M. F. p. 51.

What convictions are we furnished with of the Being of God, from the innate har∣mony that is in the several parts of the Creation, and the convenient disposure of all the Creatures to a subservi∣ency to one another in mutual offices; chance cannot have linkt one thing to another, nor can contraries combine into a mutual coalition without the influence of a supreme Being, who overrules them.

Sir Charles ibid. p. 42.

The natural rectitude and innate harmony of the world, and the due subordination of things one to another, and to the whole of the world.

Direct contraries are over∣ruled to a perfect harmony and coalition in the propagati∣on of the world, p. 87.
