consequently an increase of happiness I!
The consciousness of such Being
spreads perpetual diffusion of Joy
through the soul of a virtuous man, and
makes him look upon himself every mo.
mcnt as more happy than he knows how
to conceive. The second source Of
choerfulness to good mind is, its con.
sideration Of that Being on whom we
have our dependence, and in whom,
though we behold him as yet but in the
first faint discoveries of his perfections,
we see every thing that we can imagine
as great, glorious or amiable. We find
ourselves everywhere upheld by his
goodness, and surrounded with an i'm.
mensity of love and mercy. In short, we
depend upon Being, whose power quail.
