3. Nor duration by motion.
4. Why men more easily admit infinite duration than infinite

expansion.
5. Time to duration is as place to expansion.
6. Time and place are taken for so much of either as are set

out by the existence and motion of bodies. 7. Sometimes for so much of either as we design by measure

taken from the bulk or motion of bodies. 8. They belong to all beings. 9. All the parts of extension are extension; and all the parts

of duration are duration. 10. Their parts inseparable. 11. Duration is as a line, expansion as a solid. 12. Duration has never two parts together, expansion all

together.

tion, and expansion. 12. Infinite divisibility. 13, 14. No positive idea of infinity. 15, 19. What is positive, what negative, in our idea of infinite. 16, 17. We have no positive idea of infinite duration.
