them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the earth,
the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which

division, in which are contained weaving, politics, dialectic; and in
connexion with the conception of a mean, the two arts of measuring.
