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

cause_n which_o i_o hope_v will_v not_o prove_v altogether_o useless_a be_v premise_v i_o shall_v begin_v my_o intend_a discourse_n by_o own_v a_o dissent_n from_o both_o the_o opposite_a opinion_n they_o that_o with_o the_o vulgar_a of_o learned_a man_n will_v take_v no_o notice_n of_o final_a cause_n but_o those_o we_o have_v style_v human_a one_o and_o they_o that_o as_o they_o think_v with_o descartes_n reject_v final_a cause_n altogether_o since_o though_o i_o judge_v it_o erroneous_a to_o say_v in_o the_o strict_a sense_n that_o every_o thing_n in_o the_o visible_a world_n be_v make_v for_o the_o use_v of_o man_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v more_o erroneous_a to_o deny_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v make_v for_o end_n investigable_a by_o man._n it_o be_v a_o know_a principle_n of_o the_o cartesian_a philosophy_n that_o there_o be_v always_o just_a the_o same_o quantity_n of_o motion_n in_o the_o world_n at_o one_o time_n that_o there_o be_v at_o another_o of_o which_o assertion_n this_o reason_n be_v give_v that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o god_n who_o be_v immutable_a shall_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o thing_n when_o he_o first_o put_v matter_n into_o motion_n have_v give_v it_o such_o a_o quantity_n of_o motion_n as_o will_v need_v to_o be_v afterward_o augument_v or_o lessen_v but_o i_o see_v not_o how_o by_o this_o negative_a way_n of_o argue_v those_o that_o employ_v it_o do_v not_o implicit_o at_o least_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v have_v propose_v to_o himself_o in_o natural_a thing_n for_o without_o a_o supposition_n that_o they_o know_v what_o god_n design_v in_o set_v matter_n a-moving_a it_o be_v hard_a for_o they_o to_o show_v that_o his_o design_n can_v not_o be_v such_o as_o may_v be_v best_o accomplish_v by_o sometime_o add_v to_o and_o sometime_o take_v from_o the_o quantity_n of_o motion_n he_o communicate_v to_o matter_n at_o first_o and_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v worth_a consider_v whether_o by_o this_o doctrine_n of_o they_o the_o cartesian_o do_v not_o more_o take_v upon_o they_o than_o other_o philosopher_n to_o judge_v of_o god_n design_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v know_v to_o be_v very_o wise_a and_o have_v various_a way_n of_o compass_v his_o several_a end_n he_o that_o see_v some_o of_o those_o way_n have_v a_o direct_a tendency_n to_o some_o rational_a end_n shall_v conclude_v that_o end_v to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o be_v intend_v do_v thereby_o less_o presume_v and_o express_v more_o respect_n to_o that_o wise_a man_n than_o he_o that_o shall_v conclude_v that_o those_o can_v be_v his_o end_n and_o that_o he_o can_v have_v no_o other_o design_n knowable_a by_o we_o except_o a_o certain_a general_n one_o name_v by_o the_o assertor_n and_o indeed_o it_o seem_v more_o easy_a to_o know_v that_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a thing_n for_o which_o a_o engine_n be_v proper_a may_v be_v among_o other_o intend_v by_o the_o artificer_n though_o never_o so_o skilful_a than_o to_o know_v negative_o that_o he_o can_v have_v no_o other_o than_o such_o or_o such_o a_o end._n and_o how_o will_v a_o cartesian_a assure_v i_o that_o among_o the_o many_o end_n that_o he_o grant_v that_o god_n may_v have_v propose_v to_o himself_o in_o the_o production_n of_o his_o mundane_a creature_n one_o may_v not_o be_v that_o we_o who_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o make_v intelligent_a being_n and_o capable_a of_o admire_v and_o praise_v he_o shall_v find_v just_a cause_n to_o do_v so_o for_o the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n he_o have_v display_v in_o the_o world_n which_o attribute_n we_o can_v not_o well_o discern_v or_o celebrate_v unless_o we_o know_v as_o well_o that_o the_o creature_n be_v make_v for_o such_o use_v as_o that_o they_o be_v exceed_o well_o fit_v for_o they_o i_o know_v god_n immutability_n be_v allege_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o quantity_n of_o motion_n be_v never_o vary_v but_o to_o i_o it_o be_v not_o evident_a why_o god_n have_a particular_a end_n though_o some_o of_o they_o seem_v to_o require_v a_o change_n in_o his_o way_n of_o act_v in_o natural_a thing_n