What is meant by the under-lined part here
What a deep conviction of the rationality of the universe and what a yearning to understand, were it but a feeble reflection of the mind revealed in this world, Kepler and Newton must have had to enable them to spend years of solitary labor in disentangling the principles of celestial mechanics!
Thank you.

This is a difficult passage to interpret so you may get different opinions. I interpret the underlined part thus: even if it might be only an imperfect glimpse of the orderliness of the universe If the context is religious, the "mind" referred to might be the "mind of ***". CJ
