He would then adore the gifts instead of God and rest in Nature, forgetting the God of Nature; thus both would be losers. IVSo God let man keep the other gifts but with restless discontent. Man would be rich yet weary, and if goodness did not lead him to God, his weariness would act like a pulley and lift him towards God.
