Yea presuming too boldly to conclude of unrevealed things, (so high) seemeth to me dangerous temerity, curiosity, and profaneness, like the Bethshemites or Uzzah's meddling with the Ark, and the Sons of A•r•n offering false fire. Let them therefore here thus proceed that dare. For I dare not.

§. 18. But this much I easily concede, 1. That as all Being is originally from God, so there is a continued divine causation of them, without which they would all cease or be annihilated: which some call a continued Creation, and some an Emanation; and some a continued Action or operation ad rerum esse. And it is an intolerable error to hold that God hath made the World or any part of it self-sufficient or Independent as to himself, as to Being, Action or Perfection. We grant therefore that all the world is so far United to God, as to depend on his continued causality: And that the Beams do not more depend on the Sun, or Light; heat and motion on the Sun and other fire, nor the branches, fruit and leaves more depend on the Tree, than the Creature on God.
