Book IV, none of them, befldes it felf, prefent to the Underfiarlding r, '.tis neceliary that fomething elfe, as a Sign or Reprefentation of the thing; it confiders, fuould be prefent to it: And thefe are Ir!eaJ. ·And becaute t)le Idw of · one.l\i~n· s Mind can hot immediately be laid open ~o the view of another ; nor llethemfelves laid up any where, but in the Memory, which is apt to let tbe{Il go and1lofe them: Therefore to communicate our Ideas one to another, a5 well as record them for our own ufe, Signs of our Idea~ are allo neceJTary. Thofe which Men have • foumf mofi convenient, a Ad th~refore generall:r make ufe of, are articulate Sounds. The Confidcration then of ideas anc;l Words•, ·as the great Infiruments of r Knowledge, make no defpicable part of their Contemplation, 'who would take a view of humane Knowledge in the whole Extent of it. And, perhaps, if they were difiinctly weighed, and duly confidered, they would afford us another fort of Logick and Critick, than what we have been hithpto ao- <JU'\i~ted with. , r ' i ~· 5'· TbiJ fee!Oii to n\e the jirj and mofl gen.,al, ar weD 11r natural divifto » of the Objects of our Underfianding. For Iince a Man cab employ his Thoughts about nothing, but either the Contemplation ~f Thing$ themfelves for the difcovery of Truth; Or about the Things in 'his own Power, which are his own Actions, for the Attainment of his own Bods; Or the Signs the Mind makes ufe of, both in the one and the other, and the right ordering of them for it~ clearer' Information. All which three, '!Jiz. Things as they are in themfelvesknowable; Actions as they depend on us, in ordertoHappinefs; and t\leright ufe of Signs in order to Knowledge, being toto caolo ditTerent, they feemed to me to be the three great Provinces of the intellectual World, wholly feparate and difiinel one fro~ a,nother. r .,v·· ,, '' '• F,.I N IS.
