The Way To Chastity Is Not To

To Explain All Nature Is Too Difficult A Task For Any One Man Or Even For Any One Age

Are Not Gross Bodies And Light Convertible Into One Another; And May Not Bodies Receive Much Of Their Activity From The Particles Of Light Which Enter Into Their Composition? The Changing Of Bodies Into Light, And Light Into Bodies, Is Very Conformable To The Course Of Nature, Which Seems Delighted With Transmutations.

No Being Exists Or Can Exist Which Is Not Related To Space In Some Way. God Is Everywhere, Created Minds Are Somewhere, And Body Is In The Space That It Occupies; And Whatever Is Neither Everywhere Nor Anywhere Does Not Exist. And Hence It Follows That Space Is An Effect Arising From The First Existence Of Being, Because When Any Being Is Postulated, Space Is Postulated.

All Material Things Seem To Have Been Composed Of The Hard And Solid Particles ... Variously Associated With The First Creation By The Counsel Of An Intelligent Agent. For It Became Him Who Created Them To Set Them In Order: And If He Did So, It Is Unphilosophical To Seek For Any Other Origin Of The World, Or To Pretend That It Might Arise Out Of A Chaos By The Mere Laws Of Nature.

In Scripture We Are Told Of Some Trusting In God And Others Trusting In Idols, And That God Is Our Refuge, Our Strength, Our Defense. In This Sense God Is The Rock Of His People, And False Gods Are Called The Rock Of Those That Trust In Them. In The Same Sense The Gods Of The King Who Shall Do According To His Will Are Called Mahuzzims, Munitions, Fortresses, Protectors, Guardians, Or Defenders.
