Aristotle in the beginning of his 6th booke of his physicks, & in the
26th treatise of the 5th booke, defineth those thinges to be continua
quorum extrema sunt unum. And in the 22nd treatise of the said 5th booke

Now for the understandingbetter explication of meaning of the definitions as also of their truth. Let us
understand first two materiall cubes A & B to be separate, that is, to be in diverse
