Is the dwelling place of God anywhere but in the earth and sea, the air and sky, and virtue? Why seek we further for deities? Whatever you see, whatever you touch, that is Jupiter.

Estque dei sedes, nisi terra et pontus et aer et caelum et vertus? Superos quid quaerimas ultra? Iuppiter est, quodcumque vides quodcumque moveris.
