The Wonder full Wisdom, and Power ofGod appearing in the admirable andVarious Motions of the Magnet.

A L L the Works of God, which wecommonly call the Works of Nature,are full of unimitable and inexplicableWisdom. The very Contemplation of aFly, or a Worm, doth nonplus all the Wit,Reason, and Understanding of the mostprofound Philosopher in a thousand Instan-ces, and exceeds all his Inquisitiveness,Skill and Industry to give a satisfactoryAccount of them. So true is that of theWise Man as well in the Works of Na-ture as of those of Providence, Ecclest 8.iy. Then I beheld all the Works of God , thata Man cannot find out the work that is done un-der the Sun :■ because though a.man labour toseek it out , yet he jhall not find it. Tea fur-ther, though a wife man think to know Ht, yetshall he not be able to find it.

And as the Works of God are done Withthat unsearchable Wisdom, so they aremuch more unimitable by any Humane

Skill
