asserts the absolute UNITY and permanence of SUBSTANCE with its two
attributes of _matter_ and _force_(= extension and thought), and their
innumerable modifications which go to form all the phenomena of the
universe."--Dr. Cohn. Under this definition, Mr. Murphy must be ranked a
Pantheist. He knows but of ONE SUBSTANCE underlying all phenomena.]

[Footnote 333: By the statical properties of matter we understand
extension, limit, position, impenetrability, and _inertia_. We have no
idea that there is a _vis inertiæ_ in matter. Vis inertiæ is a
_forceless force_, which is an absurdity. Inertness in matter is not a
force, but the opposite of a force--a passivity which requires a force
in order to change.]

368.]
