Again, in his First Book of Justice, having spoken of the Gods as resisting the injustices of some, he says But wholly to take away vice is neither possible nor expedient. Whether it were not better that law-breaking, injustice, and folly should be taken away, is not the design of this present discourse to enquire. But he himself, as much as in him lies, by his philosophy taking away vice, which it is not expedient to take away, does something repugnant both to reason and God. Besides this, saying that God resists some injustices, he again declares plainly the impiety of sins.
