Mr. WoUafron never intimates that thefe fu- perior beings can controul the laws of nature, nor doth he fay that they ever " aft in oppo- " fition to God's general providence. " On the contrary, he thus delivers his opinion : " As *' we ourfelves, by the ufe of our powers, do " many times interpole and alter the courfe *' of things within our fphere from what it ** would be, if they were left entirely to the *' laws of motion and gravitation, widiout ** being faid to alter thofe laij^s \ fo may ...thefe *' Juperior beings likewife in refpeft of things " v/ithin their fpheres, much larger be fure, ** the leaft of them all, than ours is : only with " this difference, that as their knowledge is " more excenfive, their intellefts purer, their *' reafon better, they may be much properer *' inftruments of Divine Providence with re- " fpedt to us, than we can be with refped one T On Mir. p. 97.
