“ Let us take a Suvvey of the principal Fabrick, viz. the Terraqueous 
Globe itself; a most stupendous work in every particular of it, which 
doth no less aggrandize its Maker than every curious complete work doth 
its Workman. Let us cast our eyes here and there, let ns ransack all the 
Globe, let us with 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 unwieldy 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 
Heauty and Harmony in all and every of its Parts, as what we discover 
in the Body of every single Animal.” spectator, no. 543.
