Therefore we may now more nearly behold the beauties of Nature, and entertain our ſelves with the delightful contemplation; and, which is the beſt and moſt valuable fruit of philoſophy, be thence incited the more profoundly to reverence and adore the great Maker and Lord of all. He muſt be blind who from the moſt wiſe and excellent contrivances of things cannot ſee the infinite Wiſdom and Goodneſs of their Almighty Creator, and he muſt be mad and ſenſeleſs who refuſes to acknowledge them.
