PLATO, Epinomis, p. 988. 



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 hodies 

 are produced: hut, 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.
