What a small part of unmeasurable Time, falls to the share of a single Mortal, and how soon is every one swallow'd up in Eternity? what a handful of the Universal Matter goes to the making a Humane Body, and what a very little of the Universal Soul too, ²⁴ to raise it into an Animal? And on what a narrow Clod with respect to the whole Earth, do you crawl upon? Consider all this, and reckon nothing Great, unless it be to Act in Conformity to your own Reason, and to suffer as the Almighty shall appoint you.
