"The said captain, seeing the faith and piety of this people, recited the Gospel of St. John, namely: In principio, making the sign of the cross over the poor sick people, praying GOD that he would give them the knowledge of our holy faith and grace to accept Christianity and baptism.
Its true complement is theism and finality, which flow from it as naturally, if not quite so immediately as the "argument from adaptability." Deus creavit is so far the only moderately intelligible, or at least not demonstrably unintelligible, answer given to the problem of In principio.
"We come of a race," he wrote carelessly to his brother Louis, "who are somewhat bad managers in our young days, but when we grow older, we do better, like our late father: 'sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper et in secula seculorum'. My greatest difficulty," he adds, "as usual, is on account of the falconers."
"Parce, Domine!" sang the people. "Parce populo tuo! Ne in aeternum irascaris nobis." Again: "Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto." "Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen." Then again the single voice and the multitudinous answer: "Vous êtes la Résurrection et la Vie!"
