A77179	A disquisition about the final causes of natural things wherein it is inquir'd, whether, and (if at all) with what cautions, a naturalist should admit them? By T.H. R.B. Fellow of the Royal Society. To which are subjoyn'd, by way of appendix some uncommon observations about vitiated sight. By the same author.	Boyle, Robert, 1627-1691.	1688 (1688)	Wing B3945A; ESTC R231094	85,440	301
