 1     II,  12|          occurrence may be past or future, yet the cause will be the
 2     II,  12|         past the cause is past, if future the cause is future. For
 3     II,  12|             if future the cause is future. For example, the moon was
 4     II,  12|         are past and when they are future. But what of cases where
 5     II,  12|           different from itself, a future effect from a future cause
 6     II,  12|             a future effect from a future cause different from it,
 7     II,  12|          good if the occurrence is future)-cannot reason because,
 8     II,  12|           argument applies also to future events; i.e. one cannot
 9     II,  12|        occurred in the past that a future event will occur. The reason
10     II,  12|        when the extremes are past, future when they are future, coming
11     II,  12|         past, future when they are future, coming to be when they
12     II,  12|     extremes respectively past and future. And it is a further difficulty
13     II,  12|         major. The like is true of future events too, since if it
14     II,  12| divisibility might be urged, since future events are not "contiguous".
