Quid enim potest esse tam apertum, tam confessum tamque perspicuum, cum oculos in caelum sustuleris et quae sunt infra circaque lustraveris, quam esse aliquod numen praestantissimae mentis, quo omnis natura inspiretur, moveatur, alatur, gubernetur? Caelum ipsum vide: quam late tenditur, quam rapide volvitur, vel quod in noctem astris distinguitur, vel quod in diem sole lustratur: iam scies, quam sit in eo summi moderatoris mira et divina libratio.
What can be more plain, more obvious, more patent as you lift your eyes to heaven, and survey all things beneath you and around, than that there exists some deity surpassing in wisdom, by whom all nature is inspired, moved, nourished, and directed? Look at heaven itself, its vast expanse, its rapid revolutions, at night studded with stars, by day illumined by the sun; it brings home to you the balance wondrous and divine maintained by the supreme controller.
