Denique cur homines tantos natura parare non potuit, pedibus qui pontum per vada possent transire et magnos manibus divellere montis multaque vivendo vitalia vincere saecla, si non materies quia rebus reddita certast gignundis e qua constat quid possit oriri? nil igitur fieri de nilo posse fatendumst, semine quando opus est rebus quo quaeque creatae aeris in teneras possint proferrier auras.
Again, why could not nature produce men so large that they could wade through the deep sea as a ford and tear asunder great mountains with their hands and outlive many generations of life, if it is not because a fixed material is assigned for making things, from which what can arise is fixed? Therefore we must confess that nothing can come from nothing, since all things must have seed, from which each being created may be brought forth into the soft breezes of air.
