Scripture, Revelation, and our own inward Feelings of the Operations of our Soul, give the Data, (viz. the general Propo|sitions, the accurate Observations on them) analogous to Mr. Flamstead's or Dr. Halley's Observations of the Appulses of the Moon to the Fixed Stars, from sufficient Numbers of which, the great Orbit of the Lunar Revolu|tion is determin'd, by comparing them with the general Law of Attraction. Here Reve|lation gives us the Observations; the Know|ledge we have of the Nature of the Operations of our own Spirits, gives us the general Law; and Analogy may answer to Algebra and Calculation in Astronomy and mix'd Mathe|matics; and we may err and blunder in the first for want of Care and Attention, as we may in the last, being ever finite, and conse|quently fallible.§. 15. THE Account we have in Revela|tion of the Lapse, may have a literal, natu|ral and material Meaning (as all the Words and Works of God have a natural or literal, spiritual and divine Meaning and Use, else he were not God, that is, a Being of infinite Per|fection); and these Meanings may only deve|lope0
