Ὅταν δὲ τὴν ἐμὴν ὑπηρεσίαν ἐπαινῶσιν, ἐξ ἐπιπνοίας θεοῦ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἔχουσαν, ἀφ´ οὐ τῆς ἐμῆς ἀνδραγαθίας τὸν θεὸν αἴτιον εἶναι διαβεβαιοῦνται; πάντων γε μάλιστα· ἔστι γὰρ θεοῦ ἔδιον τὸ τὰ ἄριστα προστάττειν, ἀνθρώπων δὲ τὸ τῷ θεῷ πείθεσθαι. ἔστι δὲ οἶμαι διακονία καλλίστη τε καὶ ἀρίστη, εἴ τις πρὸ τῆς ἐγχειρήσεως προκατασκευάζει τὴν τῶν πραχθησομένων ἀσφάλειαν.
