happen,
and
between
which
there are
generally
long
intervening
intervals,
they value
it no
farther
than it
deserves–that
is, in
proportion
to its
use. So
that it is
plain they
must
prefer
iron
either to
gold or
silver,
for men
can no
more live
without
iron than
without
fire or
water; but
Nature has
marked out
no use for
the other
metals so
essential
as not
easily to
be
dispensed
with. The
folly of
men has
enhanced
the value
of gold
