ANKIND in all'Ages have difcover'd to be admitted to the Knowledge of the Seérets of Futurity ; ‘of being wife 3 Bl sbove what is"written. ~ From this Ia- clination arifs many, perhaps ‘the greater Part of the Bvils'of Life : Andit is the Pert of a wife Manto pal- Titate as much as poffible real Evils, and to obtrude all $maginery ones ; leit being intent on the” Profpeét” of futuge Calamity he negletts the prefent Opportunity of doing Good, which is the only Time he muy cali his own. Misforcunes see fhocking in themfelves. There is no terrefirial Esjoyment fo unfullied, and free from the Mixtures of ‘Evil ; thet we need to form new Avenues of Pain; or magnify fature Evil by Anticips- tions more; tefrible than the Evils themlelves. There is fearcely any Circumftanees of Life, that a wife Man ought (6 miich toprize, xs his Ignorance of future Con- _ tingencies, and Nothing is: more cflential to his: Hap- pinefs, or conducive to his Peace: To prave this we reed only view the State of thofe, who expeft certain Puanithment for the Commiflion of any known Crime. Even the Knowledge of the happy Periods of our Lives would not conduce to increafe our Felicity : For whatever Good we hope for, we muft esrneitly defire the Prefence of, and to defire esrneftly implics, thet we are unealy and difcontented without it. There is a Story, which I have often heard of Iate, and which is a grofs Miftake in Poiot of Fa&, and may be sttended with pernicious Confequences. It is this, that Sir Zfasc Negoton conjectus’d a remsrkable Droughs was to happen this Year, fuch as had never been known; and a Sicknels that would [weep off great and usheerd of Mulituades of the Inhabitants of the World. Expe- yienice his in fome Meafure evinced the Falfity of chis CopjeQare, Tappoling it form’d by Sir Yfaar Newson : hut 5t is ablolutely falfe that he ‘ever formed fuch a Predittion, I have all his Writings both Philefophical and Chro- nological, and have perofed them with firit Attention ; but 1 can find no Manner of Foundation for any fuch Surmile ; neither is there the leaft Hint given thro’ the Courfe of the whole,from whence fo tragical aBRumour could take its Rifle. If the Prophecy was true as to its fuppofed Author, end its Accomplifhment demonfirably certain ; it would be anrezfonable to difclofe itto the World, as it would ferveno good Ead. I do not objedt to the Ulefainels of Propaccy in general. The Prophecies of the an- tient Sages related to fuch Calamities as national Wick- ednefs or Difcbedience had incurred, and which the Prattice of Viriue . woujd obviate or remove : But of what Service will it be to us to know the malign State of the Biements, fince neithier Prudence nor Forefight, por Virtue can change them, withaut the Sufpenfion of she Laws of Nature....cc..e... v Such Preditions on the contrary, have a Tendency to fill the Minds of People with [uperftitious Appre- henfions and imaginary Pain.: they difcourage the Sick and Melancholly ; and as undoubiedly they will finally prove frife, will bring Learning into Dilrepute : and ufefu] Knowledge will fuffir by the Events of aftrolo- gical Predi&tions. ’Tis Pity any Perfon fhould have Bufinels enough to invent [o milchicvous a Fable ; rouch more to father it upon the immortal Sir Jfaac Newton: They would a& much more wifely in en- deavousing to.remove the Calamities incident to pri vate' Lite, than in Ipreading fuch ftupid Tattle and Infiz- nificance. .
