SECT. I. Of Laws in General

. Suppose in making a Law of might have been better employed than thus to trouble. Among others he has made if this being's making are Laws of
Optics. That the is Among others that are given for
Laws of Optics this is one: that the Angle of incidence the reflection is
say other men; (shall be says must our Author say to make
it serve him for an example,) equal to the angle of
incidence. (The say the was brought about says and this⊞ ⊞ We now understand how this matter was brought about.
Hark ye, your rays (said the Author of nature once
upon a time) hark ye, your rays⊞ ⊞ There are some surfaces
you will meet
with in your travels
that when you strike
upon them, will make
send you packing:
now when thats the in such
case, this is what
I he would have
you do: (be sure)
keep the same slope
always in going
that you did in
coming: Mind & do what
I say: if I you dont, (when you strike
upon a flat surface and are bounded back again,
mind you keep the same slope in going that you
did in coming, or) as sure as you rays it will
be the worse for you: upon which this the rays (finding
they should get into bad bread else) made their bows
shrugged up their shoulders and went and did so.
"Let there be light and there was light". This is all we
are told of the manner of making light by others: but
there was enough in it for Longines to admire: Our Author is in possession
of further particulars. The light it seems made
a virtue of necessity, and crept slunk into existence, for
fear of⊞ ⊞ getting its bones broke. (what might have been done to it else.)‡ I question
whether Longines would have admired this way of making
light.

In the same manner we may understand how Mr Ellliot
makes his clocks go true: his way is to serve them as a
choleric Papist serves his Saints: beat them if they
won't do as he would have them.
