Had it not been a thing Undeniable that the Will of Man is free, and had not Epicurus, and his Follower Lucretius, very well known that it was a thing which every one could not but experience in Himself, he had certainly, as a very Learned Person observes (Dr. Lucas Enquiry after Happiness, Vol. I. p. 156, 157.) followed his Old Master Democritus, and asserted the Mind of Man to be as necessarily and fatally moved by the strokes of his Atoms, as Natural and Irrational Bodies are. But this Opinion he was forced to desert, and to assert the Liberty of the Soul of Man; and 'twas to make this out according to his Senseless Hypothesis, that he Invented that Unaccountable Oblique Motion of his Atoms; which Lucretius calls Exiguum Clinamen Principiorum.
