I Do Not Think That This [the Universe] Can Be Explained Only By Natural Causes, And Are Forced To Impute To The Wisdom And Ingenuity Of An Intelligent.

We Account The Scriptures Of God To Be The Most Sublime Philosophy.

Blind Metaphysical Necessity, Which Is Certainly The Same Always And Every Where, Could Produce No Variety Of Things. All That Diversity Of Natural Things Which We Find Suited To Different Times And Places Could Arise From Nothing But The Ideas And Will Of A Being, Necessarily Existing.

For Those Colours ... Are Unchangeable, And Whenever All Those Rays With Those Their Colours Are Mix'd Again, They Reproduce The Same White Light As Before.
