. . . Newton Was An Unquestioning Believer In An All-wise Creator Of The Universe, And In His Own Inability - Like The Boy On The Seashore - To Fathom The Entire Ocean In All Its Depths. He Therefore Believed That There Were Not Only Many Things In Heaven Beyond His Philosophy, But Plenty On Earth As Well, And He Made It His Business To Understand For Himself What The Majority Of Intelligent Men Of His Time Accepted Without Dispute (to Them It Was As Natural As Common Sense) - The Traditional Account Of The Creation.

As Attraction Is Stronger In Small Magnets Than In Great Ones In Proportion To Their Bulk, And Gravity Is Greater In The Surfaces Of Small Planets Than In Those Of Great Ones In Proportion To Their Bulk, And Small Bodies Are Agitated Much More By Electric Attraction Than Great Ones; So The Smallness Of The Rays Of Light May Contribute Very Much To The Power Of The Agent By Which They Are Refracted.

Do Not The Rays Which Differ In Refrangibility Differ Also In Flexibity; And Are They Not By Their Different Inflexions Separated From One Another, So As After Separation To Make The Colours In The Three Fringes Above Described? And After What Manner Are They Inflected To Make Those Fringes?
