And it is God alone who determines all things.

[FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt][FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt]N[/FONT]ow if God were to hasten for human beings the ill which they deserve by their sinning in the same manner as they themselves would hasten the coming to them of what they consider to be good, their end would indeed come forthwith!

[FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt][FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt]N[/FONT]ow if God were to take men immediately to task for all the evil that they do on earth, He would not leave a single living creature upon its face. However, He grants them respite until a term set by Him: but when the end of their term approaches, they can neither delay it by a single moment, nor can they hasten it.
