We remember to have had frequent instances of the existence of one species of objects; and also remember, that the individuals of another species of objects have always attended them, and have existed in a regular order of contiguity and succession with regard to them.

 The transition from the non-being of a state into the existence of it, supposing that this state contains no quality which previously existed in the phenomenon, is a fact of itself demanding inquiry. 
  • We must now shew, that as the union betwixt motives and actions has the same constancy, as that in any natural operations, so its influence on the understanding is also the same, in determining us to infer the existence of one from that of another.
 Consequently the coexistence of substances in space cannot be cognized in experience otherwise than under the precondition of their reciprocal action. For in this case we are compelled to seek for some other existence upon which the former depends. Of all relations the most universal is that of identity, being common to every being whose existence has any duration. Consequently the coexistence of substances in space cannot be cognized in experience otherwise than under the precondition of their reciprocal action.
