| Paragraph 1 |
To 'have' or 'hold' means many things: |
| Paragraph 2 |
(1) to treat a thing according
to one's own nature or according to
one's own impulse; |
| Paragraph 3 |
(2) That in which a thing is present
as in something receptive of it is said to have the thing; |
| Paragraph 4 |
(3) As that which contains holds the things contained; |
| Paragraph 5 |
(4) That
which hinders a thing from moving or acting according to its own impulse
is said to hold it, as pillars hold the incumbent weights, and as
the poets make Atlas hold the heavens, implying that otherwise they
would collapse on the earth, as some of the natural philosophers also
say. |
| Paragraph 6 |
'Being in something' has similar and corresponding meanings to 'holding'
or 'having'. |
