Their OF conomy, &c. 41 
gouft be an Order in the Management of 
their Temptations, without which their ma- 
licious and evil Defigns would (at leaft in 
part) mifcarry and prove abortive. 
And why may we not admitthe Suppofitions 
of fome Writers as true, who report it as moft 
probable, that the infernal Spirits fhare the 
World among them; feveral Countries and 
Kingdoms being allotted them, as their proper 
and peculiar Charge and Jurifdiction: And that . 
Paflage in Daziel’s Prophecy feems to favour 
this Opinion: * The Prince of the Kingdom 
of Perfia, withftood me One and twenty Days, 
‘aoe. the thie Weeks he had been fafting 
and praying. 
But to leave the invifible World of Spi- 
rits, fo much above our Reach and the Bounds 
of our Commerce; do we not in like Man- 
ner obferve Affociations, Affiftants, Helps, 
and Governments among Mankind? It ts 
without Controverfy that Man is a political 
Creature, -F and cannot live fingly and alone. — 
Tho’ Adam in Paradife had the World of 
Brutes about him, the Birds of the Air fing- 
ing among the Branches, &c. yet he wanted 
an agreeable Companion to compleat his 
Happinels. Jt zs mot good for Man to be 
alone. { And what God bid of the firft Man, 
Rien fays of all Men, that two is better 
than one, and woe unto him that is alone. §
