genus as regards some of its objects； in species as regards others。
Hence too； we may conclude that one can perceive ＇numerically
different objects＇ coinstantaneously with a faculty which is
numerically one and the same； but not the same in its relationship
＇sc。 according as the objects to which it is directed are not the
same＇。
That every sensible object is a magnitude； and that nothing which it
is possible to perceive is indivisible； may be thus shown。 The
distance whence an object could not be seen is indeterminate； but that
whence it is visible is determinate。 We may say the same of the
objects of Smelling and Hearing； and of all sensibles not discerned by
actual contact。 Now； there is； in the interval of distance； some
extreme place； the last from which the object is invisible； and the
first from which it is visible。 This place； beyond which if the object
be one cannot perceive it； while if the object be on the hither side
one must perceive it； is； I presume； itself necessarily indivisible。
Therefore； if any sensible object be indivisible； such object； if
set in the said extreme place whence imperceptibility ends and
perceptibility begins； will have to be both visible and invisible
their objects； whether regarded in general or at the same time； but
this is impossible。
This concludes our survey of the characteristics of the organs of
Sense…perception and their objects； whether regarded in general or
in relation to each organ。 Of the remaining subjects； we must first
consider that of memory and remembering。
