I do not know why I should not as willingly embrace either the ideas of Plato, or the atoms of Epicurus, or the plenum or vacuum of Leucippus and Democritus, or the water of Thales, or the infinity of nature of Anaximander, or the air of Diogenes, or the numbers and symmetry of Pythagoras, or the infinity of Parmenides, or the One of Musæus, or the water and fire of Apollodorus, or the similar parts of Anaxagoras, or the discord and friendship of Empedocles, or the fire of Heraclitus, or any other opinion of that infinite confusion of opinions and determinations, which this fine human reason produces by its certitude and clearsightedness in every thing it meddles withal, as I should the opinion of Aristotle upon this subject of the principles of natural things;
Ez dakit zergatik ez nituzkeen hain gogotik onartuko edo Platonen ideiak, edo Epikuroren atomoak, edo Leuziporen eta Demokritoren betea eta hutsa, edo Talesen ura, edo Anaximanderen naturaren mugagabetasuna, edo Diogenesen airea, edo Pitagorasen zenbakiak eta simetria, edo Parmenidesen mugagabea, edo Museoren bata, edo Apolodororen ura eta sua, edo Anaxagorasen zati berdinak, edo Enpedoklesen liskarra eta adiskidantza;
