    expect to be exhibited within the usual course of nature , are such analogies as are at once compati- * ble with its necessary uniformity , and adapted to confirm our faith , both in the divine attributes in

    to furnish the means of support , preservation , health , and enjoyment to life in general , are so many evidences , that these are the great ends of those dispensations , which at first sight appear most

    Christian doctrine of a resurrection of the human race at the last day .
