And accordingly we find, (for here Scripture comes in again for our Learning) that God dealt with the Jewijh People under this Idea. And though his particular Contratf - with them will not fuffer us to collecl:, from that Adminiftration, a limilar Mode of Providence C 2 over [zo] over others ; yet his entering at all into Con- traft, (hews that States are confidered, and will be dealt with by him as moral A, gents. We muft needs therefore conclude, both from Revelation and Reafon, that the Hand... of Heaven diftributes Good and Evil to Societies, according to their moral Merit or Demerit. Not upon that Fancy, that as States are only artificial Beings with a pre- fent Exifience, and incapable of a future^ that therefore God is obliged in Juftice to punim and reward them here. This is a mere School Invention, and confuted by the general Hiftory of the moral World; in which we find many fignal Examples of the divine Vengeance . Amongft States and Communities j yet, generally, at fuch a Diftance from the Crime, that a new Suc^ cefflon feels the Pain of their PredeceiTors Tranfgreffion.
