Excerpt from Reflexions on Man, and His Relation to Other Beings: Design'd to Promote Virtue and Contentment, Occasion'd by Some Late Discourses
Whatever pains people take to lay thinking afide as an unprofitable faculty, the mind of man is fo aftive a principle, that it can ve1y ba1dly be refirained from exerting itfelf in fome improvement or other. To this natural aétivity we owe fo many valuable difcoveries for the good of mankind, fo many profound endeavours to explain what the author of nature made uncomprehenfible, and, when men are out of humour with themfelv'es and the pub lick, fo many dilobliging paradoxes con cerning religion and politicks.
