English abstract

Basically, Newton simply wants to reaffirm the truth of God's omnipresence, without directly involving him in the physics of the world system. Newton simply wants to distance himself from a Cartesian concept of God and convince atheists that God is a real presence extended in the world. God must exist in space, in order to exist, but God does not act only by contact. Newton always assumed that God acted through secondary causes.

Romanian abstract

Practic, Newton vrea pur și simplu să reafirme adevărul omniprezenței lui Dumnezeu, fără să-l implice direct în fizica sistemului mondial. Newton dorește pur și simplu să se distanțeze de un concept cartezian al lui Dumnezeu și să-i convingă pe atei că Dumnezeu este o prezență reală extinsă în lume. Dumnezeu trebuie să existe în spațiu, pentru a exista, dar Dumnezeu nu acționează numai prin contact. Newton a presupus întotdeauna că Dumnezeu a acționat prin cauze secundare.
