Σελίδα 100 - I humbly conceive therefore, that if the human understanding can in any case flatter itself with obtaining, .in the natural world, a glimpse of the immediate agency of the Deity, it is in the contemplation of this vital principle, which seems independent of material organization, and an impulse of his own divine energy.
