" Do not depreciate any pursuit which leads men to contemplate the works of their 

 Creator." Southey. 



" Nothing can be so minute as to be unworthy of the investigation of man, which was 

 not unworthy of being created by God." Boyle. 



" Think not that any thing he hath vouchsafed to create, is unworthy thy cognizance, to 

 be slighted by thee. It is pride and arrogance, or ignorance and folly in thee so to think. 



"There is greater depth of art and skill in the structure of the meanest insect, thanthou 

 art able for to fathom or comprehend. 



"The wisdom, art, and power of Almighty God shine forth as visibly in the structure 

 of the body of the minutest insect, as in that of a horse or elephant: therefore God is said 

 to be inaximus in minimus." Ray. 



" He who does not make himself acquainted with God from the consideration of nature, 

 will scarcely acquire knowledge of him from any other source; for if we have no faith in 

 the things which are seen, how should we believe those things which are not seen ?" 



Eefiections on the Study of Nature.
