Excerpt from Paley's Natural Theology, Vol. 1 of 4: With Illustrative Notes This Discourse is not a treatise of Natural Theology: it has not for its design an exposition of the doctrines whereof Natural Theology con sists. But its object is, first, to explain the nature of the evidence upon which it rests - to show that it is a science, the truths of which are discovered by induction, like the truths of Natural and Moral Philosophy - that it is a branch of science partaking of the nature of each of those great divisions of human knowledge, and not merely closely allied to them both. Secondly, the object of the Discourse is to explain the advantages attending this study. The work, therefore, is a logical one.

Excerpt from Natural Theology, or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity, Vol. 1: Collected From the Appearances of Nature The works of Dr. Paley have acquired that popularity which renders it scarcely necessary to observe that his Natural Theology was written to establish the truth of the agency and wisdom of the Deity-4mm the admirable contrivances' and mechanism displayed in natural objects, inferring from thence that the knowledge and power requi site for the formation of created nature must be infinite.

Excerpt from Discourse of Natural Theology: Showing the Nature of the Evidence and the Advantages of the Study The words Theology and Religion are Often used as synonymous. Thus Natural Theology and Natural Religion are by many confounded togeo ther. But the more accurate use Of the words is that which makes Theology the science, and Reli gion its subject; and in this manner are they distinguished when we speak Of a professor of theology, and a sense Of religion.

Excerpt from Natural Theology and Genesis A natural theology treats of the existence and character of God as these may be known from reason and nature.

Excerpt from Manual of Natural Theology When I wrote the little volume entitled "Manual of Christian Evidences," I intended, in case it should prove to be acceptable and useful, to prepare a preliminary volume of a like character and compass on Natural Theology. The present book has been written to carry out that purpose. It is designed, like its predecessor, for readers and pupils who have not time for the study of more extended treatises. It is unavoidable that the subject of Natural Theology should call for a somewhat more severe exercise of attention and reflection on their part than was necessary in connection with the former book. But I have tried to make the discussion as plain as is consistent with thoroughness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Natural Theology: Or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity, Collected From the Appearances of Nature It was the original design of the publishers to have merely attached the plates and references Of Paxton, which have been published m England and m this country in a separate volume, to the text of Dr. Paley. It Was, however, suggested to them that the value of their edition might be increased by the addition of Notes, and they had made arrangements for this purpose and were going on with the Work, when Mr. Paxton' s' edition of the Natural' Theology fell into their hands, containing, beside the plates, a cons1de1 able number of Notes. From these notes a selection has been' made of such as seemed most valuable and interesting. A' number of Notes have also been made up of quotations from the excellent treatise of Mr. Charles Bell on Animal Mechanics, published In the Library of Useful Knowledge a tract which cannot 'be too highly recommended to the perusal of those Who take pleasure m studying the indications of a wise and be nevolent Providence in the works Of creation.

Excerpt from Principles of Natural Theology It follows from what we have said that in the Scholastic philosophy Natural Theology is no um essential adjunct, no mere afterthought, but a substantive and vital part of the system, without which it would be radically incomplete. It claims to establish from assured first principles the exist ence of'a Supreme Being, distinct from the finite and mutable things of experience. It maintains, further, that though the limitations of the human intellect render all our knowledge of Him inade quate, we are not wholly ignorant of His nature. There are certain attributes which can be affirmed of Him with certainty, though they are His in a manner more 'perfect than any which we can imagine. Above all, He is' intelligent and free, and therefore possessed of personality. In Him it finds the source and origin of all finite beings, and the final cause in view of which such beings exist.
