CHAP. XVI. Concerning the Section of Bodies. [ 30]

DEMOCRITUS and EPICURUS hold, that this section staieth either at the Atomes indi∣visible, or at those small bodies which have no parts, neither doth this division (say they) passe infinitely.
ARISTOTLE saith, that divided they be in infinitum, potentially, but actually not.
