Let your gods, therefore, O philosophers, be suited to the present appearances of nature: and presume not to alter these appearances by arbitrary suppositions, in order to suit them to the attributes, which you so fondly ascribe to your deities.
Bitez beraz zuen jainkoak, oi filosofook, naturan ageri zaizkigun antzirudien araberakoak, eta ez zaitezte ausart antzirudiok aldatzera, suposizio arbitrarioak bide, jainkooi hain gustora egozten dizkiezuen atributuen moldera egokitzearren!
