Whole of the Deity, bc in chis Onc Point ot Matter, chen can chere be
Noching ac aII OF it, in the Next adjornins; buc thac must necds be
another Whole, and Nochinsche Pame with theFormer. In likreman-

Imposible for a Body, or Extended Substance, tobe one and the same, all

This Form of Doctrine, concernine Incorporeals, is necessarily taken from

Nothine in it aliene from that Essence, as consoundins the Corporeal Wa-
