{{Style P-No indent|difficulty arising for them out of such undeniable variety and heterogeneity of matter in the constitution of nebulæ, did admit, with the ancients, that the origin of all the visible and invisible heavenly bodies must be sought for in one primordial homogeneous world-stuff, in a kind of pre-''protyle'', * — it is evident that this would not put an end to their perplexities. Unless they admit also that our actual visible Universe is merely the ''Sthula-Sharira'', the gross body, of the sevenfold Kosmos, they will have to face another problem ; especially if they risk maintaining that its now visible bodies are the result of the condensation of that one and single primordial matter. For mere observation shows them that the actions which produced the actual Universe are far more complex than could ever be embraced in that theory.}} | {{Style P-No indent|difficulty arising for them out of such undeniable variety and heterogeneity of matter in the constitution of nebulæ, did admit, with the ancients, that the origin of all the visible and invisible heavenly bodies must be sought for in one primordial homogeneous world-stuff, in a kind of {{Style S-Small capitals|pre}}-''protyle'', * — it is evident that this would not put an end to their perplexities.
