NOTE [b]

These our Author assures with sagacious discrimination

[b]
"Not left to chance," but "guided by unerring rules:"
[which rule we are to understand are Laws.] So
our Author assures us with sagacious discrimination.
I doubt however he would be a little puzzled
if he were he called upon to explain to us clearly what
it is he means by "chance", and what by these "unerring
rules" that are opposed to it. By "chance", I
take it, what we mean is, the nominal cause of
an effect an appearance, the real cause of which we do not
imagine ourselves to perceive; and between in the manner
of producing which, and the we see not any analogy
to the manner in which any other appearance is produced.
Now Were we to stop at the first part of this
definition I must confess I would as soon speak of mention
chance for the cause of these appearances of Law in question, as
our Author's "unerring rules"; especially if usher'd to
us under the imposing title of Laws. As to these
"rules", and the energetic epithet "unerring" here bestow'd
on them, what to make of it I know not: whether
our Author really means, as he says, unerring, or whether he
does not mean unerred from. If unerring, what
one can not help help curious to know is, what it
is they should these rules would err from if they were to err. If unerr'd
from of indeed it is an epithet which we may very well be satisfied
from, indeed we may make sure of. These rules
of the truth of. These rules
