Abstract
We now come to a subject that tends even more to transcend the subtlety and insight of all intelligence. For it is, indeed, in a contemplation of the distances, infinite numbers, and vastness of those bodies existing beyond the world of our planets, as well as the enormous distances between the dispersed luminaries themselves, that the Majesty, Omnipotence of God, and the unfathomable depths of His creativity is more manifest than anywhere else.
