He needed an education. But such characters find for themselves an educa- tion. Could Swedenborg have possibly been a murderer or a villain ? Could Washington, How- ard, Melancthon, Fenelon, and a host of others, have possibly been among the ruflians and outcasts of humanity, after the splendid endowments o...f their first birth? My answer is, that the Provi- dence which required the peculiar mission of these men, required a definite, original organism at birth, as well as education and training after- wards. I know not what certain nice metaphysi- cal casuists may say against this presentation, but I say, after making all allowances for a certain, un- mistakable, practical freedom of the will, I am compelled to recognize a Destiny among men — a destiny in every thing. There is not a sparrow that falls to the ground, not a single motion of the obscurest human mind, not a particle of flying dust, not the least step, or movement, or exertion of any kind put forth, but is just as much under law and sovereign destiny, as the rolling of the planets, or the rising and falling of the tides.
