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 

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

 which are vouchsafed him on such subjects.
