I see not a single author of antiquity who has a con- Dictionary. 193 sistent, methodical, clear system, going from con- sequence to consequence. All that I have been able to obtain by comparing and combining the systems of Plato, of the tutor of Alexander, Pythagoras, and the Orientals, is this : Chance is a word void of sense ; nothing can exist without a cause. The world is arranged according to mathematical laws; therefore, it is arranged by an intelligence. It is not an intelligent being l...ike myself who pre- sided at the formation of the world; for I cannot form a miserable worm ; therefore, the world is the work of an intelligence prodigiously superior. Does this being, who possesses intelligence and power in so high a degree, necessarily exist? It must be so, for he must either have received being from another, or through his own nature. If he has received his being from another, which is very difficult to con- ceive, I must look up to this other, which will in that case be the first cause.
