Summary

Description

DIVINE BENEFICENCE. G7
animal, I should not have been able to trace any re-
semblance to the ramified trees that had at first
guarded the orifice. It would appear therefore that
they are to be seen in perfection only when the Pholas
is in high health, and newly taken from its rock.
This contrivance, or rather this series of contri-
vances, for the health and comfort of a poor shell-fish
that spends its whole life buried in a sepulchre of
stone, may seem to some but an insignificant matter.
But it strikes my mind with power as an example of
the beneficent care of God over all his creatures, and
of the infinite resources of Divine wisdom in which
creation has been planned and executed. And so far
from the meanness of the object on which such care
is bestowed rendering it less worthy of remark, that
very circumstance ought to enhance our admiration.
It seems less difiicult to conceive of the tender bene-
ficence of God exercised towards an angel, or towards
man who was made in his own image ; but that the
Mind of the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eter-
nity should occupy itself about the feelings of such a
worm as this, is marvellous indeed ! It is one of those
innumerable examples that occur to the Christian
philosopher, in which " the invisible things of Him from
the creation of the world are clearly seen, being un-
derstood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead."

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
