'Tis most apparent that all Beings must be from the chief Being, all Truth from the ⟨p. 138⟩first Truth, all Goodness from supreme Goodness, all Numbers from perfect Unity, and all Ranks and Orders from infinite Wisdom; and this chief Being, first Truth, supreme Goodness, perfect Unity, and infinite Wisdom can be no other than God alone. But if this satisfy not, you may yet further see God's glorious Immensity in the vast capacious Heavens, his invariable Immobility in the unmoveable Earth, his Faithfulness in the great Mountains, his unsearchable Judgments in the great Deep, his dreadful Justice in the devouring Fire, his wonderful Omniscience in the Sun the rolling Eye of the World, his transcendent Beauty in the Varnish of the Light; the plain foot-steps of the Eternal Power and Godhead in every Creature, and the glorious impress of his own Image and Likeness in Men and Angels. Thus the very Creatures themselves tell us, that their beginning was from God.
