The First Care In Building Of Cities,

O Truth Divine! Enlightened By Thy Ray, I Grope And Guess No More, But See My Way.

I Believe The Calculation Of The Quantity Of Probability Might Be Improved To A Very Useful And Pleasant Speculation, And Applied To A Great Many Events Which Are Accidental, Besides Those Of Games; Only These Cases Would Be Infinitely More Confused, As Depending On Chances Which The Most Part Of Men Are Ignorant Of.

Among The Innumerable Footsteps Of Divine Providence To Be Found In The Works Of Nature, There Is A Very Remarkable One To Be Observed In The Exact Balance That Is Maintained, Between The Numbers Of Men And Women; For By This Means It Is Provided, That The Species May Never Fail, Nor Perish, Since Every Male May Have Its Female, And Of A Proportionable Age.

Almighty Power, By Whose Most Wise Command, Helpless, Forlorn, Uncertain, Here I Stand, Take This Faint Glimmer Of Thyself Away, Or Break Into My Soul With Perfect Day!

Law Is A Bottomless Pit.
