Nothing can be a greater demonstration of a future state, and ofthe existence of an invisible world, than the concurrence of secondcauses with the idea of things which we form in our minds,perfectly reserved, and not communicated to any in the world.

This put me in mind of the life I lived in my kingdom, the island where I suffered no more corn to grow, because I did not want it and bred no more goats, because I had no more use for them wherethe money lay in the drawer till it grew mouldy, and had scarce thefavour to be looked upon in twenty years.All these things, had Iimproved them as I ought to have done, and as reason and religionhad dictated to me, would have taught me to search farther thanhuman enjoyments for a full felicity and that there was somethingwhich certainly was the reason and end of life superior to allthese things, and which was either to be possessed, or at leasthoped for, on this side of the grave. My nephew knew nothing how far my distemper of wandering wasreturned upon me, and I knew nothing of what he had in his thoughtto say, when that very morning, before he came to me, I had, in agreat deal of confusion of thought, and revolving every part of mycircumstances in my mind, come to this resolution, that I would goto Lisbon, and consult with my old seacaptain and if it wasrational and practicable, I would go and see the island again, andwhat was become of my people there.I had pleased myself with thethoughts of peopling the place, and carrying inhabitants fromhence, getting a patent for the possession and I know not what when, in the middle of all this, in comes my nephew, as I havesaid, with his project of carrying me thither in his way to theEast Indies.
