[72] ὁρᾷς ὅσῃ καὶ περὶ τὴν προφορὰν κέχρηται προφυλακῇ, „ὅτι ἐθυμώθην, ὅτι ἐποίησα αὐτοὺς“ εἰπών, ἀλλ’ οὐ κατ’ ἀναστροφήν· διότι ἐποίησα αὐτούς, ἐθυμώθην. τοῦτο μὲν γὰρ μετανοοῦντος ἦν, ὅπερ ἡ τὰ πάντα προμηθουμένη
θεοῦ φύσις οὐκ ἀνέχεται, ἐκεῖνο δὲ δόγμα συνεκτικώτατον εἰσηγουμένου, ὅτι πηγὴ μὲν ἁμαρτημάτων θυμός, λογισμὸς δὲ ¹ κατορθωμάτων.

[72] You see now what great caution he uses in speaking here, when he says, "I was indignant that I had made them," not reversing the order of the words so as to say, "Because I had made them I was indignant;" for the latter expression would have become a person who repented of what he had done, an idea which is inconsistent with the nature of God, which foresees everything. But the other doctrine is a general one, being the expression of a man who means to explain by it that anger is the fountain of all sins, and reason the source of all good actions.
