Part II. in the Cv.e a t i o n. 239 



Should I fee a Man throw the fame Number a 

 thoufand times together upon but three Dice, 

 could you perfuade me that this were accidental, 

 and that there was no neceflary Caufe of it ? 

 How much more incredible then is it, that Con- 

 ftancy in fuch a Variety, fuch a Multiplicity of 

 Parts, fhould be the Refult of Chance ? Neither 

 yet can thefe Works be the Effefts of Neceffity 

 or pafe, for then there would be the fame Con- 

 ftancy obferv'd in the fmaller as well as the larger 

 Parts and Veflels ; whereas there we fee Nature 

 doth ludere^ as it were fport it felf, the minute 

 Ramifications of all the VeiTels, Veins, Arteries, 

 and Nerves , infinitely varying in Individuals of 

 the fame Species, fo that they are not in any two 

 alike. 



VII. The great Wifdom of the divine Creator 

 appears, in that there is Pleafure annexed to thofe 

 Adlions that are neceflfary for the Support and 

 Prefervation of the Individuum ^ and the Conti- 

 nuation and Propagation of the Species j and not 

 only fo, but Pain to the Ncgledt or Forbearance 

 of them. For the Support of the Perfon, it hath 

 annexed Pleafure to eating and drinking, which 

 elfe, out of Lazinefs or Multiplicity of Bufinefs, 

 a Man would be apt to neglccl, or fometimes 

 forget; indeed to be oblig'd to chew and fwallow 

 Meat daily for two Hours Space, and to find no 

 Relifh or Pleafure in it, would be one of the 

 moft burdenfom and ungrateful Talks of a Man's 

 whole Life ,; but becaufc this Adion is abfolutely 



neceflary.
