8.19

Providence does not grant Force, and Faculties at Random, but every thing is made for some end : The Sun as high as 'tis, has its business assign'd, and so have the Celestial Deities : 5 And where's the wonder of all this ? But pray what were you made for ? For your pleasure ? Common Sence won't bear so scandalous an Answer.