must_v be_v more_o inconsistent_a with_o his_o immutability_n than_o his_o cause_v many_o thing_n to_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v which_o though_o abaeterno_fw-la he_o decree_v to_o do_v be_v yet_o not_o actual_o do_v unless_o in_o process_n of_o time._n and_o particular_o it_o seem_v not_o clear_a why_o god_n may_v not_o as_o well_o be_v immutable_a though_o he_o shall_v sometime_o vary_v the_o quantity_n of_o motion_n that_o he_o have_v put_v into_o the_o world_n as_o he_o be_v though_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o most_o of_o the_o cartesian_o themselves_o he_o do_v daily_o create_v multitude_n of_o rational_a soul_n to_o unite_v they_o to_o human_a body_n especial_o consider_v that_o these_o new_o create_v substance_n be_v according_a to_o des-cartes_n endow_v with_o a_o power_n to_o determine_v and_o regulate_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o conarion_n which_o be_v thing_n clear_o corporeal_a i_o say_v not_o this_o as_o if_o i_o absolute_o reject_v the_o cartesian_a doctrine_n about_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o same_o quantity_n of_o motion_n in_o the_o whole_a mass_n of_o matter_n for_o whither_o or_o no_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o unuseful_a nor_o improbable_a hypothesis_n and_o i_o have_v not_o so_o much_o argue_v against_o it_o as_o upon_o the_o ground_n on_o which_o they_o argue_v for_o it_o wherefore_o to_o come_v now_o to_o the_o thing_n itself_o whereas_o monsieur_n des-cartes_n object_n that_o it_o be_v a_o presumption_n for_o man_n to_o pretend_v to_o be_v able_a to_o investigate_v the_o end_n that_o the_o omniscient_a god_n propose_v to_o himself_o in_o the_o make_n of_o his_o creature_n i_o consider_v by_o way_n of_o answer_n that_o there_o be_v two_o very_a differ_a way_n wherein_o a_o man_n may_v pretend_v to_o know_v the_o end_n of_o god_n in_o his_o visible_a work_n for_o he_o may_v either_o pretend_v to_o know_v only_o some_o of_o god_n end_n in_o some_o of_o his_o work_n or_o he_o may_v pretend_v to_o know_v all_o his_o ends._n he_o that_o arrogate_v to_o himself_o to_o discover_v god_n end_n in_o this_o latter_a sense_n will_v scarce_o be_v excuse_v from_o a_o high_a presumption_n and_o no_o less_o a_o folly_n from_o the_o reason_n late_o intimate_v in_o the_o cartesian_a objection_n but_o to_o pretend_v to_o know_v god_n end_n in_o the_o former_a sense_n be_v not_o a_o presumption_n but_o rather_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o they_o be_v a_o duty_n for_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o nature_n so_o curious_o contrive_v and_o so_o exquisite_o fit_v for_o certain_a operation_n and_o uses_n that_o it_o seem_v little_o less_o than_o blindness_n in_o he_o that_o acknowledge_v with_o the_o cartesian_o a_o most_o wise_a author_n of_o thing_n not_o to_o conclude_v that_o though_o they_o may_v have_v be_v design_v for_o other_o and_o perhaps_o high_a use_v yet_o they_o be_v design_v for_o this_o use_n as_o he_o that_o see_v the_o admirable_a fabric_n of_o the_o coat_n humour_n and_o muscle_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o how_o excellent_o all_o the_o part_n be_v adapt_v to_o the_o make_v up_o of_o a_o organ_n of_o vision_n can_v scarce_o forbear_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n intend_v it_o shall_v serve_v the_o animal_n to_o which_o it_o belong_v to_o see_v with_o the_o epicurean_o indeed_o that_o believe_v the_o world_n to_o have_v be_v produce_v but_o by_o the_o casual_a concourse_n of_o atom_n without_o the_o intervention_n of_o any_o intelligent_a be_v may_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o excuse_n whereof_o other_o philosopher_n be_v destitute_a that_o acknowledge_v a_o deity_n if_o not_o also_o a_o providence_n for_o the_o very_a supposition_n for_o instance_n that_o a_o man_n eye_n be_v make_v by_o chance_n argue_v that_o they_o need_v have_v no_o relation_n to_o a_o design_v agent_n and_o the_o use_n that_o a_o man_n make_v of_o they_o may_v be_v either_o casual_a too_o or_o at_o least_o may_v be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o knowledge_n not_o of_o nature_n but_o when_o upon_o the_o anatomical_a dissection_n and_o the_o optical_a consideration_n of_o a_o human_a eye_n we_o see_v it_o be_v as_o exquisite_o fit_v to_o be_v a_o organ_n of_o sight_n as_o the_o
