For it was necessary for the completion of the whole, so that a world might come into being, that in each part the forms of all living creatures should grow; but it was not necessary for man, that thing most akin to wisdom, to rush to the enjoyment of these things, having changed into the wildness of beasts. 8.14.70 Wherefore even to this day, those who have a principle of self-control abstain from all such things, using green herbs and fruits of trees as relishes in most pleasant enjoyment. But to those who thought that a feast on the things mentioned was natural, teachers, moderators, and lawgivers have been appointed in the cities, whose care it was to check the immoderation of 8.14.71 desires, not permitting the fearless use of all things to all. And violets and roses and saffron and the other variety of flowers came to be for health, not for pleasure. For the powers of these are immense and they are beneficial by themselves through their scents, filling all with fragrance, and much more so in the medical compositions of drugs. For some things when mixed provide their own powers more clearly, just as for the generation of an animal the 8.14.72 mixture of male and female, when neither is naturally able by itself to do what both do when they come together. These things have been necessarily said in response to the rest of the questions raised by you, being able to produce sufficient conviction in those who are not contentious about God caring for human affairs.” These things, then, I have excerpted from the man indicated, at once showing what kind of men the children of the Hebrews have become, even in their youth, and at the same time making clear their pious conception of God and their agreement with their forefathers. But now it is time to move on from here to the testimonies of outsiders concerning the same things.
