THE
WANDERER.
BOOK IX.
CHAPTER LXXVII.
The final purposes for which man is ordained to move in this nether sphere, will for ever remain disputable, while the doubts to which it gives rise can be answered only by fellow-doubters: but that the basis of his social comfort is confidence, is an axiom that waits no revelation, requires no logic, and dispenses with mathematical accuracy for proof: it is an axiom that comes home, straight forward and intuitively, to our "business and bosoms;"—there, with life, to lodge.
- VOL. V.
