To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many men and animals do no more than shew themselves upon the earth, and sud- denly disappear. Others are born deformed and pionstrons, or become impotent. How many fa- culties and talents are lost, for want of an oppor- tunity to make use of them! IIow many good projects and useful undertakings fail, before they arrive at maturity ! Could all this be, if a Being infinitely wise governed this world ?— Whoever dare question God and his providence, have they, then, a sufficient knowledge of all t...hings, and their connection with each other, to be able to «ay, with certainty, This answers no purpose; this is absolutely useless. Let us never forget ' howweak and limited our understandings are. Our duty is to keep a respectful silence ; to adore, and not to criticise, the works of the Lord, who has given so many proofs of his wisdom, in an infinite number of things, the use of which are well known to us. Let ns also consider that a thing may be nStfnl in different ways; but that, while it serves one purpose, it cannot, at the same time, serve another.
