4.23

Whatever is agreeable to you, O Universe 12 is so to me too. Your Things are never Mistim'd. Your Methods are acceptable, and your Seasons all Spring and Summer to me! From You all Things proceed, subsist in you, and Return to You. And if the Poet call'd Athens the City Beloved by Cecrops, why mayn't the World be styled the Favourite Town of Jupiter?
