How deeply rooted in the human frame are those important principles, which interest the good man in the prosperity of the world ; and more especially in the prosperity of that beloved community to which he belongs ! How small, at the same time, is the number of individuals who, accustomed to con- template one modification alone of the social order, are able to distinguish the circumstances which are essential to human happiness, from those which are 36* ELEMENTS OF THE PHILOSOPHY Chap. V.

It is on these accounts that a superstitions zeal against innovation, both in religion and politics, where it is evidently grafted on piety to God, and good-will to mankind, however it may excite the sorrow of the more en- lightened philosopher, is justly entitled, not only to his indulgence, but to his esteem and affection.
