faculties, and to have introduced fuch Principles^ whereby 
he might aflert a 2V^f<?^/y of Exiftence in Matter. 
Next, he maketh it his bufinels to demonftratejthat there 
is fome Extended immoveablcj not imaginary^but real.Be*' 
ing , diftindt from moveable Matter 5 which thing he 
maketh Spiritual and Immaterial , pervading the whole 
Univerfe and penetrating all Matter, and that which haih 
ever been and will be for ever (independently from our 
cogitation) and is fomething Divine. Where itmay 
obTerved, that, whereas Des -Cartes will have that Space , 
which is called Vacuum ^ to be that Corporeal fubftance^ , 
called i^^^^^-r, he (our Author) labours to fliew^ thatthat 
Space or Internal Place is really diftincSi: from Martefj and 
an Incorporeal Spirit 5 affirming thereupon, that by the 
lame door,by which \\\cCartefia?i Philofophy feeais to have 
endeavour'd to exclude God out of the World, he hath a- 
gain introduced him, and attributing the fame Titles to 
this Internal place, thatare afcribed to God, and making 
the Exiftence of this Space as eternal and neceiTaryj as that 
of a Deity. See p. 6^. 64. 66, 69. 71. 72, 
From this Extended Immoveable Subftance he de- 
daceth, that all Spirit^ coatradiftmil to M arer, is extciid- 
ed or hath an Amplitude^ yet not Phyfically^chough iw:n- 
tally, divifible into parrs ; and would have us confider this 
inimenfe and immaterial fpace and fubftance as fofne Re- 
prefentation of the Divine Effencc^ yet with a precition 
from the Life and Operations of the fame* 
Then proceeding to ihcFirJi Matter^ as 'tis in it fclf, he 
defineth it to be an Homogeneal Congeries of Phyfical 
Monads or minute particles^ that are not any more di^ 
vifible^ and that are impenetrable, and uncapable to co- 
here and move of themfelves, though capable to be united 
andmov'd ; whence he efteems, that the Exiftence of an 
Incorporeal fubftance can be fufficiently demonftrated 5 
forafmuch as thofe minute particles cannot coalefcenor 
fiaove of themfelveso
