Why do you think Newton’s focus on new observations/experiments came from Cartesian ontology, when Newton doesn’t wholly buy that ontology?
I’m saying the popes inadvertently created a separate concept of secular aspirations—often opposed to religious authorities, though not to God if he turns out to exist. This “imperial role” business is arguably a rival form of the idea, though Newton did in fact work for the Crown.
My main source is lecture series towards which I linked above. The Newtonian worldview is presented as the lecture that follows after the one I linked.

At the time the Crown was the head of the church in England.
