worthy thoughts are likewise the consequence of worthy actions: But the wretch who has degraded himself below the character of Immortality, is very willing to resign his pretensions to it, and substitute in its room a dark negative happiness in the extinction of his Being.
I shall not pursue this thought farther, but only add, that as annihilation is not to be had with a wish, so it is that the most abject thing in the world to wish it. What are honour, fame, wealth, or power, when compared with the generous expectation of a Being without end, and a happiness adequate to that Being?
