Sir Ifaac Newton a man of Science but no Pliilofopher. — The fame the cafe of Euclid : 

 — This evident from his not diftinguifhing Magnitude, the fu'oj'cl ot Geometry, 

 from Number, the fubject of Arithmetic -, — alfo from his definition of a Point, in 

 which he has omitted the effential difference betwixt a Point and a Monade, laid 

 down by Ariftotle, that a Point has a place, which a Monade has not. — Though 

 ignorant of the Philofophy of the Sciences of Arithmetic and Geometry, he treats 

 the Sciences themfelves very accurately. The fame the cafe of Sir Ifaac Newton 

 with refpe£t to Aftronomy : — He has explained the laws of the Ccleftial Motions 

 moft accurately, but did not know the Philofophy of Motioti nor its caufe. — The 

 knowledge of this the height of Philofophy and even of Theology, God being the 

 original author of all the motions in the fyftem of the Unlverfe. — Sir Ifaac's igno- 

 rance of Philofophy led him to afcribe all Motion to the impulfe of Body. Page 27
