yet the Eclipses of the Sun & Moon are far easier to the conceptions of Reason, than the motion of the Sun and Moon is, considering the vast course they run and perform every day. We admire things out of course, or when their course is disturbed, yet the constant course of things is much more admirable; every time the Sun riseth, every time the rain falleth, every time the wind bloweth, every time the tide turneth, we have a wonderful work of God presented to our contemplation. Though Astronomers and Philosophers have spoken much of the reason or cause of these things, yet they cannot reach the bottom of them. The Stoics differ from the Peripatetics, each having probable and plausible arguments for their opinion about natural things; yet none of them hit the matter fully, because there is a wonderfulness in them which God is pleased to hide from man, as also because they were not at all guided by a divine Light in the disquisition of them, but merely by humane reason and natural understanding.
