Ah friends! can you think it an indifferent thing, into what part of the World the womb of Nature had cast you out? Is there no odds, upon what Spot of the Creation, or in what Age of the World your lot had fallen? It may be you ⟨p. 40⟩have not seriously bethought your selves about this matter.

Is there no odds, upon what Spot of the Creation, or in what Age of the World your lot had fallen? It may be you ⟨p. 40⟩have not seriously bethought your selves about this matter.
