[Footnote 247: By _Energy_ we understand "the power of doing work," or
overcoming resistance, which in nature is something perfectly
intelligible and measurable, equivalent in all cases to the product of
the mass into the square of the velocity. By _Force_ we understand "that
which originates motion." All the forms of Energy have therefore their
origin in Force, and Force has its origin in the Will of the Deity.]

Government," p. 167.]
