We may begin with considering a-new the nature and force of sympathy.

 It is a quality of human nature, which is conspicuous on many occasions, and is common both to the mind and body, that too sudden and violent a change is unpleasant to us, and that however any objects may in themselves be indifferent, yet their alteration gives uneasiness. which has so successfully explained the identity of plants, and animals, and ships, and houses, and of all the compounded and changeable productions either of art or nature. Human nature is very subject to errors of this kind; and perhaps this nation as much as any other. This therefore is the nature of the judgment and probability. 
It is very remarkable, although naturally it could not have been otherwise, that, in the infancy of philosophy, the study of the nature of God and the constitution of a future world formed the commencement, rather than the conclusion, as we should have it, of the speculative efforts of the human mind.
 
Twill therefore be proper, before we leave this subject, to bestow a few reflections on that passion, and shew its origin in human nature.
