The life and strange adventures of Robinson Crusoe . s usual desires ; it musttherefore be something for his good, and he oughtto be very cautious how he slighted the silent ad-monition. In a word, I prepossessed him so muchin aid of the secret impulses of his own niind, thathe resolved not to go that year, and he saw clearlyafterwards that the secret intimation was from agood hand, for both the ships miscarried ; the firstbeing taken by the Turks, and the latter cast awayand all the men lost, the ship foundering at sea, aswas supposed, for she was never heard of. I could fill this tract with accounts of this nature,but the reason of the case is stronger than the ex-ample ; for as it is an intimation of something future,ana that is to come to pass, it is certain there isa state in which what is future and must come topass is known, and why should we not believe thenews, if it comes from the place where the certaintyof it is known ? Some give all this to a prescience peculiar to thesoul itself, and of kin to that we call the second [298].
