Chapter XXXVI.—All
for the Best.
But he (Peter) saw me disheartened, and asked the
reason; and being told that it proceeded from no cause but the
postponement of the
inquiry,944
| 944 [Comp.
Recognitions, i. 21.—R.] | he said:
“He who has apprehended that the world is regulated by the good
providence of God, O beloved Clement, is not vexed by things howsoever
occurring, considering that things take their course advantageously
under the providence of the Ruler. Whence, knowing that He is
just, and living with a good conscience, he knows how by right reason
to shake off from his soul any annoyance that befalls him, because,
when complete, it must come to some unknown good. Now then, let
not Simon the magician’s postponement of the inquiry grieve you;
for perhaps it has happened from the providence of God for your
profit. Wherefore I shall not scruple to speak to you as being my
special friend.
