 The sub-species includes attributes such as the sun’s power to melt wax and thereby give it the power to cause ideas of warmth. According to Locke, these attributes are commonly regarded as powers but are “as much real Qualities in the Subject, as those which I to comply with the common way of speaking, call Qualities, but for distinction, secondary Qualities,” (E 2.8.10; E 2.31.2) Recall that Boyle uses the traditional term “sensible qualties” to signify warmth, color, etc. So SQs are designated by the term “quality” but are wrongly supposed to be qualities.
