The rational force that governs the universe exists for community and society. It has made worse things serve the best things. It has joined the best things together in harmony. Don't you see how it has organized everything? How it has given each thing what it deserves? The things that are most excellent — it has united them in mutual agreement.
That rational essence by which the universe is governed, is for community and society; and therefore hath it both made the things that are worse, for the best, and hath allied and knit together those which are best, as it were in an harmony. Seest thou not how it hath sub-ordinated, and co-ordinated? and how it hath distributed unto everything according to its worth? and those which have the pre-eminency and superiority above all, hath it united together, into a mutual consent and agreement.
