1 Parme| falls very far short of the infinite subtlety of language and 2 Parme| or is or is not finite or infinite. Or if the world is or is 3 Parme| or end; or is or is not infinite, or infinitely divisible. 4 Parme| regarded as finite, then as infinite, then as neither finite 5 Parme| then as neither finite nor infinite, to which some of them had 6 Parme| only neither finite nor infinite, neither at rest nor in 7 Parme| it is, becomes many and infinite. Again, let us conceive 8 Parme| number exist? And number is infinite, and therefore existence 9 Parme| therefore existence must be infinite, for all and every number 10 Parme| parts by being is many and infinite. But the parts are parts 11 Parme| therefore limited as well as infinite in number; and that which 12 Parme| other than one are many and infinite; and however small a fraction 13 Parme| they are finite and also infinite: finite through participation 14 Parme| participation in the one, infinite in their own nature. And 15 Parme| are alike; and as being infinite, they are alike; but as 16 Parme| being both finite and also infinite, they are in the highest 17 Parme| number, as capable of further infinite subdivision: (4) The argument 18 Parme| furnished an explanation of the infinite variety of forces which 19 Parme| and not experience this infinite multiplication.~And can 20 Parme| the one, if it is, must be infinite in multiplicity?~Clearly.~ 21 Parme| there must also be many, and infinite multiplicity of being; for 22 Parme| of being; for number is infinite in multiplicity, and partakes 23 Parme| parts by being, is many and infinite?~True.~Then not only the 24 Parme| participate in the one be infinite in number?~How so?~Let us 25 Parme| as whole and parts, are infinite, and also partake of limit.~ 26 Parme| every particle of them is infinite in number; and even if a 27 Parme| single thing appears to be infinite, since it is deprived of 28 Parme| others must appear to be infinite and finite, and one and
