Now if this is indeed the case, you can be sure that if it should have been otherwise the gods would have made it otherwise: because if that t were right, it would also have been possible, and if in accordance with nature, nature would have brought it about. Therefore the fact (if indeed that is a fact) should assure you that it is not to be otherwise. You can see for yourself that in raising this presumptuous question you are pleading a case with god, But we would not enter such debate with the gods if they were not supremely good and just: and if that is so, they would not have let any part of their ordered arrangements of the world escape them through neglect of justice or reason.
