Ending the chapter on understanding, #Hume invokes Leibniz's two clocks: our cause-effect beliefs are implanted in us by nature as an instinct; our thoughts from that instinct correspond precisely to the established among external objects order, though we are wholly ignorant of the forces behind it.
