The reason therefore that any particular body seems to be of a finite magnitude, or exhibits only a finite number of parts to sense, is, not because it contains no more, since in itself it contains an infinite number of parts, BUT BECAUSE THE SENSE IS NOT ACUTE ENOUGH TO DISCERN THEM. In proportion therefore as the sense is rendered more acute, it perceives a greater number of parts in the object, that is, the object appears greater, and its figure varies, those parts in its extremities which were before unperceivable appearing now to bound it in very different lines and angles from those perceived by an obtuser sense.
Gorputz konkretu batek magnitude mugatua duela ematen badu, edo zentzumenari zati-kopuru mugatua erakusten badio, ez da gehiagorik ez daukalako, zati-kopuru amaigabea baitauka bere baitan, baizik eta zentzuek ez direlako zatiok bereizteko behar bezain zorrotz. Zentzumenak zorroztasuna hartu ahala, beraz, parte gehiago bereizten ditu objektuan, hau da, objektua handiago agertzen da, eta beronen figura aldatu egiten da, lehen atzemanezinak ziren ertzetako zatiak, orain zentzumen kamutsagoak hautemandakoetatik oso bestelakoak diren lerro eta angeluz mugaturik agertzen dira.
