On whichever side we turn this subject, we shall find that these are the only impressions such an object can produce after the supposed annihilation; and it has already been remarked, that impressions can give rise to no ideas, but to such as resemble them.
Since a body interposed betwixt two others may be supposed to be annihilated, without producing any change upon such as lie on each hand of it, it is easily conceived, how it may be created anew, and yet produce as little alteration.

Now the motion of a body has much the same effect as its creation.

The distant bodies are no more affected in the one case, than in the other.

This suffices to satisfy the imagination, and proves there is no repugnance in such a motion.
