defcribe the inflrumcnts of torture or excctition, this 

 engine, you would fay, is to extend the finews ; this to 

 diflocate the joints ; tliis to break the bones ; this to fcorch 

 the foles of the feet. Here pain and mifery are the very 

 objects of the contrivance. Now, nothing of this fort is to 

 be found in the works of nature. We never difcovcr a train 

 of contrivance to bring about an evil purpofe. No anatomill 

 ever difcovered a fydem of organization, calculated to pro- 

 duce pain and difeafe ; or in explaining the parts of the 

 human body, ever faid, this is to irritate ; this to inflame ; 

 this duft is to convey the gravel to the kidnies ; this gland 

 to fecrete the humour which forms the gout ; if by cliance 

 he come at a part of which he knows not tlie ufe, the moit 

 he can fay is, that it is ufelefs ; no one ever fufpefts that it 

 is put there to incommode, to annoy, or to torment." 



Our author's ftcond propofition is, "that the Deity has 

 added ^/ifa/u;v to animal fenfalions, beyond what was necef- 

 fary for any other purpofe, or when the purpofe, fo far as it 

 was neceflary, might have boen effected by the operation of 

 pain." There is a clafs of properties, pertaining to animals, 

 which may be faid to be fuperadded from an intention ex- 

 prefsly directed to happinefs ; an intention to give a happy 

 exiftence dillinftfrom the general intention of providing the 

 means cf exiflence, with which other capacities are con- 

 licAed ; and that is, of capacities for pleafure, in cafes, 

 wherein, fo far as the confcrvation of tlie individual, or of 

 the fpecies, is concerned, they were not wanted, or wheiein 

 tlie purpofe might have been fecured by the operation of 

 pain. The provifion which is made of a variety of objects, 

 .not neceffary to life, and admuiillering only to our pleafiires ; 

 and the properties given to the neceffaries of life themfelves, by 

 which they contribute to pleafure as well as to prefervation ; 

 fhew a farther defign than that of giving exiftence. Tiiis 

 obfervation is iliuilrated bv our ingenious author in a variety 

 of familiar inftances, deduced from the ienfes of talte, 

 hearing, fmell, and light. The fenfes appear to be fpecific 

 gift^>, . minillering not only to prefervation, but to plealurc. 

 But the fenfes, as they are ufually called, are far from being 

 the only vehicle of enjoyment, or the whole of our conllittition, 

 which is calculated for the purpofe. We have many internal 

 fcnfations of the moft agreeable kind, hardly referable to any 

 of the five fenfes. Befides thefe there are exercifes of the 

 undcrftanding in volition, S:c. of the imagination, and of 

 other faculties of the mind, which furniih unmixed gratifica- 

 tions, without any counterbalancing pains. Whillt the 

 above-ftated propofitions can be maintained, we are autho- 

 rized to afcribe to the Deity the character of benevolence ; 

 and what is benevolence at all, mull in him be infinite bcne- 

 ■\()lence, by reafon of the infinite, that is to fay, the incalcu- 

 lably great, number of objefts, upon which it is exercif.-d. 

 But befides the evidences of divine goodnefs that are fur- 

 nifhed by a furvey of the creation of the world, and cfpecially 

 of mankind ; the fame attribute is evinced in the providential 

 government of the univerfe, and in the extraordinary means 

 which the Deity has felefted and purfued for meliorating the 

 prefent condition of the human race, for recovering man- 

 kind from the degeneracy and mifery that have prcval 'd in 

 ■-onfequence of their own folly and vice, and tor conducting 

 them to the perfeftion of knowlcdgerand virtue, and a happy 

 immortality in a future world. 



The charaftcr and undertaking of Jefus Chrill, and all 

 the benefits that refult to mankind from his miffion and me- 

 diation, refledl peculiar lullro on the benevolence of the 

 Deity.
