    “I sawe Phoebus thrust out his golden hedde,

    But when he sawe how broade her beames did spredde

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
