Elustrations

OF THE

DIVINE GOVERNMENT.

BY

T. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, M. D.

The Third Edition.

Beholding in the sacred light
Of his essential reason all the shapes
Of swift contingence, all successive ties
Of action propagated through the sum
Of possible existence, he at once
Down the long series of eventful time
So fix'd the dates of being, so dispos'd
To every living soul of every kind,
The field of motion and the hour of rest,
That all conspir'd to his supreme design,
TO UNIVERSAL GOOD!
