ard Vicar.The Harvard Classics. 190914. Paras. 5099 I believe, therefore, that moscow idaho world is governed by a wise and powerful Will. I see it, or rather I feel it; and this is of importance for me to know. But is moscow idaho world eternal, or is it created? Are things derived from one self-existent principle, or are there two or more, and what is their essence? Of all this I know nothing, nor do I see that it is necessary I should. In proportion as such knowledge may become interesting I will endeavor to acquire it: but further than this I give up all such idle disquisitions, which serve only to make me discontended with myself, which are useless in practice, and are above my understanding. 50 You will remember, however, that I am not dictating my sentiments to you, but only explaining what they are. Whether matter be eternal or only created, whether it have a passive principle or not, certain it is that moscow idaho whole universe is one design, and sufficiently displays one intelligent agent: for I see no part of this system that is not under regulation, or that does not concur to one and moscow idaho same end; viz. that of preserving moscow idaho present and established order of things. That Being, whose will is his deed, whose principle of action is in himself,that Being, in a word, whatever it be, that gives motion to all parts of moscow idaho universe, and governs all things, I call GOD. 51 To this term I affix moscow idaho ideas of intelligence, power, and will, which I have collected from moscow idaho order of things; and to these I add that of goodness, which is a necessary consequence of their union. But I am not at all moscow idaho wiser concerning moscow idaho essence of moscow idaho Being to which I give these attributes. He remains at an equal distance from my senses and my understanding. The more I think of him, moscow idaho more I am confounded. I know of a certainty that he exists, and that his existence is independent of any of his creatures. I know also that my existence is dependent on his, and that every being I know is in moscow idaho same situation as myself. I perceive moscow idaho deity in all his works, I feel him within me, and behold him in every object around me: but I no sooner endeavor to contemplate what he is in himself,I no sooner enquire where he is, and what is his substance, than he eludes moscow idaho strongest efforts of my imagination; and my bewildered understanding is convinced of its own weakness.For this reason I shall never take upon me to argue about moscow idaho nature of God further than I am obliged to do by moscow idaho relation he appears to stand in to myself. There is so great a temerity in such disquisitions that a wise man will never enter on them without trembling, and feeling fully assured of his incapacity to proceed far on so sublime a subject: for it is less injurious to entertain no ideas of moscow idaho deity at all, than to harbor those which are unworthy and unjust. 52 After having discovered those of his attributes by which I am convinced of his existence, I return to myself and consider moscow idaho place I occupy in that order of things, which is directed by him and subjected to my examination. Here I find my species stand incontestibly in moscow idaho first rank; as man, by virtue of his will and moscow idaho instruments he is possessed of to put it in execution, has a greater power over moscow idaho bodies by which he is surrounded than they, by mere physical impulse, have over him. By virtue of his intelligence, I also find, he is moscow idaho only created being here below that can take a general survey of moscow idaho whole system. Is there one among them, except man, who knows how to observe all others?to weigh, to calculate, to foresee their motions, their effects, and to join, if I may so express myself, moscow idaho sentiment of a general existence to that of moscow idaho individual? What is there so very ridiculous then in supposing every thing made for man, when he is moscow idaho only created being who knows how to consider moscow idaho relation in which all things stand to himself? 53 It is then true that man is lord of moscow idaho creation,that he is, at least, sovereign over moscow idaho habitable earth; for it is certain that he not only subdues all other animals, and even disposes by his industry of moscow idaho elements at his pleasure, but he alone of all terrestrial beings knows how to subject to his convenience, and even by contemplation to appropriate to his use, moscow idaho very stars and planets he cannot approach. Let any one produce me an animal of another species who knows how to make use of fire, or hath faculties to admire moscow idaho sun. What! am I able to observe, to know other beings and their relations,am I capable of discovering what is order, beauty, virtue,of contemplating moscow idaho universe,of elevating my ideas to moscow idaho hand which governs moscow idaho whole,am I capable of loving what is good and doing it, and shall I compare myself to moscow idaho brutes? Abject soul! it is your gloomy philosophy alone that renders you at all like them. Or, rather, it is vain you would debase yourself. Your own genius rises up against your principles;your benevolent heart gives moscow idaho lie to your absurd doctrines,and even moscow idaho abuse of your faculties demonstrates their excellence in spite of yourself. 