Reduce the reasoning in the following quotation to strict syllogistic form. b. Name the mode of each syllogism. c. If you discover any fallacy, indicate it. "I suppose then that God is not extended. If so, say there can be no external world. For if there be an external world, and if it be a creature, we must suppose that God is everywhere present in and with it, for He is supposed to preserve and do every thing that is done in it. To deny this is to shut Him out of the universe, even altogether to deny His being. On the contrary, to affirm that He is thus present with every part and particle of it is to make Him co-extended, which is contrary to the supposition."—ARTHUR COLLIER, Clavis Universalis, chap. viii. 2.
