The Preaching of Simeon Kefa 255<br />

it has been made as it is by reason and foresight? Because in<br />

that part alone of her body the female differs from the male, in<br />

which the fetus being placed, is kept and cherished. And again<br />

the male differs from the female only in that part of his body<br />

in which is the power of injecting seed and propagating mankind.<br />

And in this there is a great proof of providence, from the<br />

necessary difference of members. How marvelous it is that<br />

where, under a likeness of form there is found to be diversity<br />

of use and variety of office. For males and females equally<br />

have teats, but only those of the female are filled with milk;<br />

that, as soon as they have brought forth, the infant may find<br />

nourishment suited to him. But if we see the members in man<br />

arranged with such method and that in all the rest of creation<br />

there is seen to be similarity of form, and a difference only in<br />

those in which their use requires a difference, and we neither<br />

see anything superfluous nor anything wanting in man, nor in<br />

woman anything deficient or in excess. Who will not, from all<br />

these things, acknowledge the operation of reason, and the<br />

wisdom of the Creator?<br />

This also is testified by the variety of trees and the diversity of<br />

herbs, varying both in form and in juices. This also is asserted<br />

by the change of seasons, distinguished into four periods, and<br />

the circle closing the year with certain hours, days, months,<br />

and not deviating from the appointed reckoning by a single<br />

hour. Hence, in short, the age of the world itself is reckoned by<br />

a certain and fixed account, and a definite number of years.<br />
