[*Footnote; As to the existence of pure natural science, or physics, perhaps many may still express doubts. of pains and pleasures, which neither belong to ourselves, nor at the present instant have any real existence. But the substratum of all reality, that is, of all that pertains to the existence of things, is substance; all that pertains to existence can be cogitated only as a determination of substance. We have not the slightest ground absolutely to admit the existence of an object corresponding to this idea; for what can empower or authorize us to affirm the existence of a being of the highest perfection--a being whose existence is absolutely necessary--merely because we possess the conception of such a being? We infer, from the order and design visible in the universe, as a disposition of a thoroughly contingent character, the existence of a cause proportionate thereto. Reflection tells us, that even our resembling perceptions are interrupted in their existence, and different from each other.
