EVERY SPECIES OF ANIMAL IS POSSESSED OF BEAUTIES PECITLIAK TO IT- 

 SELF. THE MORE MAN CONSIDERS THEM, THE MORE THEY EXCITE HIS 

 ADMIRATION, AND THE MORE THEY ENGAGE HIM TO ADORE THE AUTHOR 

 OF NATURE, WHO HAS MADE EVERY THING IN WISDOM, WHO HAS SUB- 

 JECTED EVERY THING TO HIS POWER, AND WHOSE GOODNESS GOVERNS THE 



WHOLE. St. An^zistin. 



IS NOT THE SMALLEST WORM THE WORK OF THE SUPREME BEING, AS 

 WELL AS THE MOST PERFECT ANIMAL? AND IF GOD HAS JUDGED IT NOT 

 BELOW HIM TO CREATE IT, WHY SHOULD IT BE THOUGHT A WEAKNESS IN A 

 REASONABLE MAN TO MAKE IT THE OBJECT OF HIS RESEARCH? LeSser.
