NATURE


The imaginary and insubstantial thing that Naturalists call Nature, if it has an external reality, can at the very most be work of art; it cannot be the Artist.

It is an embroidery, and cannot be the Embroiderer.

It is a set of decrees; it cannot be the Issuer of the decrees.

It is a body of the laws of creation, and cannot be the Lawgiver.

It is but a created screen to the dignity of God, and cannot be the Creator.

It is passive and created, and cannot be a Creative Maker.

It is a law, not a power, and cannot possess power.

It is the recipient, and cannot be the source.
