But the enormous dimensions of this mass of misery are such, that our organs are not fitted for the contemplation of it; our affections are not suited to deal with it; we are • loft in the immensity of the prospect; we are diffracted by it's variety. We may see highly probable reasons why our allwise Creator has so conftituted us, that we are more deeply affected by one single tale of misery, with all the details of which we are acquainted, than by the greateft accumulation of sufferings of which the particulars have not fallen under our notice. Could I but separate this immense aggregate into all its component parts, and present them one by one to your view, in all their particularity of wretchedness, you would then have a more juft impression of the im^ . .
