Just As The Eye Was Made To

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.

The Sphere Of The Attractive Virtue Which Is In The Moon Extends As Far As The Earth, And Entices Up The Waters; But As The Moon Flies Rapidly Across The Zenith, And The Waters Cannot Follow So Quickly, A Flow Of The Ocean Is Occasioned In The Torrid Zone Towards The Westward.

Nature Uses As Little As Possible Of Anything.

If God Himself Has Waited Six Thousand Years For Someone To Contemplate His Works, My Book Can Wait For A Hundred.
