" Let us take a Survey of the principal Fabrick, viz. the Terraqueous 

 Globe itself; a most stupendous vrork in every particular of it, v^^hich 

 doth no less aggrandize its Maker than every curious complete vrork doth 

 its Workman. Let us cast our eyes here and there, let us ransack all the 

 Globe, let us v^ith the greatest accuracy inspect every part thereof, search 

 out the inmost secrets of any of the creatures, let us examine them with 

 all our gauges, measure them with our nicest rules, pry into them with 

 our microscopes and most exquisite instruments, still we find them to 

 bear testimony to their infinite Workman." 



** Could the body of the whole Earth - - be submitted to the Exami- 

 nation of our Senses, were it not too big and disproportioned for our 

 Enquiries, too unwieldly for the Management of the Eye and Hand, there 

 is no question but it would appear to us as curious and well- contrived 

 a frame as that of an human body. We should see the same Concate- 

 nation and Subserviency, the same Necessity and Usefulness, the same 

 Beauty and Harmony in all and eveiy of its Parts, as what we discover 

 in the Body of every single Animal." spectator, no. 543.
