The idea, therefore, of place we have by the same means that we get the idea of space, (whereof this is but a particular limited consideration,) viz.

by our sight and touch; by either of which we receive into our minds the ideas of extension or distance.
11.

Extension and Body not the same.
There are some that would persuade us, that body and extension are the same thing, who either change the signification of words, which I would not suspect them of,--they having so severely condemned the philosophy of others, because it hath been too much placed in the uncertain meaning, or deceitful obscurity of doubtful or insignificant terms.

If, therefore, they mean by body and extension the same that other people do, viz.

by BODY something that is solid and extended, whose parts are separable and movable different ways; and by EXTENSION, only the space that lies between the extremities of those solid coherent parts, and which is possessed by them,--they confound very different ideas one with another; for I appeal to every man's own thoughts, whether the idea of space be not as distinct from that of solidity, as it is from the idea of scarlet colour?
It is true, solidity cannot exist without extension, neither can scarlet colour exist without extension, but this hinders not, but that they are distinct ideas.
