Yet the men who laid claim to this privilege, out of the order of nature, insisted, that it was the reward or consequence of superior temperance and piety.

然而，那些出于自然秩序而声称享有这种特权的人坚持认为， 这是超凡节制和虔诚的回报或结果。

Being philosophic about what appeared to them as in the order of nature, they sought neither escape nor redress, and soon learned to bear what the wind brought them.

他们对自然秩序中的东西充满哲理，他们既不寻求逃避，也不寻求补救，很快就学会了承受风带给他们的东西。

He gave laws to the elements; He could reverse the order of nature; His eye read the mandates of futurity, and the infernal Spirits were submissive to his commands.

他赋予元素法则； 他可以颠倒自然秩序； 他的眼睛阅读了未来的命令， 地狱之灵顺从了他的命令。

Riches and honours prevent a man from enlarging his understanding, and enervate all his powers, by reversing the order of nature, which has ever made true pleasure the reward of labour.

财富和荣誉阻碍了一个人扩大他的理解力， 并削弱了他所有的力量， 因为自然界的秩序一向使真正的快乐成为劳动的回报。
