The Infinite Subsists

A day and a contest are said to subsist, the being of which is not generated as a certain essence, but always consists in generation or corruption. Though they are finite, yet there is always another and another, this however happens in magnitudes that remaining which was assumed. In men and time these being corrupted so as not to fail, but the infinite according to addition is in a certain respect the same as that according to division. The infinite therefore does not subsist in any other way than this; it has its being in capacity and in division and diminution.
