How is it that the earth stands solid and
unswerving? On what is it supported? What is it that props
it up, and on what does that rest? For indeed even reason has
nothing to lean upon, but only the Will of God. And how is it
that part of it is drawn up into mountain summits, and part laid down
in plains, and this in various and differing ways? And because
the variations are individually small, it both supplies our needs more
liberally, and is more beautiful by its variety; part being distributed
into habitations, and part left uninhabited, namely all the great
height of Mountains, and the various clefts of its coast line cut off
from it. Is not this the clearest proof of the majestic working
of God?
