nothing. A state of absolute nothing is a state of absolute contradiction. Absolute nothing is the aggregate of all the absurd contradictions in the world, a state wherein there is neither body nor sprit nor space, neither empty space nor full space, neither little nor great, narrow nor broad, neither infinitely great space nor finite space nor a mathematical point, neither up nor down, neither north nor south, no such thing as here or there, this way or that way or only one way. When we go about to form an idea of perfect nothing we must shut oat all these things. We must shut out. of our minds both space that has somethiug in it and 4tpace that has nothing in it We must not allow ourselves to think of the least bit of space, nor must we suffer our thoughts to take sanctuary in a mathematical point When we go to expel body out of our thoughts we must cease not to leave empty space in the room of it, and when we go to expel emptiness from our thoughts we must not think to squeeze it out by anything else, hard and solid, but we must think of the same thing as the sleeping rocks dream of. Not till then shall we get a complete idea of nothing.—Jonathan Edwards.
