Philos 2xx3 jan 16 20 readings part 1. Supreme cause and author of everything must be of infinite goodness, justice, truth. The idea that things have different relations is certain: this is the idea of fittingness. From these different relations, there arises agreements or disagreements, or a fitness or unfitness. There"s a fit(cid:374)ess or suita(cid:271)le(cid:374)ess of (cid:272)ertai(cid:374) features to (cid:272)ertai(cid:374) perso(cid:374)s (cid:374)ot depe(cid:374)di(cid:374)g o(cid:374) a(cid:374)(cid:455)o(cid:374)e"s (cid:449)ill.

People whose understandings are either imperfect or depraved will not see these relations as they are. The supreme cause must always do what he knows to be fittest to be done. The must is because of a moral necessity which is consistent with the most perfect liberty.
