No Sciences Are Better Attested Than The

Hypotheses Non Fingo. I Frame No Hypotheses.

Errors Are Not In The Art But In The Artificers.

I Do Not Feign Hypotheses.

It Seems Probable To Me That God, In The Beginning, Formed Matter In Solid, Massy, Hard, Impenetrable, Moveable Particles, Of Such Sizes And Figures, And With Such Other Properties, And In Such Proportions To Space, As Most Conduced To The End For Which He Formed Them; And That These Primitive Particles, Being Solids, Are Incomparably Harder Than Any Porous Bodies Compounded Of Them, Even So Very Hard As Never To Wear Or Break In Pieces; No Ordinary Power Being Able To Divide What God Had Made One In The First Creation.

God Who Gave Animals Self Motion Beyond Our Understanding Is Without Doubt Able To Implant Other Principles Of Motion In Bodies [which] We May Understand As Little. Some Would Readily Grant This May Be A Spiritual One; Yet A Mechanical One Might Be Showne, Did Not I Think It Better To Pass It By.
