Let Nothing Which Can Be Treated By

Hear The Truth From Whomever Says It

The Error Of The Ignorant Goes So Far As To Say That God's Power Is Insufficient, Because He Has Given To This Universe The Properties Which They Imagine Cause These Great Evils, And Which Do Not Help All Evil-disposed Persons To Obtain The Evil Which They Seek, And To Bring Their Evil Souls To The Aim Of Their Desires, Though These, As We Have Shown, Are Really Without Limit.

It Is Of Great Advantage That Man Should Know His Station, And Not Imagine That The Whole Universe Exists Only For Him.

To Sum Up: I Am The Man Who When The Concern Pressed Him And His Way Was Straitened And He Could Find No Other Device By Which To Teach A Demonstrable Truth Other Than By Giving Satisfaction To A Single Virtuous Man While Displeasing Ten Thousand Ignoramuses - I Am He Who Prefers To Address That Single Man By Himself, And I Do Not Heed The Blame Of Those Many Creatures.

The Philosophers Likewise Assume That In Nature There Is Nothing In Vain, So That Everything That Is Not The Product Of Human Industry Serves A Certain Purpose, Which May Be Known Or Unknown To Us.
