55# 三、天命在其所有作为中都观照从自身而出的无限和永恒，尤其是在拯救人类方面。
无限和永恒本身就是神性本身，即主在祂自己里面的存在；而从自身而出的无限和永恒，是发出的神性，即主在祂所创造的他者中的存在，如在人和天使中。这神性与神的天命是完全相同的。
主通过从自身而出的神性实施天命，使一切事物保持在它们被创造时的秩序中。既然是发出的神性在运作这一切，那么这所有的运作都是天命的体现。
55、⑶圣治在它所做的一切事，尤其在拯救人类上，都关注来自它自身的无限和永恒之物。无限和永恒本身就是神性本身，或主本身，而来自它自身的无限和永恒是神性发出，也就是在由祂自己所创造的其他人，因而在世人和天使里面的主；这神性与圣治是一样的。因为主通过来自祂自己的神性规定，一切事物都要保持在它们被造所在并进入的秩序中。由于这是神性发出的工作，故可知，这一切都是圣治。
55. (3) In everything that it does, Divine providence regards something infinite and eternal from itself, especially in saving humankind. The infinite and eternal in itself is the Divine itself or the Lord in Himself. However, the infinite and eternal from itself is the emanating Divinity or Lord in others created from Him, thus in people and angels; and this Divinity is the same as Divine providence. For by the Divinity emanating from Him the Lord provides that all things be kept in the order in which and into which they were created. And because the emanating Divinity accomplishes this, it follows that the whole of it is Divine providence.
55. 3. In everything it does, divine providence focuses on what is infinite and eternal from itself, especially in the intent to save the human race. What is intrinsically infinite and eternal is Divinity itself or the essential Lord. What is secondarily infinite and eternal, though, is divinity emanating, or the Lord in others created from himself--in us and in angels, that is. This divinity is the same as divine providence because the Lord provides by means of that derivative divinity that everything be kept in the design in which and into which it was created. Since it is emanating divinity that is accomplishing this, it follows that all of it is divine providence.
55. III. THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE IN EVERYTHING IT DOES REGARDS WHAT IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL FROM ITSELF, ESPECIALLY IN SAVING THE HUMAN RACE. The Infinite and Eternal in itself is the Divine itself or the Lord in Himself; but the Infinite and Eternal from itself is the Divine Proceeding, that is, the Lord in others created from Himself thus in men and in angels; and this Divine is the same as the Divine Providence. For by means of the Divine from Himself the Lord provides that all things may be held together in the order in which and into which they were created; and because this is the work of the Divine Proceeding it follows that all this is the Divine Providence.
55. (3) The Divine providence, in all that it does, looks to what is infinite and eternal from itself, especially in saving the human race. The Infinite and Eternal in itself is the Divine itself, or the Lord in Himself, while the Infinite and Eternal from itself is the Divine going forth, that is, the Lord in others created from Himself, thus in men and in angels; and this Divine is the same as the Divine providence. For by means of the Divine from Himself the Lord provides that all things may be held together in the order in which and into which they were created. And as this is the work of the Divine that goes forth, it follows that all this is the Divine providence.
55. III. Quod Divina Providentia in omni quod facit, spectet infinitum ac aeternum a se, imprimis in 1salvando Genere Humano. Infinitum ac Aeternum in se est ipsum Divinum seu Dominus in Se; 2at Infinitum ac Aeternum a se, est Divinum procedens seu Dominus in aliis ex Se 3creatis, ita in hominibus et in angelis, et hoc Divinum est idem cum Divina Providentia; nam Dominus per Divinum a Se 4providet, ut omnia in ordine, in quo et in quem creata sunt, contineantur: et quia Divinum procedens hoc operatur, sequitur quod omne id sit Divina Providentia.
