However, already on the basis of observing the usual course of nature, we could be convinced that almost everything in it is subject to principles and rules that are completely different from ours; and besides this, we will obviously act contrary to all the rules of analogy, if, based on the intentions and plans of people, we will reason about the intentions of a being so different from them and so much superior to them.
