REMARKS. On surveying the world and its appendages, the proof of God's existence is strongly exhibited.

This kind of reasoning, which some have termed proving the existence of God from the light of nature, is acknowledged by revelation. "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."
