3.	Nor duration by motion.
4.	Why men more easily admit infinite duration than infinite expansion.
5.	Time to duration is as place to expansion.
6.	Time and place are taken for so much of either as are set out by the existence and motion of bodies.
7.	Sometimes for so much of either as we design by measure taken from the bulk or motion of bodies.
8.	They belong to all beings.
9.	All the parts of extension are extension; and all the parts of duration are duration.

4.	Our idea of space boundless.
5.	And so of duration.
6.	Why other ideas are not capable of infinity.
7.	Difference between infinity of space and space infinite.
8.	e have no idea of infinite space.
9.	umber affords us the clearest idea of infinity.
