therefore it is not
true that there are gods and yet that they do not
give us signs of the future; but there are gods,
therefore they give us such signs; and if they give
such signs, it is not true that they give us no
means to understand those signs—otherwise their
signs would be useless; and if they give us the
means, it is not true that there is no divination;
therefore there is divination.'
