Book III, Of Words, examines how words signify ideas, how general terms are formed, how names of substances differ from those of simple ideas and mixed modes, and how the imperfection and abuse of words breed confusion. Book IV, Of Knowledge and Probability, treats the degrees and extent of knowledge, truth, maxims, our knowledge of our own existence, of God, and of other things, and then judgment, probability, faith and reason, and error. The text is based on the second edition.
