Forms of particular Things,and mnfenfica/ Syjiems 

 of the Whole; and they fuppos'd alfo, that the 

 Regularity of Things here in this World would 

 not always continue fuch neither, but that fome 

 Time or other, Confufion and Diforder will break 

 in again. Moreover, that befides this World 

 of ours, there are at this very Inftant innume- 

 rable other Worlds irregular, and that there is 

 but one of a thoufand, or Ten Thoufand among 

 the infinite Worlds that have fuch Regularity in 

 them J the Reafon of all which is, becaufe it 

 was generally taken for granted, and look'd 

 upon as a common Notion,that ruv aVo tv^^m ^cl\

 preffeth it ; none of thofe Things which are from 

 Fortune, or Chance, come to pafs always alike. 

 But our mechanick 'Theijls will have their Atoms 

 never fo much as once to have fumbled in thefe 

 their Motions, nor to have produc'd any inept

 thefe Atomrck Theijh utterly evacuate that grand 

 Argument for a God taken from the Phc^nome- 

 noii of the Artificial Frame of Things, which hath 

 been fo much infilled upon in all Ages, and 

 which commonly makes the flrongeft Impreflion 

 of any other upon the Minds of Men, ^c, the 

 Atheijisy in the mean Time, laughing in their 

 Sleeves^ and not a little triumphing to fee the
