ἀπὸ νόσου καὶ ὑγιείας, ἀπὸ τῶν μελῶν τῶν ἡμετέρων, ἀπὸ τῆς κατασκευῆς τῆς ψυχῆς, ἀπὸ τῶν τεχνῶν καὶ τῆς σοφίας τῆς ἐν αὐταῖς παρασχεθείσης τῷ τῶν ἀνθρώπων γένει, ἀπὸ τῆς χρείας τῶν ὑπηρετουμένων ἡμῖν ἀλόγων καὶ φυτῶν καὶ ἑτέρων κτισμάτων, ἀπὸ τῶν μικροτάτων καὶ εὐτελεστάτων ζῴων. Τί γὰρ μελίττης βραχύτερον καὶ εἰδεχθέστερον; τί δὲ μυρμήκων καὶ τεττίγων εὐτελέστερον; Ἀλλ' ὅμως καὶ ταῦτα λαμπρὰν ἀφίησι φωνὴν ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ προνοίας καὶ δυνάμεως καὶ σοφίας.
