 | "The Reader may here observe the Force of Numbers, which can be
successfully applied, even to those things, which one would imagine are
subject to no Rules. There are very few things which we know, which are
not capable of being reduc"d to a Mathematical Reasoning; and when they
cannot it"s a sign our knowledge of them is very small and confus"d; and
when a Mathematical Reasoning can be had it"s as great a folly to make use
of any other, as to grope for a thing in the dark, when you have a Candle
standing by you." |  |
