Страница 267 - O Lord, how manifold are, thy works ! In wisdom hast thou made them all : The earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and wide sea, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.
Страница 294 - It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Страница 267 - Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Страница 321 - ... that each visible thread of the spider is composed of six thousand smaller ones. Great as these wonders may appear, they are far short of those we should discover, were it possible to obtain glasses of greater magnifying powers ; and even then we could never reach the limits of the creation ; though our microscopes magnified objects many millions of times more than they now do.

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
Страница 237 - ... they form very large tubes, which return the blood back to the right ventricle of the heart. The blood is then propelled into the pulmonary artery, which disperses it through the lungs by innumerable small branches. It is there exposed to the action of the air, is afterwards received by the pulmonary veins, and by them is conveyed to the left auricle of the heart. This contracts, and sends it into the left ventricle, which, also contracting, pushes it into the aorta, whence it circulates through...
Страница 8 - These colours appear the more vivid as the clouds which are behindare darker, and the drops of rain fall closer. The drops falling continually produce a new rainbow every moment, and as each spectator observes it from a particular situation, it happens that scarcely two men, strictly speaking, see the same rainbow; and this meteorous appearance can only last whilst the drops of rain continue to fall.
