SECOND PART. 



OF THE FIRST STATE OF NATURE, THE FOR- 

 MATION OF THE HEAVENLY BODIES, THE 

 CAUSES OF THEIR MOTIONS AND THEIR 

 SYSTEMATIC CONNECTION, BOTH IN THE 

 PLANETARY SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR AND 

 IN THE WHOLE OF CREATION. 



"See plastic nature working to this end, 

 The single atoms each to other tend, 

 Attract, attracted to, the next in place 

 Form'd and impell'd its neighbour to embrace. 

 See matter next, with various life endued, 

 Press to one center still, the gen'ral Good." 



POPE.
