PLATE XXIV.
Is a Representation of the Convexity, if I may call it so, of the intire Creation, as a universal Coalition of all the Stars consphered round one general Center, and as all governed by one and the same Law.
PLATE XXV.
Is a centeral Section of the same, with the Eye of Providence seated in the Center, as in the virtual Agent of Creation.
PLATE XXVI.
Represents a Creation of a double Construction, where a superior Order of Bodies C, may be imagined to be circumscribed by the former one A, as possessing a more eminent Seat, and nearer the supream Presence, and consequently of a more perfect Nature. Lastly,
PLATE XXVII.
Represents such a Section, and Segments of the same, as I hope will give you a perfect Idea of what I mean by such a Theory.
Fig. 1. is a corresponding Section of the Part at A, in Fig. 2. whose versed Sine is equal to half the Thickness of the starry Vortice A C, or B A. Now I say, by supposing the Thickness of this Shell, 1. you may imagine the middle Semi-Chord A D, or A E, to be nearly 6; and consequently thus in a like regular Distribution of the Stars, there must of course be at least three Times as many to be seen in this Direction of the Sine, or Semi-chord A E, itself, than in that of the semi-versed Sine A C, or any where near the Direction of the Radius of the Space G. Q. E. D.
