For since God knew in virtue of His prescience that he\r\nwould not believe, He nevertheless, in order that he might receive\r\nhis own perfection, gave him philosophy, but gave it him previous\r\nto faith. And He gave the sun, and the moon, and the stars to be\r\nworshipped; “which God,” the Law says,<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1099\" id=\"FNanchor_1099\">[1099]</a> made for the nations, that\r\nthey might not become altogether atheistical, and so utterly perish.\r\nBut they, also in the instance of this commandment, having become\r\ndevoid of sense, and addicting themselves to graven images, are judged\r\nunless they repent; some of them because, though able, they would not\r\nbelieve God; and others because, though willing, they did not take the\r\nnecessary pains to become believers. There were also, however, those\r\nwho, from the worship of the heavenly bodies, did not return to the\r\nMaker of them. For this was the way given to the nations to rise up\r\nto God, by means of the worship of the heavenly bodies.
