London: Printed for W. Rogers, S. Smith, and B. Walford: at the Sun against St. Dunstan's church in Fleetstreet; and at the Prince's Arms in St. Paul's church-yard, 1701. This copy is bound in its original full calf, it is a nice copy. This is Grew's last work was published in 1701. I. The argument is specially directed against Spinoza, the nature of God being deduced à priori and à posteriori, from the necessity of His being and from His handiwork. As in Ray's 'Wisdom of God in Creation,' and other similar works, the argument à posteriori begins with much borrowed astronomical learning; but in a funeral sermon on the author we are assured, not only that he was 'acquainted with the theories of the Heavenly Bodies, skill'd in Mechanicks and Mathematicks, the Proportions of Lines and Numbers, and the Composition and Mixture of Bodies, particularly of the Human Body,' but also that he was 'well acquainted with the whole Body of Divinity,' and had studied Hebrew to more proficiency than most divines, so as to read the scriptures in the original.
"The greater part of this is in the ordinary style of apologetics, or a treatise upon the evidences of Christianity; and, so far as this part is concerned, the title, Sacred Cosmology, has no pertinence. But it also contains design-arguments, and a singular theory of a "vital principle" in matter generally, aside from vegetative and animal life,-a sort of hylozoism, or world-soul theory. So far it is cosmological, or treats of the cosmos." A Critique of Design-arguments: A Historical Review and Free Examination of the Methods of Reasoning in Natural Theology. Lewis Ezra Hicks: Charles Scribner, 1883. Folio, 12 x 8 inches π3, B2, A2,(a)-(e)8,A-Z2, Aa-Zz2,Aaa-Zzz2,Aaaa-Zzzzz, Aaaaa2,Bbbbb1.
