chap._n iii_o of_o general_a term_n §_o 1._o all_o thing_n that_o exist_v be_v particular_n it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v think_v reasonable_a that_o word_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v conform_v to_o

distinguish_v particular_a thing_n by_o appropriate_v name_n where_o convenience_n demand_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o their_o own_o species_n which_o they_o have_v most_o to_o do_v with_o and_o wherein_o they_o have_v often_o occasion_n to_o mention_v particular_a person_n there_o they_o make_v use_v of_o proper_a name_n and_o distinct_a individual_n have_v distinct_a denomination_n §_o 5._o beside_o person_n country_n also_o city_n river_n mountain_n and_o other_o the_o like_a distinction_n of_o place_n have_v usual_o find_v peculiar_a name_n and_o that_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n they_o be_v such_o as_o man_n have_v often_o a_o occasion_n to_o mark_v particular_o and_o as_o it_o be_v set_v before_o other_o in_o their_o discourse_n with_o they_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o if_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o mention_v particular_a horse_n as_o often_o as_o we_o have_v to_o mention_v particular_a man_n we_o shall_v have_v proper_a name_n for_o the_o one_o as_o familiar_a as_o for_o the_o other_o and_o bucephalus_n will_v be_v a_o word_n as_o much_o in_o use_n as_o alexander_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o among_o jockey_n horse_n have_v their_o proper_a name_n to_o

be_v out_o of_o sight_n §_o 6._o the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v how_o general_a word_n come_v to_o be_v make_v for_o since_o all_o thing_n that_o exist_v be_v only_a particular_n how_o
