This kind of Aristotelian analysis of causation was cutting edge stuff 2,500 years ago.
There is no analysis given of what it means to be a cause in this first premise. You can adopt your favorite theory of causation or take causation to be a conceptual primitive. All it requires is that the universe did not pop into being uncaused out of absolutely nothing.
Thank you.
