Argument—In this book it is

proved that the extent and long duration of the Roman empire is to

be ascribed, not to Jove or the gods of the heathen, to whom

individually scarce even single things and the very basest

functions were believed to be entrusted, but to the one true God, the author of felicity, by whose power and judgment earthly kingdoms are founded and maintained.
