3. Nor duration by motion.
Just so is it in duration. The mind having got the idea of any length of duration, can
double, multiply, and enlarge it, not only beyond its own, but beyond the existence of all corporeal beings, and all
the measures of time, taken from the great bodies of all the world and their motions. But yet every one easily
admits, that, though we make duration boundless, as certainly it is, we cannot yet extend it beyond all being. God,
every one easily allows, fills eternity; and it is hard to find a reason why any one should doubt that He likewise
fills immensity. His infinite being is certainly as boundless one way as another; and methinks it ascribes a little
too much to matter to say, where there is no body, there is nothing.
