reasons to the contrary, 277-279. Objections considered, 277, 278. That the moon is inhabited is not more incredible than that the ocean should be inhabited, 280. A description of the isle Ogygia, in the Western Ocean, the abode of Saturn; its inhabitants; the phenomena and customs of the place, 281-283. Man is compounded of three parts: the body, the soul, and the understanding, 286. The understanding is from the sun, the soul from the moon, that is from Proserpine, 286. Every soul, dismissed from the body, wanders for a time between the earth and the moon, 286. When they reach the moon, they behold its greatness and beauty, 288. The moon described as it appears to them, 289. The Elysian fields are there, 289. If any of the dwellers there commit a fault, they are thrust down to earth again, 289. After a long time, they come back to the moon, 291. This about the moon may be taken for what one pleases, 292. OF FATE. BY THE SAME HAND. Fate is either (1) an energy, a law, an act, 293; or (2) a substance, the soul of the world, 294. Though comprehending infinite, it is itself finite, for law is in its nature finite, 294, 295. Every thing moves in a circle; all beings and all actions that now exist will come around again: we shall again do what we are now doing, and in the same manner, 295. Fate, the Divine Law, the Law of Nature, determines all things, 296. It determines both conditionally and universally, 297. What relation has Fate to Divine Providence? what to fortune? what to human ability? what to contingent events? 298. As the civil law comprehends and relates to many things which are not lawful, so it is with Fate, 298. The words _possible_ and _contingent_ defined; also _power_, _necessity_, &c., 299, 300. Of causes: some are causes _per se_, others are causes by accident, 301. Fortune is a cause by accident, 302. Fortune is not the same thing as Chance, though Chance comprehends Fortune, 303. Fortune relates to men only; Chance includes things animate and inanimate, 303. Of Divine Providence: (1) the will of the Supreme Deity; (2) the will of the subordinate deities; (3) the will of the Daemons, 304. Of the Providence of the Supreme God, 305. Of the Providence of the inferior gods, 306. Of the Providence of the Daemons, 307, 308. CONCERNING THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF COLD. BY F. FETHERSTON, D.D.
