Book Three, Chapter 58
Of not Searching into High Matters, nor Scrutinizing the Secret Judgments of God

Beware of disputing about high matters and of the hidden judgments of God: why this man is so forsaken, and that other raised to so great grace: or why this person is so much afflicted, and that so highly exalted.  Such things exceed all human comprehension, nor is any reason or disputation competent to investigate the divine judgments.

When, therefore, the enemy suggests such to you, or certain curious men inquire into them, answer you with the Prophet:  You are just, O  Lord, and Your judgment is right.  And again: The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.

My judgments are to be feared, not to be discussed, because they are incomprehensible to human understanding.
