Now the in- stances already adduced, are surely enough to show, that if there be such a system or general plan, it is favorable to virtue, and was designed to encourage men in right conduct. All that can be urged on the other side amounts to a gleaning of discon- nected facts, in regard to which, it may be difficult to see that the law of equity, of righteous retribution, has been observed ; it is not pretended that these facts are numerous or grave enough to afford a presumption, either that t...he government is favorable to vice, or else that there is no government at all, — pleasure and pain, prosperity and adversity, being allotted at random. Thus much is admitted on all hands ; — that the virtuous man is prosperous is the rule ; that the vicious sometimes succeed, is the exception. We have a right, then, to appeal to our ignorance and shortsightedness, to our limited means of observation, in or- der to explain aivay even these few exceptions. We cannot trace all the consequences of another's act ; those which are near may be injurious, those wliich are remote may be beneficial, and far more numerous and important.
