However that might be, it seems clear to me that the abridged idea I have just given of God's conduct bears more of the mark of an infinite wisdom than that ordinarily formed of it, and if that is so, it certainly approaches the truth more than the others do, for God acts always in God, always according to the immutable order of His attributes, which are His law and motive, because He is pleased in them and can neither contradict nor ignore them.
