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

the_o consideration_n of_o the_o naturalist_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v it_o for_o aught_o i_o have_v observe_v upon_o one_o of_o these_o two_o account_n either_o that_o with_o epicurus_n they_o think_v the_o world_n be_v the_o production_n of_o atom_n and_o chance_n without_o any_o intervention_n of_o a_o deity_n and_o that_o consequent_o it_o be_v improper_a and_o in_o vain_a to_o seek_v for_o final_a cause_n in_o the_o effect_n of_o chance_n or_o that_o they_o judge_v with_o des_n cartes_n that_o god_n be_v a_o omniscient_a agent_n it_o be_v rash_a and_o presumptuous_a for_o man_n to_o think_v that_o they_o know_v or_o can_v investigate_v what_o end_v he_o propose_v to_o himself_o in_o his_o act_n about_o his_o creature_n the_o ground_n on_o which_o the_o epicurean_o have_v reject_v final_a cause_n have_v be_v disallow_v by_o the_o philosopher_n of_o almost_o all_o other_o sect_n and_o some_o have_v write_v sufficient_a confutation_n of_o it_o which_o therefore_o i_o shall_v here_o forbear_v to_o insist_v on_o though_o something_n i_o shall_v upon_o occasion_n observe_v that_o may_v help_v if_o not_o suffice_v to_o discredit_v so_o unreasonable_a a_o opinion_n but_o the_o cartesian_a argument_n have_v be_v so_o prevalent_a among_o many_o learned_a and_o ingenious_a man_n that_o it_o will_v be_v worth_a while_n if_o it_o be_v but_o to_o excite_v better_a pen_n to_o spend_v some_o time_n in_o the_o consideration_n of_o it_o perhaps_o one_o thing_n that_o alienate_v that_o excellent_a philosopher_n from_o allow_v the_o consideration_n of_o final_a cause_n in_o physics_n be_v that_o the_o school-philosopher_n and_o many_o other_o learned_a man_n be_v wont_a to_o propose_v it_o too_o unwary_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n that_o

for_o the_o clear_n of_o which_o and_o indeed_o of_o the_o disquisition_n of_o final_a cause_n i_o shall_v beg_v leave_n to_o premise_v a_o distinction_n which_o though_o novel_a i_o shall_v venture_v to_o employ_v because_o it_o comprise_v and_o distinguish_v some_o thing_n which_o i_o think_v ought_v neither_o to_o be_v overlook_v nor_o confound_v i_o conceive_v then_o that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o end_n which_o nature_n or_o rather_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n be_v say_v to_o have_v in_o thing_n corporeal_a one_o of_o these_o four_o thing_n may_v be_v signify_v or_o if_o you_o
