Pag 5 lin 7- hath remissed released & confirmed & by these presents

doth remiss release & confirm unto the said Cath. Barton (in her actuall possession now bring by virtue of a bargain - - - - & By force of the statute made for transferring of uses into possession) the said Office of Keeper & the custody of the said Park &c

Philosophy is not to <undecipherable>

For Miracles are so called not because they are the works of God But because they happen seldom & for that reason create wonder. If they should happen constantly according to certain laws inprest <undecipherable> upon the nature of things, they 

                 or miracles

would be no longer wonders^but might be considered in Philosophy as a part of the Phenomena of Nature [notwithstanding their being the effects of Gods laws impressed upon Nature By the powers of God] notwithstanding that the cause of their causes might be unknown to us. Any Occult qualities have been exploded not be because their causes are unknown to us but Because <undecipherable> By giving that name of occult gives to the specific qualities of things, <undecipherable> <undecipherable> a stop has been put to all inquiry into the causes as if they could not be known because <undecipherable the great Philosopher Aristotel <undecipherable> was able to find <undecipherable>. Mr 

    alters &              miracles & occult qualities

Leibnitz ^ enlarges the signification of the words ^ that he may make use of them in exploding (I do not say confusing) them <undecipherable> God taken from the Phenomenon of <undecipherable> Philosophy of Mr Newton so far as it relates to the pressing argue argument for proving a Deity from the phenomena of nature. And at the same time he is profound 

      said              in time
But its ^ that hypotheses may ^ meet with an Experimentum Crucis <undecipherable
<undecipherable> Philosophy & Mr Leibnitz proposes Hypotheses

when Hypotheses vary with Experimenta Crucis they will cease to be Hypotheses & <undecipherable> for that end. I <undecipherable> that when his Hypotheses that God is Intelligentia Supramundana, that <undecipherable> is. <undecipherable> an Harmonia preestablishes that all animal motion (even in man himself) is purely mechanical, that God 

                                   can

has created the world to perfect that it never ^ fall into disorder or <undecipherable> to be amended, that all the Phenomena in nature <undecipherable> are purely mecha nical, that matter is endowed with a self moving power ing Hypotheses <undecipherable> (not <undecipherable> to be examined by experiments but precarious opinions to believe without any proof) which turn Philosophy into a Romance]
