Many of thern have bodies much stronger, and more crvmpact than die human species. Most of ttrem, at their ftf t ^nuance into the world, are capable of using all their limb*, of seeking for their food, and of fallowing* the instinct imparted to them bv nature ; nor liable to tjje cruel sufferings we ex perience in our infancy, and which so often injure our constitution And what an admirable instinct and saga* icy they * display ! what ad dress and .skill they exert in the use of their senses ! how exquidcc their sense of sme 1 1 how piercins; i their sight ! how rapid, how nimble, how active in all their movements ! how they speed and fiy along ! and if we consider the wonderful struc ture of some of their organ?, t hi? % ? o noble and ma'estic figure ot some o o animah, we shall find with respect to bodily perfections we often yield ^ | to, or scarcely equal many of "the brute creation. c< Some people are so weak, as to complain that God ha- not rnven ' i them the wings 0f f e eagle, the force and speed of the fiery cour tier the subtle smell of the c'.o^s the eye of a hawk, and the agility of the ^tag. Due such desires are the offspring of ignorance, of folly and presumption, of men who do not feel that they possess a soul, which enables them to soar far above those animals, and vs make all their pow ers serve the convenience of man. " Why has tie Creator given to irrational creatures prerogatives^ ' | which a^e peculiar to their bodies ? | Why has he endowed them*" Vvuhsf* much strength, with Ufch exquisite senses, and with so much agility 1 and address in their different mo tions ? why has he endued them with such wonderful instincts, & giv. en them so much sagacHy in procu ring their nourishment ? it can on - ly be as ;i recompense to them bi stead i f reiisofty and mother human i faculties, which they want, and with | which we arc favored. By the use of our understanding* wc c:'.n pre ! serve ourselves from many jnala diesj ar.d guard again t many dan-, i gcrs ; we may, by observing a pro I per regimen, or by having recourse to medicine, cure the sickness and infirmities of our bodies, or at least relieve them. Iiv our intellectual faculties we may procure and enjoy j a multitude of conveniences : int'r- ] course with others, together with social life, contribute, in athotfsind ways, to our wdl being. Brutes are deprived of ill these advantage , merely because they nave not re ceived the inestimable gift of rea son. ? These inferior creatures ? i would have been too unhappy, had \ not the Creator granted them some J recompfcnce for that intelligence of which they are deprived. On this account, he has been in some sort more liberal towaids us,. in the dis tribution of certain corporeal ad vantages, He has given tliem a CQmtruciJpn, form and sense*/ ap propriate to their different wintt. He has gktff thcru a ariety of ? instincts, iodustry, and an admirable I Mgtcity, by *hich they can distip raSm jfrliat is salutary from what -is : J noxious, defend rhernselves, pro curt ih^ir own nouKshrfient, and provide (or their various neces sities ; advantages, which wc have , not in the s^me degree, and with which we may very well dr*p*li?cy ?eeingwehave received privileges I of . incomparably greater conse quence.
