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

seem_v injurious_a to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o unwarrantable_a in_o itself_o to_o banish_v from_o natural_a philosophy_n the_o consideration_n of_o final_a cause_n from_o which_o chief_o if_o not_o

the_o extent_n symmetry_n and_o beauty_n of_o the_o world_n believe_v it_o to_o have_v be_v eternal_a and_o though_o they_o whatever_o their_o master_n think_v do_v not_o believe_v it_o to_o have_v
