And how can they be otherwise than as He knoweth?
Truly, the Lord is in all things; verily, He worketh in all.
Think thus, and thy thoughts are firm, ascribing each circumstance to Him;
Yet know surely, and believe the truth, that God willeth not evil;
For adversities are blessings in disguise, and wickedness the Lord abhorreth:
That He is in all things is an axiom, and that He is righteous in all:
Ascribe holiness to Him, while thou musest on the mystery of sin,
For infinite can grasp that, which finite cannot compass.
In works of art, think justly: what praise canst thou render unto man?
For he made not his own mind, nor is he the source of contrivance.
