
4724	Or is light or darkness the effect of your volition?
4724	Or is there anything so barefacedly groundless and unreasonable to be met with even in the lowest of common conversation?
4724	Or were you not allowed to retract or reinforce anything you had offered, as best served your purpose?
4724	Or will you disbelieve the Providence of God, because there may be some particular things which you know not how to reconcile with it?
4724	Or, are we to imagine impressions made on a thing void of all solidity?
4724	Or, can you imagine that filth and ordure affect those brute animals that feed on them out of choice, with the same smells which we perceive in them?
4724	Or, can you shew any example where an instrument is made use of in producing an effect IMMEDIATELY depending on the will of the agent?
4724	Or, directing your open eyes towards yonder part of the heaven, can you avoid seeing the sun?
4724	Or, how often must it be proved not to exist, before you are content to part with it?
4724	Or, if you say it resembles some one only of our ideas, how shall we be able to distinguish the true copy from all the false ones?
4724	Or, may those things properly be said to be SENSIBLE which are perceived mediately, or not without the intervention of others?
4724	Or, of that which is invisible, that any visible thing, or, in general of anything which is imperceptible, that a perceptible exists?
4724	Otherwise, how could we attribute powers to it?
4724	Ought the historical part of Scripture to be understood in a plain obvious sense, or in a sense which is metaphysical and out of the way?
4724	Pray are not the objects perceived by the SENSES of one, likewise perceivable to others present?
4724	Pray how do the mathematicians treat of them?
4724	Pray is not this arguing in a circle?
4724	Pray let me know any sense, literal or not literal, that you understand it in.--How long must I wait for an answer, Hylas?
4724	Pray what becomes of all their hypotheses and explications of the phenomena, which suppose the existence of Matter?
4724	Pray what is it that distinguishes one motion, or one part of extension, from another?
4724	Pray what reasons have you not to believe it?
4724	Pray what think you of this?
4724	Pray where do you suppose this unknown Matter to exist?
4724	Pray, Hylas, is that powerful Being, or subject of powers, extended?
4724	Pray, Hylas, what do you mean by a SCEPTIC?
4724	Pray, Philonous, were you not formerly as positive that Matter existed, as you are now that it does not?
4724	Pray, by which of your senses came you acquainted with that being?
4724	Pray, is your corporeal substance either a sensible quality, or made up of sensible qualities?
4724	Pray, what were those?
4724	Say you we can know nothing, Hylas?
4724	Secondly, whether you are informed, either by sense or reason, of the existence of those unknown originals?
4724	Sensible things therefore are nothing else but so many sensible qualities, or combinations of sensible qualities?
4724	Since therefore you have no IDEA of the mind of God, how can you conceive it possible that things should exist in His mind?
4724	Since you will not tell me where it exists, be pleased to inform me after what manner you suppose it to exist, or what you mean by its EXISTENCE?
4724	Smelling then is somewhat consequent to all this?
4724	So that if there was a perception without any act of the mind, it were possible such a perception should exist in an unthinking substance?
4724	So that something distinct from, and exclusive of, extension is supposed to be the SUBSTRATUM of extension?
4724	Suppose you are going to write, would you not call for pen, ink, and paper, like another man; and do you not know what it is you call for?
4724	Supposing you were annihilated, can not you conceive it possible that things perceivable by sense may still exist?
4724	Tell me now, whether SEEING consists in perceiving light and colours, or in opening and turning the eyes?
4724	Tell me, Hylas, hath every one a liberty to change the current proper signification attached to a common name in any language?
4724	Tell me, Hylas, is it not as I say?
4724	Tell me, Hylas, to which of the senses, think you, the idea of motion belongs?
4724	Tell me, Hylas, what are the fruits of yesterday''s meditation?
4724	That is to say, when you conceive the real existence of qualities, you do withal conceive Something which you can not conceive?
