I am now to prove, by way of conclusion, that every thing in this world of use to us was made designedly for us.
First of all, the universe was made for the Gods and men, and all things therein were prepared and provided for our service.

For the world is the common habitation or city of the Gods and men; for they are the only reasonable beings: they alone live by justice and law.

As, therefore, it must be presumed the cities of Athens and Lacedaemon were built for the Athenians and Lacedaemonians, and as everything there is said to belong to those people, so everything in the universe may with propriety be said to belong to the Gods and men, and to them alone.
In the next place, though the revolutions of the sun, moon, and all the stars are necessary for the cohesion of the universe, yet may they be considered also as objects designed for the view and contemplation of man.

There is no sight less apt to satiate the eye, none more beautiful, or more worthy to employ our reason and penetration.

By measuring their courses we find the different seasons, their durations and vicissitudes, which, if they are known to men alone, we must believe were made only for their sake.
Does the earth bring forth fruit and grain in such excessive abundance and variety for men or for brutes?
The plentiful and exhilarating fruit of the vine and the olive-tree are entirely useless to beasts.
