3. Things named, are either the _objects_ themselves, as a man; or the _conception_ itself that we have of man, as shape and motion: or some privation, which is when we conceive that there is something which we conceive, not in him; as when we conceive he is not just, not finite, we give him the name of unjust, of infinite, which signify privation or defect; and to the privations themselves we give the names of injustice and infiniteness: so that here be _two sorts_ of names; one of _things_, in which we conceive something; or of the conceptions themselves, which are called _positive_: the other of things wherein we conceive _privation_ or defect, and those names are called _privative_. [Sidenote: Advantage of names maketh us capable of science.] 4. By the advantage of _names_ it is that we are capable of _science_, which beasts, for want of them are not; nor man, without the use of them: for as a beast misseth not one or two out of many her young ones, for want of those names of order, one, two, and three, and which we call _number_; so neither would a man, without repeating orally or mentally the words of number, know how many pieces of money or other things lie before him. [Sidenote: Names universal and singular.] 5. Seeing there be _many_ conceptions of _one_ and the same thing, and for _every_ conception we give it a _several_ name; it followeth that for one and the same thing, we have many names or attributes; as to the same man we give the appellations of _just_, _valiant_, &c. for divers _virtues_; of _strong_, _comely_, &c. for divers _qualities_ of the _body_. And again, because from divers things we receive like conceptions, many things must needs have the same appellation: as to all things we _see_, we give the same name of _visible_; and to all things we _see moveable_, we give the appellation of _moveable_: and those names we give to _many_, are called _universal_ to them all; as the name of man to every particular of mankind: such appellation as we give to _one_ only thing, we call _individual_, or singular; as Socrates, and other proper names: or, by circumlocution, he that writ the _Iliads_, for Homer. [Sidenote: Universals not in _rerum natura_.]
