The decay, corruption, and dissolution of nature, is an event rendered probable by so many analogies, that any phenomenon, which seems to have a tendency towards that catastrophe, comes within the reach of human testimony, if that testimony be very extensive and uniform.
Naturaren gainbehera, usteldura eta suntsiera hain analogia askok gertakor egiten duen gertaera izanik, katastrofe horretarantz joateko antza duen edozein fenomeno sar daiteke giza testigantzaren eremuan, oso zabala eta bateratua baldin bada testigantza hori.
