system of things; the world of matter, or of matter and mind; the
creation; the universe.

God.
Pope.


Nature has caprices which art can not
imitate.

and effects; the powers which produce existing phenomena, whether in
the total or in detail; the agencies which carry on the processes of
creation or of being; -- often conceived of as a single and separate
entity, embodying the total of all finite agencies and forces as
disconnected from a creating or ordering intelligence.


I oft admire

How Nature, wise and frugal, could commit

Such disproportions.
Milton.


3. The established or regular course of
things; usual order of events; connection of cause and
effect.

distinguished from that which is artificial, or forced, or remote

kin.
