1 Bodies are individual things (II., Def. i.), which (Lemma I.) are distinguished
2 one from the other in respect to motion and rest; thus (I. xxviii.) each must
3 necessarily be determined to motion or rest by another individual thing, namely
4 (II. vi.), by another body, which other body is also (Ax. i.) in motion or at
5 rest. And this body again can only have been set in motion or caused to rest by
6 being determined by a third body to motion or rest. This third body again by a
7 fourth, and so on to infinity. Q.E.D.
