Supernaturalism [centered]

As soon as we begin to give any
theme our fixed attention, we are
obliged, for the sake of clearness,
to state our propositions and de-
-fine our terms. We can not well
define what Supernaturalism is, even negatively,
till we have considered the natu-
-ral, and, ascertained what Nature
is. Nature is that by etymology
which is born, which becomes,
which has a beginning, and a process.
Nature is phenomenal, rather than
essential. Nature, in the largest
sense, is the aggregate or totality
of all physical phenomena.
