224Manichæus Promises the Knowledge of Undoubted Things, and Then Demands Faith in Doubtful Things. 226The Doctrine of Manichæus Not Only Uncertain, But False.  His Absurd Fancy of a Land and Race of Darkness Bordering on the Holy Region and the Substance of God.  The Error, First of All, of Giving to the Nature of God Limits and Borders, as If God Were a Material Substance, Having Extension in Space. 227The Soul, Though Mutable, Has No Material Form.  It is All Present in Every Part of the Body. 228The Memory Contains the Ideas of Places of the Greatest Size. 229The Understanding Judges of the Truth of Things, and of Its Own Action. 230If the Mind Has No Material Extension, Much Less Has God. 231Refutation of the Absurd Idea of Two Territories. 232This Region of Light Must Be Material If It is Joined to the Region of Darkness.  The Shape of the Region of Darkness Joined to the Region of Light. 233The Form of the Region of Light the Worse of the Two. 234The Anthropomorphites Not So Bad as the Manichæans. 236Of the Number of Natures in the Manichæan Fiction. 237Omnipotence Creates Good Things Differing in Degree.  In Every Description Whatsoever of the Junction of the Two Regions There is Either Impropriety or Absurdity. 238The Manichæans are Reduced to the Choice of a Tortuous, or Curved, or Straight Line of Junction.  The Third Kind of Line Would Give Symmetry and Beauty Suitable to Both Regions. 239The Beauty of the Straight Line Might Be Taken from the Region of Darkness Without Taking Anything from Its Substance.  So Evil Neither Takes from Nor Adds to the Substance of the Soul.  The Straightness of Its Side Would Be So Far a Good Bestowed on the Region of Darkness by God the Creator. 241Manichæus Places Five Natures in the Region of Darkness. 242The Refutation of This Absurdity. 243The Number of Good Things in Those Natures Which Manichæus Places in the Region of Darkness. 245The Same Subject Continued. 246Manichæus Got the Arrangement of His Fanciful Notions from Visible Objects. 248Every Nature, as Nature, is Good. viii
