If I had said that the universe does not move on account of the impotence of its ruler, I should have been wrong and your rebuke would have been in order.

I admit that it is just as easy for an infinite power to move a hundred thousand as to move one.

What I said, however, does not refer to him who causes the motion, but to that which is moved.

In answer to your remark that it is more fitting for an infinite power to reveal a large part of itself rather than a little, I answer that, in relation to the infinite, one part is not greater than another, if both are finite.

Hence it is unallowable to say that a hundred thousand is a larger part of an infinite number than two, although the former is fifty thousand times greater than the latter.