4724	That yellowness, that weight, and other sensible qualities, think you they are really in the gold?
4724	The mind therefore is to be accounted ACTIVE in its perceptions so far forth as VOLITION is included in them?
4724	The motion and situation of the planets, are they not admirable for use and order?
4724	The objects you speak of are, I suppose, corporeal Substances existing without the mind?
4724	The tree or house therefore which you think of is conceived by you?
4724	Then as to ABSOLUTE EXISTENCE; was there ever known a more jejune notion than that?
4724	Then as to SOUNDS, what must we think of them: are they accidents really inherent in external bodies, or not?
4724	Then for the Matter itself, I ask whether it is object, SUBSTRATUM, cause, instrument, or occasion?
4724	Then, as to seeing, is it not in your power to open your eyes, or keep them shut; to turn them this or that way?
4724	They are then like external things?
4724	Think you the senses were bestowed upon all animals for their preservation and well- being in life?
4724	To be plain, can you expect this Scepticism of yours will not be thought extravagantly absurd by all men of sense?
4724	To make the point still clearer; tell me whether, in two cases exactly alike, we ought not to make the same judgment?
4724	To suffer pain is an imperfection?
4724	To suppose that were absurd: but, inform me, Philonous, can we perceive or know nothing beside our ideas?
4724	True: but, beside all that, do you not think the sight suggests something of OUTNESS OR DISTANCE?
4724	Upon approaching a distant object, do the visible size and figure change perpetually, or do they appear the same at all distances?
4724	Upon putting your hand near the fire, do you perceive one simple uniform sensation, or two distinct sensations?
4724	Was it not admitted as a good argument, that neither heat nor cold was in the water, because it seemed warm to one hand and cold to the other?
4724	Well then, are you at length satisfied that no sensible things have a real existence; and that you are in truth an arrant sceptic?
4724	Well, but as to this decree of God''s, for making things perceptible, what say you, Philonous?
4724	Were any little slips in discourse laid hold and insisted on?
4724	Were those( miscalled ERRATIC) globes once known to stray, in their repeated journeys through the pathless void?
4724	What connexion is there between a motion in the nerves, and the sensations of sound or colour in the mind?
4724	What else think you I could mean?
4724	What mean you by Sensible Things?
4724	What mean you by the general nature or notion of INSTRUMENT?
4724	What mean you, Hylas, by the PHENOMENA?
4724	What more easy than to conceive a tree or house existing by itself, independent of, and unperceived by, any mind whatsoever?
4724	What object do you mean?
4724	What reason is there for that, Hylas?
4724	What say you to this?
4724	What say you to this?
4724	What say you to this?
4724	What shall we make then of the creation?
4724	What shall we say then of your external object; is it a material Substance, or no?
4724	What then?
4724	What things?
4724	What things?
4724	What think you of TASTES, do they exist without the mind, or no?
4724	What think you of those inconceivably small animals perceived by glasses?
4724	What think you, Hylas, is not this a fair summary of your whole proceeding?
4724	What think you, therefore, of retaining the name MATTER, and applying it to SENSIBLE THINGS?
4724	What treatment, then, do those philosophers deserve, who would deprive these noble and delightful scenes of all REALITY?
4724	What tulip do you speak of?
4724	What would you have?
4724	What you would say then is that the red and yellow are coexistent with the extension; is it not?
4724	What?
4724	Whatever therefore agrees to real sound, may with truth be attributed to motion?
4724	When a pin pricks your finger, doth it not rend and divide the fibres of your flesh?
4724	When is a thing shewn to be impossible?
4724	When is the mind said to be active?
4724	When, therefore, you say all ideas are occasioned by impressions in the brain, do you conceive this brain or no?
4724	When, therefore, you speak of the existence of Matter, you have not any notion in your mind?
4724	Whence comes it then that your thoughts are directed to the Roman emperor, and his are not?
4724	Whether doth doubting consist in embracing the affirmative or negative side of a question?
4724	Which are material objects in themselves-- perceptible or imperceptible?
4724	Why is not the same figure, and other sensible qualities, perceived all manner of ways?
4724	Why not, Philonous?
4724	Will you tell me I do not really know what fire or water is?
4724	Would you think this reasonable?
4724	You acknowledge then that you can not possibly conceive how any one corporeal sensible thing should exist otherwise than in the mind?
