116 psl. - In the morning it is green and groweth up, but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered.
17 psl. - For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away : but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
339 psl. - Sometimes the cold becomes so intense all of a sudden that, if they are not saved in time, people are in danger of losing an arm, a leg, or even their life. The fall of snow is still more dangerous ; the wind drives it with such violence that nobody can find their way ; the trees and bushes are covered with it, the sight is blinded by it, and people sink into precipices at every step. In summer it is constantly light for three months, and in winter it is perpetual night during the same space of time....
20 psl. - Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
26 psl. - ... great Benefactor. Let us represent to ourselves an atmosphere loaded with noxious and pestilential vapours which thicken more and more by the continual exhalations of earthly bodies, so many of which are corrupt and poisonous We must breathe this air ; the preservation or destruction of our existence depends upon it.
345 psl. - With what splendor, does the power of God manifest itself to the mind, when we reflect on the multitude of parts of which these creatures are composed, of whose very existence most men are ignorant ! Were we not, at any time, able to prove it by experiment, could we imagine there were animals a million of times less than a grain of sand, with organs of nutrition, motion, &c. ? There are shellfish so small, that, even viewed through the microscope, they appear scarcely so large as a grain of barley...
26 psl. - ... our usual facility of breathing ? Were it not for storms, the dangerous exhalations would more and more increase, and be more and more corrupt. Men and animals would perish by millions. Which is then the most reasonable, to fear or to wish for storms ? To murmur at the slight mischief they may sometimes occasion, or to bless God for the precious advantages they procure us ? Let us add, that not only men and animals are benefitted by purifying the air, but that it is also very useful to the vegetables.
390 psl. - They are indeed buried in snow ; but this is necessary, in order to preserve them from the cold, as well as to prevent the grain from corrupting. The ground requires rest, after having yielded in the summer all that we want for the winter. If our present support had not been provided for, if in this severe season we were obliged to cultivate the earth, there might be some foundation for our complaints. But all our wants are supplied, and we enjoy a repose suitable to the season.
268 psl. - ... plentiful harvest. Nature at first, indeed, works in secret, while the seed is opening; but its operations may be discovered, by taking some of the grains out of the ground when they are beginning to shoot. Two days after the grain is put into the earth, it is swelled by the juices, and begins to shoot. The shoot is always at one of the ends of the grain: and that part of it which is next the outside of the grain is the little root of the future plant. The part turned inwards is the stalk and...
26 psl. - Experience teaches us, that the rain which falls when it thunders, is the most fruitful to the earth. The saline and sulphurous particles which fill the atmosphere during a storm, are drawn down by the rain, and become excellent nourishment for the plants ; without mentioning the number of small worms, seeds, and little insects which are also drawn down in thunder showers, and are with the help of a microscope, visible in the drops of water...
