What could be more unjust than for those who are not in control of their affairs to be punished, and for people whose path and life are not in their power to be condemned? Thus, when he appears praying to God that their punishment should not be too cruel, he expresses nothing more than that they are worthy of condemnation and punishment; and this shows nothing more than the freedom of their will. If they were not in control of their affairs, then there would be no need to ask that they be subjected to a lighter punishment, or even to punish them completely; or, better yet, there would be no need for a request, because God does not need anyone to ask him not to punish the innocent. But what do I say: God - when even a prudent person does not do this? (4)
