"Be ours to mediate, in these calm shades, they milder majesty, and to the beautiful order of thy works learn to conform the order of our lives." p75
I think this quote is saying that nature was created for us. This way we would have somewhere calming and relaxing to go to. Somewhere we could do deep thinking and conversing at. Very often in movies and shows you will see people sitting in the shade under a tree, thinking or relaxing. William Bryant believed that nature was the place where people should go to worship and do spiritual things. This is similar to the people who hike the AT for religion or like Chris McCandless did for spirituality in Into the Wild.
