Praeterea spatium summai totius omne undique si inclusum certis consisteret oris finitumque foret, iam copia materiai undique ponderibus solidis confluxet ad imum, nec res ulla geri sub caeli tegmine posset, nec foret omnino caelum neque lumina solis, quippe ubi materies omnis cumulata iaceret ex infinito iam tempore subsidendo.
Besides, if all the space in the universe stood contained within fixed boundaries on all sides and all were limited, by this time the store of matter would by its solid weight have run together from all sides to the bottom, nor could anything be done under the canopy of heaven, nor would heaven exist at all or the suns light, because assuredly all matter would be lying in a heap from sinking down through infinite ages past.
