" It is one material use of the Study of Nature, to illustrate this greatest of 

 all truths : That there must be a God : that he must be Almighty, 

 Omniscient, and Infinite in Goodness; and that although he dwells in a 

 light, inaccessible to any mortal eye, yet our faculties see and distinguish 

 him clearly in his works." PONTOPPIDAN, Pref. p. .1. 



" The works of the Lord are great, and sought out of all them that have 

 pleasure therein." PSALMIST.
