HOW OTHER BEINGS MOVE.[314]

2. How do the other beings move? As none of them is the whole, but

only a part, consequently, each finds itself situated in a particular

place. On the contrary, the heavens are the whole; they constitute the

place which excludes nothing, because it is the universe. As to the law

according to which men move, each of them, considered in his dependence

towards the universe, is a part of all; considered in himself, he is a

whole.