4724	You are still then of opinion that EXTENSION and FIGURES are inherent in external unthinking substances?
4724	You are then in these respects altogether passive?
4724	You are then of opinion it is made up of unknown parts, that it hath unknown motions, and an unknown shape?
4724	and why should we use a microscope the better to discover the true nature of a body, if it were discoverable to the naked eye?
4724	and yet, are they able to comprehend how one body should move another?
4724	are not the fields covered with a delightful verdure?
4724	are then the beautiful red and purple we see on yonder clouds really in them?
4724	are you then in that sceptical state of suspense, between affirming and denying?
4724	how shall we distinguish these apparent colours from real?
4724	is it as your legs support your body?
4724	is it not an easy matter to consider extension and motion by themselves, abstracted from all other sensible qualities?
4724	is sound then a sensation?
4724	is there anything visible but what we perceive by sight?
4724	must we suppose they are all stark blind?
4724	of ideas?
4724	of unknown quiddities, of occasions, or SUBSTRATUM?
4724	or have you since seen cause to change your opinion?
4724	or is it possible it should have all the marks of a true opinion and yet be false?
4724	or is not the idea of extension necessarily included in SPREADING?
4724	or were they given to men alone for this end?
4724	or where is the evidence that extorts the belief of Matter?
4724	or, is any more than this necessary in order to conceive the creation?
4724	or, is it something distinct from their being perceived, and that bears no relation to the mind?
4724	sensible or intelligible?
4724	the greatest as well as the least?
4724	the object of the senses?
4724	to the hearing?
4724	to wit, whether what is perceived by different persons may yet have the term SAME applied to it?
4724	who ever thought it was?
4543	And how far the conveniences and comforts of life may be procured by a domestic commerce between the several parts of this kingdom?
4543	And how many wealthier there are in the kingdom, and what proportion they bear to the other inhabitants?
4543	And if not, what would follow from the supposal of such a bank?
4543	And if our tradesmen are beggars, whether they may not thank themselves for it?
4543	And if so, whether temporary slavery be not already admitted among us?
4543	And shall the pubic act without an end, a view, a plan?
4543	And therefore whether a national bank would not be a security even to private bankers?
4543	And what hands were employed in this manufacture?
4543	And what inconvenience ensued to the public upon its reduction to the present value, and whether what hath been may not be?
4543	And what reason can be assigned why Ireland should not reap the benefit of such public banks as well as other countries?
4543	And what that species is which deserves most to be encouraged?
4543	And whether Rome and Florence would not be poor towns without them?
4543	And whether Spain be not an instance of this?
4543	And whether a country, where it flowed in without labour, must not be wretched and dissolute like an island inhabited by buccaneers?
4543	And whether a fever be not sometimes a cure, but whether it be not the last cure a man would choose?
4543	And whether a little sense and honesty might not easily prevent all such inconveniences?
4543	And whether a much less quantity of cash in silver would not, in reality, enrich the nation more than a much greater in gold?
4543	And whether a nation of gentlemen would not be a wretched nation?
4543	And whether a national bank would not supply such means?
4543	And whether a numerous stock of people in such circumstances would?
4543	And whether all attempts to enrich a nation by other means, as raising the coin, stock- jobbing, and such arts are not vain?
4543	And whether all deviations from that object should not be carefully avoided?
4543	And whether all these may not be procured by domestic industry out of the four elements, without ransacking the four quarters of the globe?
4543	And whether all these things might not soon be provided by a domestic industry, if money were not wanting?
4543	And whether an academy for design might not greatly conduce to the perfecting those manufactures among us?
4543	And whether an uneducated gentry be not the greatest of national evils?
4543	And whether any man borrows but with an intent to circulate?
4543	And whether any more than the right comprehension of this be necessary to make all men easy with regard to its credit?
4543	And whether any of those things can be said of claret?
4543	And whether any one from this country, who sees their towns, and manufactures, and commerce, will not wonder what our senators have been doing?
