Nor should any Greek have any misgiving of this kind ; that it is not 

 fitting for us to inquire narrowly into the operations of Superior Powers, 

 such as those by which the motions of the heavenly bodies are produced 

 but, on the contrary, men should consider that the Divine Powers never act 

 without purpose, and that they know the nature of man : they know that 

 jy their guidance and aid, man may follow and comprehend the lessons 

 which are vouchsafed him on such subjects.
