Konany—antse， a very ancient philosopher， in commenting upon the samesacred books， says， "Heaven and earth， tho" they be of an immense extent， havefigure， colour， number， and quantity.I conceive something that has neithercolour， number， figure， nor quantity； and therefore I say that he who made theheavens and the earth is intelligent and eternal.He who produced all things wasnot produced himself； he who destroys all things， is indestructible； therefore hewho made the heavens is not the heavens， and he who made the earth is not theearth； the heavens are not self—existent， but were produced by another， as a housecannot exist by itself， unless it be made.
