WHICH _Power_ (in either Definition) can only be ascribed to that Great GOD, whose _infinite Existence_ I’ve been hinting upon: Who is the _Author_ of Nature and _Framer_ of the Universe; who by his own _Breath_ and _Word_, without any _material Help_, and at his own _Will_ and _Pleasure_, created all Things. In whom all Things _live_, _move_, and have their _Being_. By whom a vivacious _Faculty_ is infused through all Things; so as that (by and through HIM) all Things subsist of their own _peculiar Natures_ and _natural Qualities_; and by these _implanted Qualities_ increase, maintain, and defend themselves: And _that_ so, that in such an immense _University_, and such a vast _Variety_ of Things, nothing is indeed _idle_, _useless_, or _unprofitable_. Nothing is made _rashly_, _fortuitously_, or _in vain_; but every Thing appears appointed to some certain _Use_ and _Purpose_, and determined to some settled _Course_ and _Sphere_ of ACTION: Every _Being_ answering the END of its _Design_, and the _Design_ of its CREATION. AS _Man_ was set on the _Theatre_ of this World, to the _End_ that he might admire, delight, and confide in GOD his great _Creator_; so was the _Humane Body_ made for the _Divine Soul_, and the _respective Members_ for the _Body_: which all voluntarily concur in the Discharge of their _peculiar Functions_, for the Benefit and Use of the WHOLE. AND so was every _Stem_ endued with its own _Faculty_, and every _Creature_ with its own _Nature_; which made _Aristotle_[1] most pertinently say, “_That there’s nothing so minute in the Nature of Things, nothing so abject or despicable, but may reasonably afford Men something of Admiration._” NOW, I think, we may be soon brought to this _Admiration_, when we only _view_ those Things which are so evidently exposed to our Eyes: such as the _Elements_, the _Heavens_, the _Rising_ and _Setting_ of the _Sun_, _Moon_, and _Stars_, the _Diurnal_ and _Nocturnal Vicissitudes_, the _four Seasons_ of the Year, comprehending the two _Æquinoctials_ of Spring and Fall, and the two _Solstices_ of Summer and Winter; by whose _Decourse_ or Descent _Grass_ fades, and _Herbs_ decay; and again, by their Ascent or _Influence_, spring up and revive.
