Re: Newton's later "research"

Hi Jim,
 The last section of Book III of the Principia contains passages re: God :
"This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only
proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful
Being. . . . The Supreme God is a Being eternal, infinite, absolutely
perfect . . ."
(Prometheus Books translation)
