Book 3
1.71
And there is one created universe,Cf. Plato, Tim. 31 a, b; 33 a; 55 c, d; 92 c. seeing that it is perceptible to sense, which has been made by God. And it is animate because that which is animate is better than that which is inanimate.Cf. Plato, Tim. 30 b. And this piece of workmanship is assumed to come from a cause supremely good.Cf. Plato, Tim. 30 a, b; 55 c, d. It was made one and not unlimited because the pattern from which he made it was one. And it is spherical because such is the shape of its maker.
