point or moment of Time: Nor doth the Addition ot 
Subduflrion of finite Length or Space of time alter 
the cafe either in Infinity or Eternity, fince both the 
one or the other cannot be any part of the whole. 
As to Infinite Surface or Area , any right Line, 
infinitely extended both ways on an infinite Plane, does 
divide that infinite Plane into equal parts, the one to 
the right and the other to the left of the faid Line 5 but 
if from any point in fuch a Plane two right Lines be in- 
finitely extended fo as to make an Angle, the infinite 
Area, intercepted between thofe infinite right Lines, is 
to the whole infinite Plane, as the Arch of a Circle, on 
the point of concourfeof thofe Lines as a Centre, inter- 
cepted between the faid Lines is to the Circumference 
of the Circle 3 or as the Degrees of the Angle to the 
360 Degrees of a Circle. For example, ' two right 
Lines meeting at a right Angle do include, on an infi- 
nite Plane, a quarter part of the whole infinite Area of 
fuch a Plane. 
But if fo be two parallel infinite Lines be fuppofed 
drawn on fuch an infinite Plain, . the Area intercepted 
between them will be likewife infinite y but at the fame 
time will be infinitely lefs than that Space which is inter- 
cepted between two infinite Lines that are inclined, 
tho with never fo fmall an Angle, for that in the one 
cafe the given finite Diftance oi the parallel Lio^s di- 
minifhes the Infinity in one degree of Dimensions 
whereas in a Se&or, there is Infinity in both Dimensi- 
ons: and consequently the Quantities are the one infi- 
nitely greater than the other, and there is no Proporti- 
on between them. 
From the fame Cpnfideration arife the Three feve- 
fal Species of infinite Space or Solidity, as has been faid, 
for a Parallelepipide or a Cylinder infinitely long is 
greater than any finite Magnitude how great foever, and 
ail fuch Solids fuppofed to be formed on given Bafes,
