Tertullian

“ Matter, therefore, cannot be infinite, which, since it is in space, is bounded by space; and being thus determinable by space, it is susceptible of an outline. You, however, make it infinite, when you say: “It is on this account infinite, because it is always existent.” ”

“ In bulk, therefore, is it infinite, not in time. And you contradict yourself [8] when you make Matter infinite in bulk, and at the same time ascribe place to it, including it within space and local outline. ”

“ And if any of your disciples should choose to meet us by declaring your meaning to be that Matter is infinite in time, not in its corporeal mass, [6] still what follows will show that (you mean) corporeal infinity to be an attribute of Matter, that it is in respect of bulk immense and uncircumscribed. ”
