    • 1886, Augustus Hopkins Strong, Systematic Theology: A Compendium and Commonplace-book Designed for the Use of Theological Students, page 437 (Press of E.R. Andrews):
      Bowne, Metaphysics, 106 —“ In the system, the complete ground of an event never lies in any one thing, but only in a complex of things. If a single thing were the sufficient ground of an effect, the effect would coëxist with the thing, and all effects would be instantaneously given. Hence all events in the system must be viewed as the result of the interaction of two or more things.”
