but yet I think it must be allowed that several moral rules may receive from mankind a very general approbation, without either knowing or admitting the true ground of morality; which can only be the will and law of a God, who sees men in the dark, has in his hand rewards and punishments, and power enough to call to account the proudest offender.
Hala ere, uste dut onartu behar dela zenbait arau moralek gizateriaren onespen oso orokorra hartzen dutela moraltasunaren benetako oinarria ezagutu gabe ere, oinarri hori ezin izan daitekeelarik beste ezer, bere eskuan sari eta zigorrak eta iraintzailerik harroena kontuak ematera deitzeko boterea dituen eta gizakia iluntasunean ikusten duen Jainkoaren nahia eta legea baino.
