Lines & points conceiv’d as terminations different ideas from those conceiv’d absolutely. Every position alters a line. (M366) Blind man at 1st would not take colours to be without his mind; but colours would seem to be in the same place with the coloured extension: therefore extension wd not seem to be without the mind. All visible concentric circles whereof the eye is the centre are absolutely equal. Infinite number—why absurd—not rightly solv’d by Locke(216). Qu. how ’tis possible we should see flats or right lines? Qu. why the moon appears greatest in the horizon(217)? Qu. why we see things erect when painted inverted(218)? ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ (M367) Question put by Mr. Deering touching the thief and paradise. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ (M368) Matter tho’ allowed to exist may be no greater than a pin’s head. Motion is proportionable to space described in given time. Velocity not proportionable to space describ’d in given time. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ (M369) No active power but the Will: therefore Matter, if it exists, affects us not(219). ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Magnitude when barely taken for the _ratio partium extra partes_, or rather for co-existence & succession, without considering the parts co-existing & succeeding, is infinitely, or rather indefinitely, or not at all perhaps, divisible, because it is itself infinite or indefinite. But definite, determined magnitudes, i.e. lines or surfaces consisting of points whereby (together wth distance & position) they are determin’d, are resoluble into those points. Again. Magnitude taken for co-existence and succession is not all divisible, but is one simple idea. Simple ideas include no parts nor relations—hardly separated and considered in themselves—nor yet rightly singled by any author. Instance in power, red, extension, &c. (M370) Space not imaginable by any idea received from sight—not imaginable without body moving. Not even then necessarily existing (I speak of infinite space)—for wt the body has past may be conceiv’d annihilated. (M371) Qu. What can we see beside colours? what can we feel beside hard, soft, cold, warm, pleasure, pain? Qu. Why not taste & smell extension? Qu. Why not tangible & visible extensions thought heterogeneous extensions, so well as gustable & olefactible perceptions thought heterogeneous perceptions? or at least why not as heterogeneous as blue & red? Moon wn horizontal does not appear bigger as to visible extension than at other times; hence difficulties and disputes about things seen under equal angles &c. cease. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ All _potentiæ_ alike indifferent. A. B. Wt does he mean by his _potentia_? Is it the will, desire, person, or all or neither, or sometimes one, sometimes t’other? No agent can be conceiv’d indifferent as to pain or pleasure.
