If so be that the Gods have deliberated in particular of those things that should happen unto me, I must stand to their deliberation, as discrete and wise.
For that a God should be an imprudent God, is a thing hard even to conceive: and why should they resolve to do me hurt?
For what profit either unto them or the universe (which they specially take care for) could arise from it?
But if so be that they have not deliberated of me in particular, certainly they have of the whole in general, and those things which in consequence and coherence of this general deliberation happen unto me in particular, I am bound to embrace and accept of.
