12.  “A series of finite causes cannot possibly be carried back
    ad infinitum.”

    13.  “Our imagination revolts at the idea of an intellectual soul of
    the universe, that is, of an intelligence resulting from
    arrangement.”

14.  “The actual existence of the universe compels us to come at last to an originally existent and intellectual Being, because if the immediate maker of the universe has not existed from all eternity, he must have derived his being and senses from one who has, and that being we call God.”

    15.  “God must be present to all his works, if we admit no power can
    act but where it is, he must therefore exist every where, because
    his works are every where.”

16.  “As no being can unmake or materially change himself (at least none can annihilate himself) so God is unchangeable, for no Being God made can change him and no other Being can exist but what God made.”

    17.  “Two infinite intelligent beings of the same kind would
    coincide, therefore there can only be one God.”

    18.  “Nothing can be more evident, than that plants and animals could

19.  “That happiness is the design of the creation because health is designed and sickness is only an exception, not a general rule is as evident as that the design of the Mill-wright must have been, that his machine should not be obstructed.”

20.  “As a state of sickness is comparatively rare with a state of health, happiness the result of health, and the end of the creation happiness, so the end of the creation is already in a great measure answered.”

    21.  “Pleasure tends to continue and propagate itself, pain to check
    and exterminate itself.”

    22.  “As our knowledge and power in respect to shunning pains and

    to enable us to exterminate all pains, but a continuance of being.

    23.  “Our enjoyments continually increase in real value from infancy
    to old age.”

    24.  “A future moral distribution is probable, because God is
    infinitely powerful and wise.”

    25.  “Since reverence, gratitude, obedience, confidence are duties to
    men, so they are to God; and as we pray to men, so we should pray to

    26.  “Prescience, predetermination and infinite benevolence are no
