The deduction of the possibility of all other things from this primal being cannot, strictly speaking, be considered as a limitation, or as a kind of division of its reality; for this would be regarding the primal being as a mere aggregate--which has been shown to be impossible, although it was so represented in our first rough sketch. By the former the sum cannot be given exactly, by the latter only approximately; and therefore we decide that the impossibility of a solution of the question is evident.

Such, for example, is the possibility of the division of a simple substance into several substances; and conversely, of the coalition of several into one simple substance.
