And yet the consolations of thy mercy have sustained me from
the very beginning, as I have heard from my fleshly parents, from whom
and in whom thou didst form me in time--for I cannot myself remember.
Thus even though they sustained me by the consolation of woman's milk,
neither my mother nor my nurses filled their own breasts but thou,
through them, didst give me the food of infancy according to thy
ordinance and thy bounty which underlie all things. For it was thou who
didst cause me not to want more than thou gavest and it was thou who
gavest to those who nourished me the will to give me what thou didst
give them. And they, by an instinctive affection, were willing to give
me what thou hadst supplied abundantly.
