On Newtonian Rationalition

 Newton may have been,
the first modern rationalist.

Yes,
the rate of acceleration was proportional
as it increased and decreased. 

Calculus is that measure
of the rate of change. 

First shared with the world,
in "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica"

He then rationalized the motions,
of the planets, 

published the results,
in the Principia,
after decades of Bible Study.

in his day, the University of Cambridge,
was established to train young men,
for ordination.

He then began an intense study of the Bible
in preparation for ordination and graduation. 

He discovered a non-trinitarian god
with body parts and passions in his studies.

In his day, this discovery was a capital offense,
leading to death and destruction in fire. 

So, he suppressed his knowledge.

The king, not wanting to lose his valued mathematician,
gave him a dispensation to avoid ordination.

Was he then the last magician,
with his studies of Alchemy.

On his death, it was discovered
that two-thirds of his writings
were about religion and not natural philosophy.

This knowledge was suppressed for the next
two centuries. 

These are the shadows,
on the walls of the cave,
I wish my fellow travelers understood.
