But with regard to the material world，we can at least go so far as this——we can perceive that events are brought about not by insulated interpositions of Divine power，exerted in each particular case，but by the establishment of general laws.

——Whewell，Bridgewater Treatise

我们至少能够说，我们得以看到，物质世界发生的事件，不是神力在每一特定场合的孤立干预所致，而是由于普遍法则的实施所致。

——惠威尔，《布里吉沃特论文集》

The only distinct meaning of the word ‘natural’ is stated，fixed or settled；since what is natural as much requires and presupposes an intelligent agent to render it so，i.e.，to effect it continually or at stated times，as what is supernatural or miraculous does to effect it for once.
