Meditation 77: Quote: |
God hath by His providence so ordered that no one country hath all commodities within itself, but what it wants another shall supply, that so there may be a mutual commerce through the world. As it is with countries, so it is with men: there was never yet any one man that had all excellences. Let his parts, natural and acquired, spiritual and moral, be never so large, yet he stands in need of something which another man hath -- perhaps meaner than himself: which shows us perfection is not below, as also that God will have us beholden to one another.