4543	And whether any part of Christendom be in a more languishing condition than this kingdom?
4543	And whether any people upon earth can do more?
4543	And whether anything but the ruin of the State can produce a national bankruptcy?
4543	And whether anything but wrong conceptions of its nature can make those that wish well to either averse from it?
4543	And whether anything can hurt us more than such jealousy?
4543	And whether at this day it hath any better chance for being considerable?
4543	And whether both nations would not find their advantage therein?
4543	And whether either be sufficiently apprised of this?
4543	And whether even obvious truths will not sometimes bear repeating?
4543	And whether even the prejudices of a people ought not to be respected?
4543	And whether every one should not lend a helping hand?
4543	And whether every such Goth among us be not an enemy to the country?
4543	And whether flax and tillage do not naturally multiply hands, and divide land into small holdings, and well- improved?
4543	And whether foreign commerce, without which the one could not subsist, be so necessary for the other?
4543	And whether gold, silver, and paper are not tickets or counters for reckoning, recording, and transferring thereof?
4543	And whether he who could have everything else at his wish or will would value money?
4543	And whether in a little time the case would not be the same as to our bank?
4543	And whether industry in private persons would not be supplied, and a general circulation encouraged?
4543	And whether it be not a vain attempt, to project the flourishing of our Protestant gentry, exclusive of the bulk of the natives?
4543	And whether it be not high time for our freethinkers to turn their thoughts to the improvement of their country?
4543	And whether it be not madness in a poor nation to imitate a rich one?
4543	And whether it be not much fitter to circulate large sums, and therefore preferable to gold?
4543	And whether it be not our part to cultivate this love and affection all manner of ways?
4543	And whether it be not true that Popish nuns are maintained by Protestant contributions?
4543	And whether it be not true that one single bookseller in London yearly expended above four thousand pounds in that foreign commodity?
4543	And whether it be of great consequence to the public that it should be real rather than notional?
4543	And whether it be wise to neglect providing against an event which experience hath shewn us not to be impossible?
4543	And whether it had been otherwise possible for England to have carried on her woollen manufacture to so great perfection?
4543	And whether it is not possible to contrive one that may be useful also in Ireland?
4543	And whether it is not to be wished that the finding of employment for themselves and others were a fashionable distinction among the ladies?
4543	And whether it is possible a country should?
4543	And whether it might not be contrived so to divide the fellows, scholars, and revenues between both, as that no member should be a loser thereby?
4543	And whether it might not be expedient to convert thirty natives- places into twenty fellowships?
4543	And whether it was not declared, that such cash should not be liable to seizure on any pretext, not even on the king''s own account?
4543	And whether it would be wrong, if the public encouraged Popish families to become hearers, by paying their hearth- money for them?
4543	And whether it would not be vain to expect this from the British Colonies in America, where hands are so scarce, and labour so excessively dear?
4543	And whether its true and just idea be not that of a ticket, entitling to power, and fitted to record and transfer such power?
4543	And whether men do not import a commodity in proportion to the demand or want of it?
4543	And whether men would not increase their fortunes without being the better for it?
4543	And whether our foreign credit doth not depend on our domestic industry, and our bills on that credit?
4543	And whether our real defect be not a wrong way of thinking?
4543	And whether our women, with little time and pains, may not make more beautiful carpets than those imported from Turkey?
4543	And whether stock- jobbing could at first have been set on foot, without an imaginary foundation of some improvement to the stock by trade?
4543	And whether such abuse might not easily be prevented?
4543	And whether such an institution would be useless among us?
4543	And whether such people ought much to be pitied?
4543	And whether that remedy be not in our power?
4543	And whether that same part of France doth not at present draw from Cadiz, upwards of two hundred thousand pounds per annum?
