What, then, is your opinion about that section of the statement that follows, “He brings about rain upon the just and the unjust”? Surely he who gives, gives when he wishes and gives where he wishes, either by arranging the well ordered nature or by lavishly bestowing his own munificence.

The Lord is his name.”
