It May Be Well To Wait A

I Had The Intention Of Becoming A Theologian...but Now I See How God Is, By My Endeavors, Also Glorified In Astronomy, For 'the Heavens Declare The Glory Of God.'

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.

If There Is Anything That Can Bind The Heavenly Mind Of Man To This Dreary Exile Of Our Earthly Home And Can Reconcile Us With Our Fate So That One Can Enjoy Living,-then It Is Verily The Enjoyment Of The Mathematical Sciences And Astronomy.

Where There Is Matter, There Is Geometry.
