25. For supposing it were 5639 miles, or millions of miles, from this place to the remotest body of the universe, (for, being finite, it must be at a certain distance,) as we suppose it to be 5639 years from this time to the first existence of any body in the beginning of the world;-we can, in our thoughts, apply this measure of a year to duration before the creation, or beyond the duration of bodies or motion, as we can this measure of a mile to space beyond the utmost bodies; and by the one measure duration, where there was no motion, as well as by the other measure space in our thoughts, where there is no body.
25. Zeren, suposaturik hemendik unibertsoko gorputzik urrunduenera 5639 milia edo milioi milia daudela (unibertsoa finitua delarik, distantziaren bat egon behar baitu), gure denboratik munduaren hasieran lehenengo gorputza existitzen hasi zenera 5639 urte iragan direla suposa dezakegun modura, urtebeteko neurri hau geure pentsamenduetan kreazio aurreko iraupenari, edo gorputzen edo higiduren iraupenetik harago, aplika diezaiokegu, miliabeteko neurri hau gorputz urrunduenetatik haragoko espazioari bezalaxe eta, eta neurri bataz, higiduraren ez zegoen aldiaren iraupena neur dezakegun moduan, beste neurriaz gorputzik ez dagoen tokiko espazioa neur dezakegu geure pentsamenduetan.
