In which state man, however furnished with the faculties of understanding and will, would be a very idle, inactive creature, and pass his time only in a lazy, lethargic dream. It has therefore pleased our wise Creator to annex to several objects, and the ideas which we receive from them, as also to several of our thoughts, a concomitant pleasure, and that in several objects, to several degrees, that those faculties which he had endowed us with might not remain wholly idle and unemployed by us.
Eta egoera horretan gizakia, adimen eta nahimenaz horniturik egon arren, izaki alfer eta geldo huts bihurtuko litzateke eta amets nagi eta letargiko batean emanen luke denbora. Horregatik gure Kreatzaile jakintsuak zenbait objekturi, haietatik jasotzen ditugun ideiei eta gure pentsamendu batzuei plazerra, objektu ezberdinetan mailakatua, erantsi nahi izan die, berak eman dizkigun ahalmenak ezertarako erabili ez eta erabat alferreko bihur ez ditzagun.
