1 I, 1 | the dimensions, one sort being continuous in one direction, 2 I, 1 | defective, since it has being in every respect. Now bodies 3 I, 1 | meaning of the word, have being, not in some respect only, 4 I, 2 | that circular movement, being a simple motion, must be 5 I, 2 | that circular movement, being unnatural to these bodies, 6 I, 2 | continuous and eternal, being nevertheless contrary to 7 I, 3 | the way of locomotion by being forced violently aside in 8 I, 3 | that comes to be comes into being from its contrary and in 9 I, 3 | disease, do not come into being without changes of properties. 10 I, 3 | the straight, the latter being subdivided into motion away 11 I, 4 | circular, movement from A to B being opposed as contrary to movement 12 I, 5 | 5~This being clear, we must go on to 13 I, 5 | that, an infinite circle being itself an impossibility, 14 I, 6 | The centre, therefore, being determinate, the upper place 15 I, 6 | one another. (For the mass being infinite you may subtract 16 I, 6 | in a less time, the times being in inverse proportion to 17 I, 6 | if there is such a thing, being, on the one hand, as great 18 I, 6 | will move accordingly, but being, on the other hand, compelled 19 I, 7 | For the primary movements being finite in number, the kinds 20 I, 7 | A and B be infinites, CD being the time of the action A 21 I, 7 | the power of acting or of being acted upon, or both of these, 22 I, 8 | Further, these worlds, being similar in nature to ours, 23 I, 8 | extremity one as suggested. This being so, it follows that there 24 I, 8 | numerically one. But this being so, the heaven, by the same 25 I, 8 | starting-point and the goal being different in form, and always 26 I, 9 | will remain between the being of circle and of this particular 27 I, 9 | particular circle, the one being form, the other form in 28 I, 9 | distinction between the being of "this universe" and of " 29 I, 9 | matter can never come into being in the absence of all matter. 30 I, 9 | matter, then though the being of "universe" and of "this 31 I, 9 | no possibility of others being made, because all the matter 32 I, 9 | neither is, nor can come into being, any body outside the heaven. 33 I, 9 | divine. From it derive the being and life which other things, 34 I, 10| could never have come into being. And (2) if the world did 35 I, 10| the world did come into being, then, clearly, their condition 36 I, 10| the world that comes into being and is destroyed, but only 37 I, 10| since before it came into being there was always present 38 I, 11| process of becoming or change being involved. Such is the case, 39 I, 11| thing can ever come into being, and secondly, where it 40 I, 11| capable of existing, "capable" being defined with reference either 41 I, 11| which the passage from not being to being belongs, whether 42 I, 11| passage from not being to being belongs, whether already 43 I, 11| be, whether a period of being destroyed and changed intervenes 44 I, 11| like contact, which without being destroyed afterwards is 45 I, 11| destroyed with difficulty.~This being so, we must ask what we 46 I, 12| are thing! capable both of being and of not being, there 47 I, 12| both of being and of not being, there must be some definite 48 I, 12| definite maximum time of their being and not being; a time, I 49 I, 12| time of their being and not being; a time, I mean, during 50 I, 12| have the capacity of not being. Now if it exists for infinite 51 I, 12| power for some time of not being. For as that which formerly 52 I, 12| some future time of not being, is destructible, so that 53 I, 12| for such a capacity of not being, whether the supposed time 54 I, 12| infinite; for its capacity of being must include the finite 55 I, 12| is incapable of ever not being, cannot possibly be generated. 56 I, 12| which is always capable of being" "that which is not always 57 I, 12| is not always capable of being"; while "that which is always 58 I, 12| is always capable of not being" is the contrary, whose 59 I, 12| not always capable of not being", it is necessary that the 60 I, 12| should be that to which being and not-being are both possible; 61 I, 12| will have the power of being, and will thus be intermediate 62 I, 12| A and B, not capable of being present in any one thing 63 I, 12| either B or D are capable of being present in everything. Then 64 I, 12| at once capable of always being and capable of not always 65 I, 12| and capable of not always being, but it has already been 66 I, 12| whatever is ungenerated and in being must be eternal, and whatever 67 I, 12| is indestructible and in being must equally be so. (I use 68 I, 12| these is capable both of being and of not being for a definite 69 I, 12| both of being and of not being for a definite time: in 70 I, 12| is capable of acting or being acted upon, of being or 71 I, 12| or being acted upon, of being or not being, either for 72 I, 12| acted upon, of being or not being, either for an infinite, 73 I, 12| after an infinity of not being, was it generated, at one 74 I, 12| time the capacity of not being (since the capacity of being 75 I, 12| being (since the capacity of being and the capacity of not 76 I, 12| and the capacity of not being will be present together), 77 I, 12| time the capacity both of being and of not being; but this 78 I, 12| both of being and of not being; but this has been shown 79 I, 12| which it was capable of being generated. At that time, 80 I, 12| time it had the capacity of being, both of being then and 81 I, 12| capacity of being, both of being then and of being thereafter, 82 I, 12| both of being then and of being thereafter, and therefore 83 I, 12| the matter of the thing being the cause equally of its 84 I, 12| actuality what it is capable of being. It will then be true to 85 I, 12| No capacity relates to being in the past, but always 86 I, 12| the past, but always to being in the present or future. 87 II, 1 | whole neither came into being nor admits of destruction, 88 II, 1 | contains; and this motion, being perfect, contains those 89 II, 1 | heaven or upper place, as being alone immortal; and our 90 II, 1 | says that the world, by being whirled round, received 91 II, 1 | movement involves constraint, being imposed on the first body, 92 II, 2 | but only in those which, being animate, have a principle 93 II, 2 | left within it, all parts being alike and all for ever in 94 II, 2 | between its poles, one pole being above and the other below; 95 II, 2 | the left side; the fact being the exact opposite. Relatively, 96 II, 3 | subsequent to the natural, being a derangement of the natural 97 II, 4 | number one, the triangle, being the sum of two right angles, 98 II, 4 | movements whatever in virtue of being alone continuous and regular 99 II, 6 | then that which is moved, being a body, is nevertheless 100 II, 6 | contains nothing unnatural, being simple and unmixed and in 101 II, 7 | be fire, the presumption being that a thing is composed 102 II, 8 | observe it. The visual ray being excessively prolonged becomes 103 II, 11| of the heavenly bodies being spherical, clearly the rest 104 II, 12| other of these is for such a being the end. For while it is 105 II, 12| is clearly best for any being to attain the real end, 106 II, 12| it is fixed, each sphere being actually a body; so that 107 II, 13| flatness (the air beneath being withdrawn) cease to prevent 108 II, 13| thirsty, and both equally, yet being equidistant from food and 109 II, 14| straight line to the centre. Being, then, constrained and unnatural, 110 II, 14| supposing the earth to come into being in the way that some of 111 II, 14| equally every way, the less being forced to equalize itself 112 III, 1 | had no idea of any form of being other than the substance 113 III, 1 | ungenerated, but that after being generated some things remained 114 III, 2 | produces upward motion, being propelled and set in motion 115 III, 5 | distinction between bodies being quantity, the various sizes 116 III, 6 | synthesis, which is infinite, being preceded by the period of 117 III, 6 | since that which comes into being and that out of which it 118 III, 8 | of connecting and uniting being a mark of fire, while the 119 IV, 1 | because they have the power of being moved naturally in a certain 120 IV, 2 | triangles, the only difference being in the number of such parts, 121 IV, 2 | the bulk, the lesser bulk being often superior in weight ( 122 IV, 2 | moves upward (except as being passed by other things or 123 IV, 3 | their matter is nearest to being.