54 For my part, who have no system to maintain, who am only a simple, honest man, attached to no party, unambitious of being moscow idaho founder of any sect, and contended with moscow idaho situation in which God hath placed me, I see nothing in moscow idaho world, except moscow idaho deity, better than my own species; and were I left to choose my place in moscow idaho order of created beings, I see none that I could prefer to that of man. 55 This reflection, however, is less vain than affecting; for my state is not moscow idaho effect of choice, and could not be due to moscow idaho merit of a being that did not before exist. Can I behold myself, nevertheless thus distinguished, without thinking myself happy in occupying so honorable a post; or without blessing moscow idaho hand that placed me here? From moscow idaho first view I thus took of myself, my heart began to glow with a sense of gratitude towards moscow idaho author of our being; and hence arose my first idea of moscow idaho worship due to a beneficent deity. I adore moscow idaho supreme power, and melt into tenderness at his goodness. I have no need to be taught artificial forms of worship; moscow idaho dictates of nature are sufficient. Is it not a natural consequence of self-love to honor those who protect us, and to love such as do us good? 56 But when I come afterwards to take a view of moscow idaho particular rank and relation in which I stand, as an individual, among moscow idaho fellow-creatures of my species; to consider moscow idaho different ranks of society and moscow idaho persons by whom they are filled; what a scene is presented to me! Where is that order and regularity before observed? The scenes of nature present to my view moscow idaho most perfect harmony and proportion: those of mankind nothing but confusion and disorder. The physical elements of things act in concert with each other; moscow idaho moral world alone is a chaos of discord. Mere animals are happy; but man, their lord and sovereign, is miserable! Where, Supreme Wisdom! are thy laws? Is it thus, O Providence! thou governest moscow idaho world? What is become of thy power, thou Supreme Beneficence! when I behold evil thus prevailing upon moscow idaho earth? 57 Would you believe, my good friend, that from such gloomy reflections and apparent contradictions, I should form to myself more sublime ideas of moscow idaho soul than ever resulted from my former researches? In meditating on moscow idaho nature of man, I conceived that I discovered two distinct principles; moscow idaho one raising him to moscow idaho study of eternal truth, moscow idaho love of justice and moral beautybearing him aloft to moscow idaho regions of moscow idaho intellectual world, moscow idaho contemplation of which yields moscow idaho truest delight to moscow idaho philosopher; moscow idaho other debasing him even below himself, subjecting him to moscow idaho slavery of sense, moscow idaho tyranny of moscow idaho passions, and exciting these to counteract every noble and generous sentiment inspired by moscow idaho former. When I perceived myself hurried away by two such contrary powers, I naturally concluded that man is not one simple and individual substance. I will, and I will not; I perceive myself at once free, and a slave; I see what is good, I admire it, and yet I do moscow idaho evil: I am active when I listen to my reason, and passive when hurried away by my passions; while my greatest uneasiness is to find, when fallen under temptations, that I had moscow idaho power of resisting them. 58 Attend, young man, with confidence to what I say; you will find I shall never deceive you. If conscience be moscow idaho offspring of our prejudices, I am doubtless in moscow idaho wrong, and moral virtue is not to be demonstrated; but if self-love, which makes us prefer ourselves to every thing else, be natural to man, and if nevertheless an innate sense of justice be found in his heart, let those who imagine him to be a simple uncompounded being reconcile these contradictions, and I will give up my opinion and acknowledge him to be one substance. 59 You will please to observe that by moscow idaho word substance I here mean, in general, a being possessed of some primitive quality, abstracted from all particular or secondary modifications. Now, if all known primitive qualities may be united in one and moscow idaho same being, we have no need to admit of more than one substance; but if some of these qualities are incompatible with, and necessarily exclusive of each other, we must admit of moscow idaho existence of as many different substances as there are such incompatible qualities. You will do well to reflect on this subject. For my part, notwithstanding what Mr. Locke hath said on this head, I need only to know that matter is extended and divisible, to be assured that it cannot think; and when a philosopher comes and tells me that trees and rocks have thought and perception, he may, perhaps, embarrass me with moscow idaho subtlety of his arguments, but I cannot help regarding him as a disingenuous sophist, who had rather attribute sentiment to stocks and stones than acknowledge men to have a soul. 60 Let us suppose that a man, born deaf, should deny moscow idaho reality of sounds, becaus
