After all, what kind of a Deity must that be who is not graced with one single virtue, if we should succeed in forming this idea of such a one?
Must we not attribute prudence to a Deity?
a virtue which consists in the knowledge of things good, bad, and indifferent.

Yet what need has a being for the discernment of good and ill who neither has nor can have any ill?
Of what use is reason to him?
of what use is understanding?
We men, indeed, find them useful to aid us in finding out things which are obscure by those which are clear to us; but nothing can be obscure to a Deity.

As to justice, which gives to every one his own, it is not the concern of the Gods; since that virtue, according to your doctrine, received its birth from men and from civil society.

Temperance consists in abstinence from corporeal pleasures, and if such abstinence hath a place in heaven, so also must the pleasures abstained from.

Lastly, if fortitude is ascribed to the Deity, how does it appear?
In afflictions, in labor, in danger?
None of these things can affect a God.
