Σελίδα 17 - To God the Father, God the Word, God the Spirit we pour forth most humble and hearty supplications that He, remembering the calamities of mankind, and the pilgrimage of this our life, in which we wear out days few and evil, would please to open to us new refreshments out of the fountain of His goodness for the alleviating of our miseries.
Σελίδα 8 - There is no theory of a God,* of an author of Nature, of an origin of the universe, which is not utterly repugnant to my faculties ; which is not (to my feelings) so irreverent as to make me blush ; so misleading as to make me mourn.
Σελίδα 84 - The inorganic has one final comprehensive law, GRAVITATION. The organic, the other great department of mundane things, rests in like manner on one law, and that is — DEVELOPMENT.
Σελίδα 17 - ... of incredulity, or intellectual night, may arise in our minds towards divine mysteries. But rather, that by our mind thoroughly cleansed and purged from fancy and vanities, and yet subject and perfectly given up to the divine oracles, there may be given unto faith...
Σελίδα 17 - This also we humbly and earnestly beg, that human things may not prejudice such as are divine ; neither that, from the unlocking of the gates of sense, and the kindling of a greater natural light, anything of incredulity, or intellectual night, may arise in our minds towards divine mysteries. But rather, that by our mind thoroughly cleansed and purged from fancy and vanities, and yet subject and perfectly given up to the Divine oracles, there may be given unto faith the things that are faith's.
Σελίδα 68 - Images there are, they constitute all that apparently exists, and what they know of themselves is after the manner of images ; images that pass and vanish without there being aught to witness their transition ; that consist in fact of the images of images, without significance, and without an aim. . myself am one of these images ; nay, I am not even thus much, but only a confused image of images.
Σελίδα 69 - ... without an aim. I myself am one of these images ; nay, I am not even thus much, but only a confused image of images. All reality is converted into a marvellous dream, without a life to dream of, and without a mind to dream — into a dream made up only of a dream of itself. Perception is a dream ; thought — the source of all the existence, and all the reality which I imagine to myself of my existence, of my power, of my destination — is the dream of that dream".

Σελίδα 85 - Thus, the production of new forms, as shewn in the pages of the geological record, has never been anything more than a new stage of progress in gestation, an event as simply natural, and attended as little by any circumstances of a wonderful or startling kind, as the silent advance of an ordinary mother from one week to another of her pregnancy.
Σελίδα 17 - Thou, O Father, who gavest the visible light as the first-born of thy creatures, and didst pour into man the intellectual light as the top and consummation of thy workmanship, be pleased to protect and govern this work, which coining from thy goodness, returneth to thy glory.
