And therefore, if his idea of eternity be infinite, so is his idea of immensity; they are both finite or infinite alike.

The Power of Annihilation proves a Vacuum.
Farther, those who assert the impossibility of space existing without matter, must not only make body infinite, but must also deny a power in God to annihilate any part of matter.

No one, I suppose, will deny that God can put an end to all motion that is in matter, and fix all the bodies of the universe in a perfect quiet and rest, and continue them so long as he pleases.

Whoever then will allow that God can, during such a general rest, ANNIHILATE either this book or the body of him that reads it, must necessarily admit the possibility of a vacuum.

For, it is evident that the space that was filled by the parts of the annihilated body will still remain, and be a space without body.