4543	And whether that which increaseth the current credit of a nation may not be said to increase its stock?
4543	And whether the Colonies themselves ought to wish or aim at it by others?
4543	And whether the labouring ox should be muzzled?
4543	And whether the latter can expect the same protection from the Government as the former?
4543	And whether the most pressing wants of the majority ought not to be first consider''d?
4543	And whether the negroes, amidst the gold sands of Afric, are not poor and destitute?
4543	And whether the quantum of notes ought not to bear proportion to the pubic demand?
4543	And whether the true idea of money, as such, be not altogether that of a ticket or counter?
4543	And whether there be any knowing of this but by comparison?
4543	And whether there be anything like this in the bank of Amsterdam?
4543	And whether there be anything that makes us fall short of the Dutch in damasks, diapers, and printed linen, but our ignorance in design?
4543	And whether there be not many who had rather utter their complaints than redress their evils?
4543	And whether there is an idler occupation under the sun than to attend flocks and herds of cattle?
4543	And whether there should not be great premiums for encouraging our hempen trade?
4543	And whether there were not mints in Naples and Sicily, when those kingdoms were provinces to Spain or the house of Austria?
4543	And whether these will not be lessened as our demands, and these as our wants, and these as our customs or fashions?
4543	And whether they are not actually the greater part of the money of this kingdom?
4543	And whether this article alone would not employ a world of people?
4543	And whether this be not done by avoiding fractions and multiplying small silver?
4543	And whether this be not the trade with France?
4543	And whether this branch of the woollen manufacture be not open to us?
4543	And whether this doth not principally depend on the means for counting, transferring, and preserving power, that is, property of all kinds?
4543	And whether this holds with regard to any other medicine?
4543	And whether this rise may not be sufficient?
4543	And whether this should not be our first care; and whether, if this were once provided for, the conveniences of the rich would not soon follow?
4543	And whether this would not be an infallible means of drawing men and money into the kingdom?
4543	And whether this would not be the most practicable means for converting the natives?
4543	And whether this, as it is the last, so it be not the greatest improvement?
4543	And whether those who employ neither heads nor hands for the common benefit deserve not to be expelled like drones out of a well- governed State?
4543	And whether trial must not shew what this demand will be?
4543	And whether upon this the wealth of the great doth not depend?
4543	And whether we are not that people?
4543	And whether wealth got otherwise would not be ruinous to the public?
4543	And whether whatever causeth industry to flourish and circulate may not be said to increase our treasure?
4543	And whether whole States, as well as private persons, do not often fluctuate for want of this knowledge?
4543	And whether, from the same motive, every monied man throughout this kingdom would not be cashier to our national bank?
4543	And whether, if our peasants were accustomed to eat beef and wear shoes, they would not be more industrious?
4543	And whether, in common prudence or policy, any priest should be tolerated who refuseth to take it?
4543	And whether, in different circumstances, the same ends are not obtained by different means?
4543	And whether, in order to this, the first step should not be to clothe and feed our people?
4543	And whether, in the former case, there can possibly be any gaming or stock- jobbing?
4543	And whether, on the other hand, it would not be delightful to live in a country swarming, like China, with busy people?
4543	And yet how few are the better for such their knowledge?
4543	And yet whether these things are sufficiently considered by our patriots?
4543	And yet, if there was not, whether this would be a good argument against the use of reason in pubic affairs?
4543	And yet, whether all private ends are not included in the pubic?
4543	And yet, whether each part would not except their own foible from this public sacrifice, the squire his bottle, the lady her lace?
4543	And yet, whether some men may not think this foolish circumstance a very happy one?
4543	And, if not, whether the bankers would have cause to complain?
4543	And, if so, whether it be not the most safe and prudent course to have a national bank and trust the legislature?
4543	And, if so, whether lace, carpets, and tapestry, three considerable articles of English importation, might not find encouragement in Ireland?
4543	As wealth is really power, and coin a ticket conveying power, whether those tickets which are the fittest for that use ought not to be preferred?
4543	Be the money lodged in the bank what it will, yet whether an Act to make good deficiencies would not remove all scruples?
4543	But whether a punctual people do not love punctual dealers?
4543	But whether artificial appetites may not be infinite?
4543	But whether fancy is not boundless?
4543	But whether it be not a mighty privilege for a private person to be able to create a hundred pounds with a dash of his pen?
