The absurd account of memory by the brain, &c. makes for me.

Impossible anything besides that wch thinks and is thought on should exist[58].
That wch is visible cannot be made up of invisible things.
M.S. is that wherein there are not contain'd distinguishable sensible parts. Now how can that wch hath not sensible parts be divided into sensible parts? If you say it may be divided into insensible parts, I say these are nothings.
Extension abstract from sensible qualities is no sensation, I grant; but then there is no such idea, as any one may try[59]. There is onely a considering the number of points without the sort of them, & this makes more for me, since it must be in a considering thing.
Mem. Before I have shewn the distinction between visible & tangible extension, I must not mention them as distinct. I must not mention M. T. & M. V., but in general M. S., &c.[60]
