Note 50 — Chapter II · THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD BY REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS.
Reading edition
[“The terms nature, and power of nature, and course of nature, are but empty words, and merely mean that a thing occurs usually or frequently. The raising of a human body out of the earth we call a miracle, the generation of one in the ordinary way we call natural, for no other reason than because one is usual the other unusual. Did men usually rise out of the earth like corn we should call that natural.” Dr. Clarke, Controv. with Leibnitz.]