4543	But whether it be not a notorious truth that our Irish ladies are on a foot, as to dress, with those of five times their fortune in England?
4543	But whether money without this would be a blessing to any people?
4543	But whether reason and fact are not equally clear in favour of this political medicine?
4543	But whether the ends of money itself be not bounded?
4543	But whether the lazy spendthrift must not be doubly poor?
4543	But whether the same crown may not be often paid?
4543	But whether we do not divide upon trifles, and whether our parties are not a burlesque upon politics?
4543	But whether we have not much more reason than the people of England to be displeased at this commerce?
4543	But, whether a private interest be not generally supported and pursued with more zeal than a public?
4543	But, whether any pubic expediency could countervail a real pressure on those who are least able to bear it, tenants and debtors?
4543	Do not Englishmen abroad purchase beer and cider at ten times the price of wine?
4543	How far it may be in our own power to better our affairs, without interfering with our neighbours?
4543	How far the vanity of our ladies in dressing, and of our gentlemen in drinking, contributes to the general misery of the people?
4543	How long it will be before my countrymen find out that it is worth while to spend a penny in order to get a groat?
4543	How many gentlemen are there in England of a thousand pounds per annum who never drink wine in their own houses?
4543	How much of the necessary sustenance of our people is yearly exported for brandy?
4543	How vanity is maintained in other countries?
4543	How, why, by what means, or for what end, should it become an instrument of oppression?
4543	If a man is to risk his fortune, whether it be more prudent to risk it on the credit of private men, or in that of the great assembly of the nation?
4543	If his Majesty would be pleased to grant us a mint, whether the consequences thereof may not prove a valuable consideration to the crown?
4543	If there be an open sure way to thrive, without hazard to ourselves or prejudice to our neighbours, what should hinder us from putting it in practice?
4543	If we had a mint for coining only shillings, sixpences, and copper- money, whether the nation would not soon feel the good effects thereof?
4543	If we imported neither claret from France, nor fir from Norway, what the nation would save by it?
4543	If we suppose neither sense nor honesty in our leaders or representatives, whether we are not already undone, and so have nothing further to fear?
4543	In a country where the legislative body is not fit to be trusted, what security can there be for trusting any one else?
4543	Might we not put a hand to the plough, or the spade, although we had no foreign commerce?
4543	Money being a ticket which entitles to power and records the title, whether such power avails otherwise than as it is exerted into act?
4543	Of how great consequence therefore are fashions to the public?
4543	Or supposing a will to do mischief, yet how could a national bank, modelled and administered by Parliament, put it in their power?
4543	Or, whether that faculty be acquired by study and reflection?
4543	Or, whether, if the circulation be reciprocally as the quantity of coin, the nation can be a loser?
4543	Provided silver is multiplied, be it by raising or diminishing the value of our coin, whether the great end is not answered?
4543	Provided the wheels move, whether it is not the same thing, as to the effect of the machine, be this done by the force of wind, or water, or animals?
4543	Suppose a power in the government to hurt the pubic by means of a national bank, yet what should give them the will to do this?
4543	What a folly is it to build fine houses, or establish lucrative posts and large incomes, under the notion of providing for the poor?
4543	What advantages may not Great Britain make of a country where land and labour are so cheap?
4543	What effect a general compte en banc would have in the metropolis of this kingdom with one in each province subordinate thereunto?
4543	What foreign imports may be necessary for clothing and feeding the families of persons not worth above one hundred pounds a year?
4543	What harm did England sustain about three centuries ago, when silver was coined in this kingdom?
4543	What harm was it to Spain that her provinces of Naples and Sicily had all along mints of their own?
4543	What have we to fear from such a bank, which may not be as well feared without it?
4543	What if our other gold were raised to a par with Portugal gold, and the value of silver in general raised with regard to that of gold?
4543	What makes a wealthy people?
4543	What manufactures are there in France and Venice of gilt- leather, how cheap and how splendid a furniture?
