EPISTLE THE THIRD

Hebe then we rest; the Universal Cause Acte to one end, but acte by varions laws.

In ail the madness of superfluous health, The trim of pride, the impudence of wealth, Let thia great trnth be présent uight and day ; But roost be présent, if we preach or pray.

Look round our world; behold the chain of love Coiabining ail below and ail above.

See plastic nature working to this ond, The single atoms each to other tend, Attract, attracted to, the next in place Form'd and impell'd its neighbonr to cmbrace. See matter next, with varions life eudued, Press to one centre still, the gênerai good.

See dying vegetables life sustain, See life dissolving vegetate again :

Ail forms that perish other fonns supply / (By turns we catch the vital breath, and/oie),
