of_o divine_a wisdom_n that_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v so_o harmonious_o contrive_v and_o set_v together_o as_o to_o conspire_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o natural_a motion_n and_o effect_n

or_o do_v any_o thing_n by_o any_o thing_n than_o no_o effect_n will_v be_v produce_v by_o a_o natural_a cause_n and_o consequent_o he_o will_v still_o be_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n which_o yet_o sacred_a scripture_n assure_v we_o he_o rest_v from_o and_o we_o may_v expect_v the_o formation_n of_o a_o child_n in_o a_o egg_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o womb_n or_o of_o a_o chicken_n out_o of_o a_o stone_n as_o a_o egg_n for_o infinite_a power_n make_v no_o difference_n in_o the_o thing_n it_o use_v but_o in_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o only_o make_v but_o so_o make_v as_o to_o produce_v their_o natural_a effect_n here_o be_v the_o sensible_a and_o illustrious_a evidence_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o the_o more_o complicate_v and_o vast_o numerous_a we_o allow_v the_o natural_a cause_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v the_o more_o due_o we_o conceive_v of_o that_o wisdom_n which_o thus_o dispose_v of_o they_o all_o to_o those_o their_o effect_n as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o
