The First Thought Is Often The Best.

Every Man Is To Be Considered In Two Capacities, The Private And Public; As Designed To Pursue His Own Interest, And Likewise To Contribute To The Good Of Others.

God Almighty Is, To Be Sure, Unmoved By Passion Or Appetite, Unchanged By Affection; But Then It Is To Be Added That He Neither Sees Nor Hears Nor Perceives Things By Any Senses Like Ours; But In A Manner Infinitely More Perfect.

Thus There Is No Doubt The Eye Was Intended For Us To See With.

Both Our Senses And Our Passions Are A Supply To The Imperfection Of Our Nature; Thus They Show That We Are Such Sort Of Creatures As To Stand In Need Of Those Helps Which Higher Orders Of Creatures Do Not.

The Sum Of The Whole Is Plainly This: The Nature Of Man Considered In His Single Capacity, And With Respect Only To The Present World, Is Adapted And Leads Him To Attain The Greatest Happiness He Can For Himself In The Present World.
