16. Division of beings into bodies and spirits proves not space and body the same.
Those who contend that space
and body are the same, bring this dilemma:--either this space is something or nothing; if nothing be between two
bodies, they must necessarily touch; if it be allowed to be something, they ask, Whether it be body or spirit? To
which I answer by another question, Who told them that there was, or could be, nothing but solid beings, which
could not think, and thinking beings that were not extended?--which is all they mean by the terms body and
spirit.
