As to the crimes they were guilty of towards one another, I had nothing to do with them; they were national, and I ought to leave them to the justice of God, who is the Governor of nations, and knows how, by national punishments, to make a just retribution for national offences, and to bring public judgments upon those who offend in a public manner, by such ways as best please Him.
Quant à leurs crimes, ils s'en rendaient coupables les uns envers les autres, je n'avais rien à y faire. Pour les offenses nationales il est des punitions nationales, et c'est à Dieu qu'il appartient d'infliger des châtiments publics à ceux qui l'ont publiquement offensé.
