Excerpt from Serious Enquiries: Or Important Questions Relative to This World and That Which Is to Come

Imans is distinguished in the scale of ex istence as a rational creature hence, a desire of knowledge is natural to him. He possesses a principle of curiosity which in¿uences him to make perpetual enquiries, as to the nature and tendency of the various obj ects Whieh pass in succession before him. It is to be lament ed, however, that while he is anxious to as certain the causes and effects of sublunary events, he is too unmindful of his bestiinte 'rcst. Fascinated by the appearance of vio'rldly scenes, and hurried on by the foreeof sensual appetites, he forgets that he is an accountable, 'eu-immortal being; and will not stop to con sider things as they really are. Though rea son and conscience, providence and revelation, are monitors which remind him 0? His duty yethe will not listen to their dictates, but too Often prefers the present gratification of his senses, to his future welfare and happiness.
