In ea parte igitur in qua mundi inest principatus haec inesse necesse est , et acriora quidem atque maiora . Quocirca sapientem esse mundum necesse est , naturamque eam quae res omnes conplexa teneat perfectione rationis excellere , eoque deum esse mundum omnemque vim mundi natura divina contineri .
Therefore
it
follows
that
that
part
which
contains
the
ruling
principle
of
the
world
must
necessarily
possess
sensation
and
reason
,
and
these
in
a
more
intense
and
higher
form
.
Hence
it
follows
that
the
world
possesses
wisdom
,
and
that
the
element
which
holds
all
things
in
its
embrace
is
pre-eminently
and
perfectly
rational
,
and
therefore
that
the
world
is
god
,
and
all
the
forces
of
the
world
are
held
together
by
the
divine
nature
.
