Excerpt from Analogies in the Progress of Nature and Grace: Four Sermons Preached Before the University of Cambridge, (Being the Hulsean Lectures for 1867); To Which Are Added Two Sermons Preached Before the British Association in 1866 and 1867

Of a being endued with an acute apprehension of the glory and the beauty of colour and of form. Moreover, the relations of all nature, animated and inorganic, and the observable yet complicated mo tions Of the heavenly bodies, are all correlated to the marvellous intellectual faculties of Man, who is placed in their midst, and is to render them subservient to his necessities, his convenience, or his enjoyment. I have pointed out how the very existence of such faculties is a prophecy Of their immortality.

The Hulsean Lectures contained in the present Volume were not written so much with the view of defending Revealed Religion from objections said to be drawn from modern Science, as to shew that Revealed Religion and the Scheme of Nature, physical and social, are in correlation the one to the other, and form the continuity of one Divine plan.

For instance, the deposition of the Coal fields in ages past, practically formed one long continuous prophecy of the advent of an intelligent being who, in the fullness of time, was to receive the command, 'Subdue the Earth.'
