and we were to go into an eternal silence and oblivion? What would a Stone be the better for being accounted one of the Ancient Pillars of Seth? or a piece of wood in beeing esteemed a Sacred Relique of the Cross? The summ is, Mankind hath an appetite of posthumous Memory, which would be senseless, and to no purpose if there be no Life but this: Now God implants no Instincts in his creatures that are futilous and in vain; and therefore hence also we may conclude, that there is a Future Being. |
