M. F. ibid. p. 250.

His attempting to prove, that all the Phaenomena of the Universe might arise out of matter by meer mechanical motion, and that matter a∣lone, supposing such a degree of motion communicated to it—could have produced the Sun, Moon, Stars, Planets, Animals, and the Bodies of Men in such Organization, Order, Beauty and Harmo∣ny, as now they are.

Dr. More ibid.

It is a confessed principle with him, that matter alone with such a degree of motion, as is supposed now in the Universe, will produce all the Phaenome∣na of the World, Sun, Moon, and Stars, Air, Water, Earth, Planets, Animals, and the Bo∣dies of men, in such order and orginazation, as they are found.
