Singly, they are every one a representation or appearance, of some quality, or other accident of a body without us, which is commonly called an object. Which object worketh on the eyes, ears, and other parts of a man's body ; and by diversity of working, produceth diversity of appearances. The original of them all, is that which we call SENSE...
130 ページ - I must here in the entrance beg pardon of my reader for the frequent use of the word "idea," which he will find in the following treatise.
