For suppose the fixed heaven infinite, and that which 4 I, 7 | infinite body beyond the heaven. Nor again is there anything 5 I, 7 | beyond it. And so beyond the heaven there is no body at all. 6 I, 8 | But this being so, the heaven, by the same evidence and 7 I, 9 | must show not only that the heaven is one, but also that more 8 I, 9 | also that more than one heaven is and, further, that, as 9 I, 9 | decay and generation, the heaven is eternal. We may begin 10 I, 9 | seem impossible that the heaven should be one and unique, 11 I, 9 | explain what we mean by "heaven" and in how many senses 12 I, 9 | one sense, then, we call "heaven" the substance of the extreme 13 I, 9 | special right to the name "heaven" in the extremity or upper 14 I, 9 | these we say are "in the heaven". (c) In yet another sense 15 I, 9 | the whole or totality "the heaven". The word, then, is used 16 I, 9 | being, any body outside the heaven.

For in every place body 20 I, 9 | movement, and outside the heaven, as we have shown, body 21 I, 9 | void, nor time, outside the heaven. Hence whatever is there, 22 I, 9 | fulfilment of the whole heaven, the fulfilment which includes 23 I, 10| the question whether the heaven is ungenerated or generated, 24 I, 10| the whole is a world or heaven, then it will not be the 25 I, 10| where Plato says that the heaven, though it was generated, 26 I, 10| eternity.)

But such is the heaven, viz. a divine body, and 36 II, 3 | not the whole body of the heaven of the same character as 37 II, 3 | single movement of the whole heaven would necessitate an identical 38 II, 4 | 4~The shape of the heaven is of necessity spherical; 39 II, 4 | follow necessarily that the heaven is spherical. For if it 40 II, 4 | Again, if the motion of the heaven is the measure of all movements 41 II, 4 | clearly, the movement of the heaven must be the swiftest of 42 II, 4 | line.
