Note 247 — Chapter VI · CONSERVATION.—THE RELATION OF GOD TO THE WORLD.
Reading edition
By Energy we understand "the power of doing work," or overcoming resistance, which in nature is something perfectly intelligible and measurable, equivalent in all cases to the product of the mass into the square of the velocity. By Force we understand "that which originates motion." All the forms of Energy have therefore their origin in Force, and Force has its origin in the Will of the Deity.
