Canonical reference B3.C6.S18
English
Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
Fourthly, The real essences of those things which we distinguish into species, and as so distinguished we name, ought to be known; i.e. we ought to have ideas of them. But since we are ignorant in these four points, the supposed real essences of things stand US not in stead for the distinguishing substances into species.
French
Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Il faut, en quatriéme lieu, que les Eſſences réelles de ces choſes que nous diſtinguons en Eſpèces & auxquelles nous donnons des noms après les avoir ainſi diſtinguées, nous ſoient connuës, c’eſt-à-dire que nous devons en avoir les idées. Mais comme nous ſommes dans l’ignorance ſur ces quatres articles les eſſences réelles des Choſes ne nous ſervent de rien à diſtinguer les Subſtances en Eſpèces.
