  All 
  depends 
  on 
  keeping 
  the 
  eye 
  steadily 
  fixed 
  on 
  the 
  facts 
  

   of 
  nature 
  and 
  so 
  receiving 
  their 
  images 
  simply 
  as 
  they 
  are. 
  

   For 
  God 
  forbid 
  that 
  we 
  should 
  give 
  out 
  a 
  dream 
  of 
  our 
  imagi- 
  

   nation 
  for 
  a 
  pattern 
  of 
  the 
  world 
  : 
  rather 
  may 
  He 
  graciously 
  

   grant 
  us 
  to 
  write 
  an 
  apocalypse 
  or 
  true 
  vision 
  of 
  the 
  foot- 
  

   steps 
  of 
  the 
  Creator 
  imprinted 
  on 
  His 
  creatures."

  " 
  This 
  I 
  dare 
  affirm 
  in 
  knowledge 
  of 
  Nature, 
  that 
  a 
  little 
  

   natural 
  philosophy, 
  and 
  the 
  first 
  entrance 
  into 
  it, 
  doth 
  dispose 
  

   the 
  opinion 
  to 
  atheism, 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  side, 
  much 
  natural 
  

   philosophy 
  and 
  wading 
  deep 
  into 
  it, 
  will 
  bring 
  about 
  men's 
  

  

  minds 
  to 
  religion."
