Virtue Is The Habit Of Acting According To Wisdom.

According To Their [newton And His Followers] Doctrine, God Almighty Wants To Wind Up His Watch From Time To Time: Otherwise It Would Cease To Move. He Had Not, It Seems, Sufficient Foresight To Make It A Perpetual Motion. Nay, The Machine Of God's Making, So Imperfect, According To These Gentlemen; That He Is Obliged To Clean It Now And Then By An Extraordinary Concourse, And Even To Mend It, As Clockmaker Mends His Work.

There Are Also Two Kinds Of Truths, Those Of Reasoning And Those Of Fact. Truths Of Reasoning Are Necessary And Their Opposite Is Impossible, And Those Of Fact Are Contingent And Their Opposite Is Possible. When A Truth Is Necessary Its Reason Can Be Found By Analysis, Resolving It Into More Simple Ideas And Truths Until We Reach Those Which Are Primitive.

Everything That Is Possible Demands To Exist.

But In Simple Substances The Influence Of One Monad Over Another Is Ideal Only.
