Berkeley thinks that ' ' from the generated Velocity not being the same in any two different Points of the described S...pace it will not follow that Velocity can exist in a Point of Space. But in this he is mistaken. For the continual Action of a Moving Force necessarily preserves a continual Velocity ; and if the generated Velocity be not the same in any two different Points of the described Space, a Velocity must of Consequence exist in every Point of that Space " (p. 38). This account of velocity "is agreeable " to Sir Isaac Newton's Notion of Velocity ; who constantly excludes described Space from his Idea of that Term."
