But then turning their enquiries to the SUMMUM BONUM, or what conftitutes O 2 the the higheft happinefs of this life ; endeavoured to find out SOME PRINCI-T PLE, which would make VIRTUE, ancj the SUMMUM BONUM tO be ONE. Some, as the STOICS, maintained that VIRTUE, was indifputably the SUI^MUM BONUM, becaufe, the WISE and VIRTU^ ous MAN, was incapable of ALL SUFFER- ING; as even PAIN, was to HIM, NO i v i L. For as H E, according to their maxims, mufl, before he was entitled to thofe appellation...s, have learned to DE- SIRE nothing, but what HAPPENS to him; therefore it followed, that no condition, nor event, could befall him, but, what HE approved. A doftrine evidently true indeed, upon the PRINCIPLES of CHRIS- TIANITY; where, pain is really no evil; becaufe it is neceflary to lead man to feek, as the firft objefcl of his purfuit, his FUTURE FELICITY. From whence it follows, as a corollary, that no event, can poffibly poffibly happen to the real CHRISTIAN/ which will not conduce to his good, if we take into our view, the whole extent of his being.
