THESIS 42: AS WITH ALL ANGELIC ACTIVITY, NO STATE ACTION IS COINCIDENTAL OR RANDOM

Like pestilence, famine, and storm, the State is ordered by God[156] for the judgment of other statists.[157] Like pestilence, famine, and storm, these acts are attributable to personal angelic forces.[158] Stars are associated with both the State[159] and other forms of pestilence and storm.[160]
