" The works of God are so worthy of their author, that besides the impresses of his wisdom aud 

 goodness that are left as it were upon their surfaces, there are a great many more curious and 

 excellent tokens and effects of Divine artifice in the hidden and innermost recesses of them ; and 

 these are not to be discovered by the perfunctory looks of oscitant and unskilful beholders ; but 

 require, as well as deserve, the most attentive and prying inspection of inquisitive and well- 

 instructed considerers. And sometimes in one creature there may be I know not how many ad- 

 mirable things, that escape a vulgar eye, and yet may be clearly discerned by that of a true 

 naturalist." — Boi/le.
