117 beyond the compass of this present world. There seems, indeed, nothing from whence we can so much as make a conjecture, whether all creatures, actions and events, through- out the whole of Nature, have relations to each other. But as it is obvious that all events have future unknown con- sequences, so, if we trace any, as far as we can go, into what is connected with it, we shall find that if such event were not connected with somewhat farther in Nature un- known to us, somewhat both past a...nd present, such event could not, possibly have been at all. Nor can we give the whole account of any one thing whatever ; of all its causes, ends, and necessary adjuncts : those adjuncts, I mean, with- out which it could not ha.ve been. By this most astonishing connection, these reciprocal correspondences and mutual relations, everything which we see in the course of Nature is actually brought about. And things seemingly the most insignificant imaginable, are perpetually observed to be necessary conditions to other things of the greatest import- ance; so that any one thing whatever may, for aught we know to the contrary, be a necessary condition to any other.
