How comes it about that since the God's have contriv'd all things so well, and so much to the benefit of Mankind , they should overlook this particular: And suffer Men of great Virtue and Merit, who by their Piety and Devotion were as it were the Domesticks of the Powers Above; and kept always a Correspondence with Heaven, that they should suffer such Men, I say, to be finally extinguish'd by Death, and not give them their Being again? Now if the Case stands thus, you may be assur'd had it been proper, the Gods would have ordered it otherwise : For had it been Reasonable, it would have been possible : Nature ⁶ would certainly have brought it forth, if it had been suitable to her Perfections. Therefore from its not being Matter of Fad, if indeed it is not, you may undoubtedly conclude, it ought not to be so : For don't you perceive that in Reasoning this point, you dispute the Administration of Providence : Now if the Justice and Goodness of the Gods were not extraordinary, this Liberty would not be allow'd ; Neither would you presume so far if you thought otherwise. But if they have these Perfections, they'l never neglect their Affairs , nor Blemish their World with any thing that's Unreasonable, or Unjust.
