Quid enim Thales ille princeps physicorum sciscitanti Croeso de divinitate certum renuntiavit, commeatus deliberandi saepe frustratus? Deum quilibet opifex Christianus et invenit et ostendit et exinde totum quod in deum quaeritur re quoque adsignat; licet Plato adfirmet factitatorem universitatis neque inveniri facilem et inventum enarrari in omnes difficilem
Take Thales,c first of natural philosophers; what certain word had he for Croesus who asked him about godhead,'and all those adjournments conceded to him for reflexion were in vain? But God'there is no Christian working-man but finds God, shows Him, assigns to Him in actual deed all that is sought for in God; though Plato affirms that the maker of the universe is not easy to be found, and, when found, he is hard to declare to all men.
