35^ APPENDIX. Chap. IIL 



The fum of what I have faici iipon'thisdiftlndion betwixt Man and 

 Brute is, that the Intelligence; which governs the Brute, is not in him as 

 the Intelligence, by which we are governed, is in us, but is external ; 

 and, being infinitely fupeiior to ours, it is no wonder that he is very 

 much better dired:ed and governed than we are. We are not, how- 

 ever, from thence to infer, as fome rafhly do, that the Brute is a 

 more perfed: or happier animal than we are : For the Brute is not 

 capable of the greateft Iiappinefs, which confifts in the enjoyment of 

 Ictelleift, but muft be fatisfied with the pleafurcs of the animal na- 

 ture ; whereas we are capable of intelle<5tual pleafurc ; and therefore 

 are by nature an animal of an higher order, and deftined for greater 

 happinefs, though, for want of cultivation of our Intelledl, and by 

 the prevalence of our animal nature over it, (not an animal nature 

 governed by infinite Wifdom, like the animal nature of the Brute, 

 but by our imperfed Intelled), we are often degraded to brutes, and 

 made more m.iferable even than they, at leafl for a certain time. 



I have clfewhere obferved *, that there is this difference betwixt 

 the works of Art and the works of Nature, (among which f reckon 

 the Brute *[")» that the principle of movement in the one is from 

 without, w^hereas the principle of movement in the other is from 

 within. Man, being an animal as well as the Brute, fo far refembles 

 the Brute, that his principle of movement is alfo from within ; but 

 that principle in him is directed by Intelligence, which is alfo within 

 him, and is his own ; whereas the Brute is directed by Intelligence 

 from without, which has fo formed his principle of movement, that 

 it ads by Intelligence, though without Intelligence, according to 

 a diftinction I have made in another place J. Now, w^e may con-
