In summ, Antiquity owes all it's Heathen Gods and Divinities to the fruitful Industry of Scholars, the Admiring World of old deified their Discoveries, Built Temples and Raised Altars to the happy products of Science; and thô Theseus, Minos, and Romulus, who were Founders of Empires and Fathers of their Country, cou'd only arrive to the Inferior Honour of Heroes and Demigods: yet Ceres and Bacchus, Mercury and Apollo, who invented Ʋseful Arts and Sciences, and obliged the World with more lasting and advantageous Benefits, were Worship'd with the highest degree of Adoration and ranked among the Dij majorum Gentium. And doubtless the Discoveries of the latter bringing perpetual Profit and Advantage with them, being gentle and easy; like the still small voice, had more evident Characters of a Divine Presence and Efficacy then all the boisterous noisie transient Benefits of the former. |
