For nothing hath no limits, cannot be moved or changed, or divided, is neither created nor deftroyed. A different way of thinking ap- pears in the Hermaic as well as other writings of the ancients. With regard to abfolute ipace, it is obferved in the Afclepian dialogue, that the word Space or Place hath by itfelf no meaning ; and again, that it is impoffible to underftand what fpace alone or . Pure fpace is. And Plotinus ac- ^knowledgeth no place but foul or mind, exprefly affirming that the fo...ul is not in the world, but the world in the foul. And farther, the place of the foul, faith he, is not body, but foul is in mind, and body in foul. See the third chapter of the fifth book of the fifth Ennead. R 271. ( '30 ) 271. Concerning abfolute fpace, that phantome of the mechanic and geometrical phiJofophers (), it may fuffice to obferve, that it is neither per- ceived by any fenfe, nor proved by any reafon, and was accordingly treated by the greateft of the ancients as a thing merely vifionary.
