But if t

"But if the discovery of these first principles of the
"law of nature depended only upon the due exertion of
"right reason, and could not otherwise be attained than
"by a chain of metaphysical disquisitions, mankind
"would have wanted some inducement to have quietened
"their enquiries, and the greater part of the world
"would have rested constant in mental indolence,
"and ignorance its inseparable companion. As
"therefore the creator is a being, not only of infinite
"power and wisdom, but also of infinite
"goodness, he has been pleased so to
"constitution and frame of humanity, that we
"should want no other prompter to enquire after
"and pursue the rule of right, but only our
"own self-love, that universal principle of
"action. For he has so intimately connected, so
"inseparably interwoven the laws of eternal justice
