Worry whether a RECESSION is coming or not! We advance, rather than retard our existence; and following what seems the natural succession of time, proceed from past to present, and from present to future. But it is evident that, by this idea of a supreme author of all, which I place as the foundation of all inquiries into nature, I do not mean to assert the existence of such a being, or that I have any knowledge of its existence; and, consequently, I do not really deduce anything from the existence of this being, but merely from its idea, that is to say, from the nature of things in this world, in accordance with this idea. And thus, though every impression and idea we remember be considered as existent, the idea of existence is not derived from any particular impression.
