 28 XXIV      |      that God is separated from matter, or, on the contrary, that
 29 XXIV      |  maintain that God is united to matter, this is saying that there
 30 XXIV      |       God is not separated from matter, we must allow that there
 31 XXIV      |      that God is separated from matter, there must be something
 32 XXIV      |       is neither separated from matter nor united with it, but
 33 XXIV      |          as it were, locally in matter, or matter in God, let me
 34 XXIV      |     were, locally in matter, or matter in God, let me tell him,
 35 XXIV      |        argument, that if we say matter is the place of God, we
 36 XXIV      |     finite and circumscribed by matter. He must, moreover, like
 37 XXIV      |         He must, moreover, like matter, be subject to irregular
 38 XXIV      |    lower forms of being. For if matter ever was unordered, and
 39 XXIV      |   fairly ask whether God filled matter, or was in a part of it.
 40 XXIV      |       that God was in a part of matter, he makes God infinitely
 41 XXIV      |         infinitely smaller than matter: if a part really contained
 42 XXIV      |         says that God is in all matter and pervades the whole of
 43 XXIV      |       and pervades the whole of matter, let him tell us how God
 44 XXIV      |       tell us how God worked on matter. Either there was some contraction
 45 XXIV      |       at Himself as well as the matter, because He had no place
 46 XXIV      |      any one will maintain that matter is in God, we must similarly
 47 XXIV      |       things in Him, or whether matter is in Him locally, like
 48 XXIV      |        in earth. If we say that matter is in Him like birds in
 49 XXIV      |       divisible; if we say that matter is in God as water is in
 50 XXIV      |       water is in earth, and if matter was in a state of confusion
 51 XXIV      |      postulate the existence of matter, so that you may not have
 52 XXIV      |       leads you to suppose that matter was originally uncreated,
 53 XXIV      |       to exist, and, if because matter is subject to God, we cannot
 54 XXIV      |         to say that unqualified matter is co-existent with God,
 55 XXIV      |         so to me. ~So, then, if matter had no qualities, and the
 56 XXIV      |     nothing. Let us look at the matter this way. Among ourselves
 57 XXIV      |   qualities of substances. ~But matter, you thought, was unqualified
 58 XXIV      |         if evil is a quality of matter, and matter was unqualified,
 59 XXIV      |        a quality of matter, and matter was unqualified, and you
 60 XXIV      |       make Him inseparable from matter. If you have any answer
 61 XXIV      |     premises; for, in truth, if matter was unqualified, and God
 62 XXIV      |         to speak of unqualified matter, for we cannot say that
 63 XXIV      |          and the description of matter thus given, point out a
 64 XXIV      |   please, once more discuss the matter with me; for matter seems
 65 XXIV      |         the matter with me; for matter seems to me to have had
 66 XXIV      |         evil is an effluence of matter, it is that God may not
 67 XXIV      |       be the cause of evil, but matter the cause of all the evil
 68 XXIV      |        not right in saying that matter was qualified from all eternity.
 69 XXIV      |         qualities themselves in matter from the very first, or
 70 XXIV      |      eternally co-existent with matter. ~But do you not say that
 71 XXIV      |         things are qualities of matter, and God changed its qualities
 72 XXIV      |      the change which God made, matter acquired its first bad qualities,
 73 XXIV      |        when He began to work at matter. If he had not concerned
 74 XXIV      |   concerned Himself at all with matter, He would not have been
 75 XXIV      |     because He left part of the matter in its evil state, to the
 76 XXIV      |       been done to this part of matter; inasmuch as though He reduced
 77 XXIV      |        the present condition of matter is worse than that of the
 78 XXIV      |     intended for the benefit of matter is found to have done it
 79 XXIV      |      you a short question about matter itself. Tell me, is matter
 80 XXIV      |      matter itself. Tell me, is matter simple or compound? for
 81 XXIV      |        turn in the argument. If matter is simple and uniform, and
 82 XXIV      |   cannot say that it is made of matter, because compound things
 83 XXIV      |        other hand, you say that matter is compound, you will certainly
 84 XXIV      |        compounded together that matter was made; and this shows
 85 XXIV      |       made; and this shows that matter was created. For if matter
 86 XXIV      |      matter was created. For if matter is compound, and compound
 87 XXIV      |   things, there was a time when matter was not, that is, before
 88 XXIV      |        if there was a time when matter was not, and there never
 89 XXIV      |        was not, it follows that matter cannot be uncreated. But
 90 XXIV      |      the simple things of which matter is compounded were uncreated,
 91 XXIV      |        are not one and the same matter, nor made of one and the
 92 XXIV      |        made of one and the same matter. And I wish to ask you a
 93 XXIV      |         mentioned, are parts of matter? ~Just so. ~And do you not
 94 XXIV      |       parts of one and the same matter. But in fact they will not
 95 XXIV      |        in fact they will not be matter at all, because that nothing
 96 XXIV      |       other things. So then, if matter is a single substance, it
 97 XXIV      |   appears that there is no such matter. ~The foregoing is taken
