Quer. 10. Moreover I demand of you, What is the End of man and all these special faculties, if there be no life for him after this? Either he hath an End which he is to intend, or he hath •one. If none, then he hath nothing to do in the world. For all actions of man are nothing else but the Intending of some End, ⟨p. 138⟩and the choice and use of means for the attaining it. Man must lie down and sleep out his days, if this be true that he hath •• end. Nay sleep it self hath some. And he cannot choose but Intend some End and seek it, if he would never so fain, unless he will take some opiate stupefying potion, or run mad. And he that made him also and placed him here, had some End in it: For if man had thus no End, he could have no Maker or Efficient cause: For every Rational efficient intendeth an end in all his works. (And he that made men Rational, is Eminently much more Knowing then his Creature) And if we had no Maker, then we have no Being, and so are no Men.
