First, it is usual for men to make the names of substances stand for things as supposed to have certain real essences, whereby they are of this or that species: and names standing for nothing but the ideas that are in men's minds, they must constantly refer their ideas to such real essences, as to their archetypes.
Lehenengoari dagokionez, gizakiek substantzien izenak esentzia errealez-horrelako edo halako espeziekoak izatea dakarkienez-hornituriko gauzak ordezkatzeko egin ohi dituzte, eta, izenek gizakien gogamenean dauden ideiak baino ordezkatzen ez dituztelarik, beren ideiak esentzia erreal horiekin lotu behar dituzte ("must refer"), haien arketipo bezala.
