But what this central Body really is, I shall not here presume to say, yet I can't help observing it must of Necessity, if the Creation is real and not merely Ideal, be either a Globe of Fire superior to the Sun, or otherwise a vast terraqueous or terrestrial Sphere, surrounded with an Æther like our Earth, but more refined, transparent and serene. Which of these is most probable, I shall leave undetermined, and must acknowledge at the same time, my Notions here are so imperfect, I hardly dare conjecture. 'Tis true, I have ventur'd to think it may be one of these, and since so glorious a Situation can hardly be supposed without its proper Inhabitants, 'tis most natural to conclude it may be the latter. In the first Case, besides our having no Idea of Beings existing in Fire, it would not, notwithstanding its Distance, be so easy to account for its being invisible; and since the Lustre of the Stars are all innate, they could receive no Benefit from it, and consequently such a Nature as a solar Composition, must in this Place be render'd useless; but in the latter Supposition of its being a dark Body, we have no Difficulty attending us, having several Instances of like Bodies, moving round an opaque one. Now when we consider, that all those radient Globes, which adorn the Skies, those bright ætherial Sparks of elemental Fire, thick strewed like Seeds of Light all round our Hemisphere, are each to us the Embrio of a glorious Sun; how awful and stupendious must that Region be, where all their Beams unite and make one inconceivable eternal Day? Though the Deity, says a learned Writer "be essentially present thro' all the Immensity of Space, there is one Part of it in which he discovers himself in a most transcendent and visible Glory. This is that Place which is mark'd out in Scripture, under the different Appellations of Paradice; _the third Heaven_; _the Throne of_ God, _and the Habitation of his Glory_." This continues the same Author, is "that Presence of God, which some of the Divines call his glorious, and others his majestick Presence." It is here, and here only, as in the Center of his infinite Creations, where he resides in a sensible Magnificence, and in the midst of those Splendors, which can Effect the Imagination of his Creatures; and though the most sacred and supreme Divinity be allowed as essentially present in all other Places as well as in this, as being a Being whose Center is every where, and Circumference no where; yet it is here only, or in such Sensorium of his Unity, where he manifests his corporeal Agency, as in the Foci of his infinite Empire over all created Beings. It is to this majestick Presence of God, we may apply those beautiful Expressions of Scripture, "_Behold even to the Moon and it shineth not; yea the Stars are not pure in his Sight_."
