Creakle and his friends what were supposed to be the main advantages of this all-governing and universally over-riding system?

But if the power of Haroun al Raschid were bounded by the immensity of fate, yet he did all he could to fulfil the hope he had raised in Naima's heart.
If, all at once Faith were to slacken, that unconscious faith Which must, I know, yet be the corner-stone Of all believing birds now flying fearless Across would drop in terror to the earth; Fishes would drown; and the all-governing reins Would tangle in the frantic hands of God And the worlds gallop headlong to destruction!" That day bred new faith into my soul!
