welk een raadselachtig wezen is de mensch, en door welke bedekte springveren komen zijne hartstogten in werking?

English

how strange a chequer-work of providence is the life of man! and by what secret different springs are the affections hurried about, as different circumstances present!

er bestaan in onze hartstogten zekere drijfveren, die zoo zij door eenig zigtbaar voorwerp of door de werking van onze verbeelding gaande gemaakt worden, onze ziel zoo krachtig daarheen doen neigen, dat deszelfs gemis ondragelijk wordt.

English

there are some secret springs in the affections which, when they are set a-going by some object in view, or, though not in view, yet rendered present to the mind by the power of imagination, that motion carries out the soul, by its impetuosity, to such violent, eager embracings of the object, that the absence of it is insupportable.

dit deed mij dikwijls overdenken, dat hoezeer het god in zijne wijsheid behaagd heeft, een groot deel zijner schepselen op deze aarde te versteken van de beste oefeningen, waartoe hunne geestvermogens vatbaar zijn, hij hun toch dezelfde vermogens geschonken heeft, dezelfde rede, dezelfde neigingen; hetzelfde gevoel van dankbaarheid en verpligting, dezelfde hartstogten en gevoel van verongelijkingen, hetzelfde besef van opregtheid en trouw, en alles wat hun in staat stelt goed te doen, en weldaden te ontvangen, zoo wel als ons. als de gelegenheid zich er toe aanbiedt, zijn zij even bereid, ja bereidvaardiger dan wij, om deze ten beste aan te wenden.

English

this frequently gave me occasion to observe, and that with wonder, that however it had pleased god in his providence, and in the government of the works of his hands, to take from so great a part of the world of his creatures the best uses to which their faculties and the powers of their souls are adapted, yet that he has bestowed upon them the same powers, the same reason, the same affections, the same sentiments of kindness and obligation, the same passions and resentments of wrongs, the same sense of gratitude, sincerity, fidelity, and all the capacities of doing good and receiving good that he has given to us; and that when he pleases to offer them occasions of exerting these, they are as ready, nay, more ready, to apply them to the right uses for which they were bestowed than we are.
