For instance, it is indeed a very great evidence of an artist it can make a wheel of a watch, or the spring, or the lance; but the destination of the spring to the string, and string to the fusee, &c. is so great an evidence of an ellectual being, that works by intention, by election, by ign, and appropriation, that nothing can be opposed inst it.-Hale.

The parable (Prov. xxix.)

Id. On Learning, by G. Wats, b. viii. c. 2.

I received your answer to the futilous pamphlet, with your desire of my opinion touching it.-Howell, b. ii. Let. 48.

Mankind hath an appetite of posthumous memory, which would be senseless, and to no purpose if there be no life but this now God implants no instincts in his creatures that are futilous and in vain; and therefore hence also we may conclude, that there is a future being.-Glanvill, Ser. 6.

He was prepared to shew the madness of their declaration of the pretended rights of man, the childish futility of some of their maxims; the gross and stupid absurdity, and the palpable falsity of others. Burke. Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs.

Waterland. Works, vol. i. pt. ii. p. 160.

Is it imaginable, that the great means of the world's redemption, should rest only in the number of possibilities, and hang so loose in respect to its futurition, as to leave the event in an equal poise, whether ever there should be such a thing or no.-South, vol. i. Ser. 8.

This seems to me to be the great art of Divine Providence, so to adjust the two worlds, human and natural, material and intellectual, as seeing through the possibilities and futuritions of each, according to the first state and circumstances he puts them under, they should all along correspond and fit one another, and especially in their great crises and periods. Burnet. Sacred Theory of the Earth, b. i. c. 8.

And thou, O sacred maid! inspir'd to see

Th' event of things in dark futurity,

Give me, what Heaven has promised to my fate,
To conquer and command the Latian State :

To fix my wandering Gods, and find a place
For the long exiles of the Trojan race.

Dryden. Virgil. Æneis, b. vi.

Gentlemen who are, with me, verging towards the decline of life, and are apt to form their ideas of kings from kings of former times, might dread the anger of a reigning prince; they who are more provident of the future, or by being young are more interested in it, might tremble at the resentment of the successor: they might see a long, dull, dreary, unvaried visto of despair and exclusion, for half a century before them.-Burke. On the Economical Reform.

So when remote futurity is brought
Before the keen inquiry of her thought,
A terrible sagacity informs

The Poet's heart; he looks to distant storms;
He hears the thunder ere the tempest low'rs;
And arm'd with strength surpassing human pow'rs,
Seizes events as yet unknown to man,
And darts his soul into the dawning plan.

FUZZ. Fuzzy. FUZZ-BALL.
