Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 3 of 3: Literary and Religious Sir Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthorpe in the parish of Colsterworth, in the county of Lincoln, Dec.25, A.D. 1642. The following words were spoken in its church, on the occasion of its restoration (mainly by the energy of the present Rector, the Rev. John Mirehouse), on July 25, 1877 (St. James´ Day), 150 years after Newton´s death. In the nineteenth Psalm the inspired author represents the natural world and the spiritual world as two books, written by one and the same Divine Hand. "The heavens declare the glory of God." The heavens have an apostolic office; they are messengers, heralds, preachers of the power and love of the Great Creator, and proclaim His praise. "Their sound is gone out into all lands, and their words into the ends of the world." The Holy Spirit speaking by St. Paul in the tenth chapter to the Romans teaches us to make this comparison by applying these words to the first preachers of the Gospel (Rom. x. 8). The Psalmist also compares days and nights to Evangelists announcing God´s attributes in never-ceasing homilies of silent eloquence. And he says that in the midst of this glorious system is pavilioned the Sun, joyful as a bridegroom (words adopted in the New Testament, and applied to Christ, John i. 14; iii. 29), and exulting as a giant to do the work of God in cheering the world with his light and heat. The Sun revolves round his axis, and although relatively fixed (or nearly so) as the centre of our system, may well be said to go forth by the influence of gravitation acting from him everywhere, and by the light and warmth of his rays penetrating into every part of that system. Having described the glory of the heavens, the Psalmist passes on to speak of the spiritual world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
