Nature Loves Simplicity And Unity.

My Aim Is To Say That The Machinery Of The Heavens Is Not Like A Divine Animal But Like A Clock (and Anyone Who Believes A Clock Has A Soul Gives The Work The Honour Due To Its Maker) And That In It Almost All The Variety Of Motions Is From One Very Simple Magnetic Force Acting On Bodies, As In The Clock All Motions Are From A Very Simple Weight.

Now, As God The Maker Play'd He Taught The Game To Nature Whom He Created In His Image; Taught Her The Selfsame Game Which He Played To Her.

[god] Is The Kind Creator Who Brought Forth Nature Out Of Nothing.

...those Laws Are Within The Grasp Of The Human Mind. God Wanted Us To Recognize Them By Creating Us After His Own Image So That We Could Share In His Own Thoughts... And If Piety Allow Us To Say So, Our Understanding Is In This Respect Of The Same Kind As The Divine, At Least As Far As We Are Able To Grasp Something Of It In Our Mortal Life.

In Theology We Must Consider The Predominance Of Authority; In Philosophy The Predominance Of Reason.
