At the same time, if this be the case [that 6 6| a stroke reaches us some time after it has been struck. 7 6| corresponding interval of time also in which it is moved 8 6| the other. But any given time is divisible into parts; 9 6| that we should assume a time when the sun’s ray was not 10 7| coinstantaneously in the same individual time? The above assumption explains 11 7| eyes, if they are at the time deep in thought, or in a 12 7| being unnoticed whenever the time it involves is [so small 13 7| fact that the intervals of time [between the really successive 14 7| conceivable that any portion of time should be [absolutely] imperceptible, 15 7| perceive every instant of time.
