Abstract
You have extended like a skin the firmament of your Book [Li ber], your harmonious discourses, over us by the ministry of mor tals . . . . Let the angels, your supercelestial people, praise your name. They have no need to look upon this firmament, to know through reading your word. For they always see your face , and read there without the syllables of time your eternal will. They read , they choose , they love. They are always reading . . . the changelessness of your counsel. Augustine , Confessiones
