REPOSITORY FOR HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS

CALCULATED TO PROMOTE

THE

COMFORT AND HAPPINESS OF MAN.

......dicam nunc quid homini tribuendum sit: quanquam id ipsum quod homini tri bueris, Deo tribuitur......

Deus, qui cæteris animalibus sapientiam non dedit, naturalibus ea munimentis ab incursu et periculo tutiora generavit. Hominem vero quia nudum fragilemque formavit, ut eum sapientia potius instrueret, dedit ei præter cætera hunc pietatis affectum, ut homo hominem tueatur, diligat, foveat, contraque omnia pericula et accipiat et præstat auxilium. Lactantius, vi. 10.
