upon their inductive results, upon the experiments and 

 mathematical calculation alone, they have adopted a force in 

 matter without any knowledge of its cause and being; the force 

 of &quot;gravitation&quot; which is positively against the motion by its 

 primitive cause as a law of nature, which is utterly false. The 

 same is with the law of &quot;inertia&quot;. Instead that they should 

 understand that every body must be in an inherent double 

 motion by itself so long as it is not effected by the influence of 

 the velocity of motion in a great body, and as soon as the effect 

 ceases the body receives its own double motion, they have 

 adopted the first law in motion which Newton has established, 

 that &quot;every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform 

 motion in a straight line except as it is compelled by force to 

 change that state,&quot; as a law of nature, while nature itself 

 knows not any rest in itself either absolutely or relatively. 



The laws which our scientists have discovered may hold 

 ; .good only in as far as practical mechanism is concerned as a 

 separate and distinct means by which man can make use of the 

 particularized objects and forces he knows. But they are not 

 laws whose activity controls nature in general or even the 

 universal mechanism as an integral part of the wisdom of 

 universal existence. Relative motion or rest are presented to 

 the senses, by the physical mechanism of the human body, to 

 the observation on the physical mechanism of the particularized 

 objects as they are presented to the senses. But nature itself 

 does not know of any rest either absolutely or relatively and 

 not of any relative motion, only of absolute motion under the action 

 of the one general force of Centrality. 



FOURTH LAW. 



Three kinds of motion are in matter: atomic motion, mole 

 cular motion and mechanic, or mass motion. The atomic mo 

 tion is the first action of nature in matter. The Absolute Essence 

 in its manifestation, by the general force of centrality, forms the 

 .atoms perfectly equal in quantity, in quality and in their distance 

 from each other in the universal space at their first formation.
