Our inquiry must be directed quite differently. We must consider not individual cases but the general, the whole. Then we shall attain what is most necessary; then we shall get Mercury's wand and do miracles; we shall transform poverty, banishment, sickness, and death itself into good. Then ethics will replace ontology and we shall be able to forget Job and his "words that are swallowed up".
