αὐτὸς γοῦν ἀεὶ καὶ νῦν λέγει τῷ μὲν ἡλίῳ καὶ ἀνατέλλει, ταῖς δὲ νεφέλαις ἐντέλλεται καὶ βρέχει ἐπὶ μίαν μερίδα, ἐφ’ ἣν δὲ οὐ βρέχει, ξηραίνεται. καὶ τὴν μὲν γῆν κελεύει τοὺς καρποὺς ἀποδιδόναι, τὸν δὲ Ἰερεμίαν ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ πλάττει. εἰ δὲ ταῦτα νῦν αὐτὸς ποιεῖ, οὐκ ἔστιν ἀμφίβολον, ὅτι καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀρχὴν οὐκ ἀπηξίωσεν αὐτὸς τὰ πάντα διὰ τοῦ λόγου ποιῆσαι· μέρη γὰρ τῶν ὅλων ἐστὶ ταῦτα.
