or satyr, with this Spanish motto, Mas perdido, y menos arrepentido, the more lost, the less repentant, which indicates a hopeless passion from which one cannot free oneself.  This motto was afterwards repeated by the Spanish Count of Villamediana when he was said to be in love with the Queen.  Coming to the question why evil often happens to the good and good to the wicked, [442] our illustrious author thinks that it has been sufficiently answered, and that hardly any doubt remains on that point.  He observes nevertheless that one may often doubt whether good people who endure affliction have not been made good by their very misfortune, and whether the fortunate wicked have not perhaps been spoilt by prosperity.  He adds that we are often bad judges, when it is a question of recognizing not only a virtuous man, but also a happy man.  One often honours a hypocrite, and one despises another whose solid virtue is without pretence.  We are poor judges of happiness also, and often felicity is hidden from sight under the rags of a contented poor man, while it is sought in vain in the palaces of certain of the great.  Finally the author observes, that the greatest felicity here on earth lies in the hope of future happiness, and thus it may be said that to the wicked nothing happens save what is of service for correction or chastisement, and to the good nothing save what ministers to their greater good.  These conclusions entirely correspond to my opinion, and one can say nothing more appropriate for the conclusion of this work.

CAUSA DEI ASSERTA
PER JUSTITIAM EJUS

cum caeteris ejus perfectionibus cunctisque actionibus conciliatam.

The original edition of the Theodicy contained a fourth appendix under this title.  It presented in scholastic Latin a formal summary of the positive doctrine expressed by the French treatise.  It satisfied the academic requirements of its day, but would not, presumably, be of interest to many modern readers, and is consequently omitted here.
