Locke believes that we know the existence of things well but regarding the nature of the things, we are not so capable of understanding. He creates a three part argument of the knowledge of the existence of things. The first part of the argument deals with our knowledge over ourselves, intution. The second part of the argument deals with our knowledge of the existence of God or demonstration. The third part deals with our knowledge of the existence of the external world, which is known through sensitive knowledge.

also earlier in the book he mentions you won't know everything. some things are out of our knowledge. he says be less worried about what you don't need to know and work on knowing what you need to know.
