And it is surprising to consider how great this Diversity is.  It is almost as various as that of bodily Features and Complexion.  There is no Instance of any kind of Learning or Business; any Thing relating to the Necessity or Delight of Life; not the meanest Office or the hardest Labour, but some or other are found to answer the different Purposes of each.  They are carried through all the Difficulties in their several Ways, by the meer Force of a Genius:  And attempt and achieve that, with an high relish of Pleasure, which would give the greatest Disgust to others and utterly discourage them.  This stirs up an useful Emulation, and gives full Scope for every one to show Himself and appear to advantage.  And it is certainly for the Beauty and Advantage of the Body.  As many Hands employed in different Ways about some noble Building, yet all help either to secure its Strength, or furnish out all the Convenience, or give a State and Grandeur to it.

The Wisdom and Beauty of Providence appear at once in this Variety and Distinction of Powers and Inclinations among Mankind.  It is a very wise and a necessary Provision for the common Good, and the Advantage and Pleasure of particular Men.  It answers to all the Ends and Occasions of Mankind.  They are in this Way made helpful to one another, and capable of serving Themselves, and that without much trouble or fatigue.  Business by this Means becomes a Pleasure.  The greatest Labours and Cares are easy and entertaining to Him who pursues his Genius.  Inclination still urges the Man on:  Obstacles and Oppositions only sharpen his Appetite, and put Him upon summoning all his Powers, that He may exert Himself to the uttermost, and get over his Difficulties.  All the several Arts and Sciences, and all the Improvements made in them from Time to Time; all the different Offices and Employments of humane Life, are owing to this variety of Powers and Inclinations among Men.  And is it not obvious to every Eye how much of the Conveniences and Comforts of humane Life spring from these Originals?  It is a glorious Display and most convincing Proof of the Interest of Providence in humane Affairs, and the Wisdom of its Conduct, to fit Things in this Manner to their proper Uses and Ends.  And so to sort Mankind, and suit their Talents and Inclinations, that all may contribute somewhat to the Publick Good, and hardly one Member of the whole Body be lost in the Reckoning, useless to it self, or unserviceable to the Body.  Were it otherwise, what large Tracts of humane Affairs would lie perfectly waste and uncultivated?  Whereas now all the Parts of humane Learning and Life lie open to Improvement, and some or other is fitted by Nature, and dispos’d by Inclination, to help towards it.
