Miraculum enim est,
non ut quidam nostri temporis Philosophi Cartesiani putant
in eo consistit, ut sit contra voluntates Generales dei, legesve
ab eo naturae rerum latas ( quo facto non in fixa sed in arbitraria
notione consisteret, extrinsecaque denominatione constaret:) sed ejus
formalis ratio est, ut per causas efficientes secundas explicari
nequeat. Nam etsi (ut exemplo utar) Deus lege generali decerneret,
Corpora vi propria in curva semel coepta mansura, nec per tangentem
inde recessura; atque adeo planetam in liquidissimo aethere (non multo
magis quam vacuum ad totum conferente) nulla licet causa assignabili

dum tangentem deforquente, tamen circularem lineam vel Elliptidam
descripturum; hoc(inquam etsi semel in universum decerneret Deus,
non ideo prseoba ex miraculoso naturale redderet. (um enim nihil reperiatur
in his quae de Corpore intelligi possunt natura corporis intelligi possunt,
quo tale aliquid effici queat; vel ad vocanda esset Intelligentia
Mpotrix ex earum genere quas Aristotelici formas Assistentes vosabani
suisque orbibus coelestibus solidis assignabant, quas tamen hoc ipsas tamen
hoc modo locum non habere, nec corporum leges mutare posse, satis
apparet ex nostro systemate Harmoniae praestabilitae; vel potius
ad Deum ex machina confugiendum esset, continua peculia ri
