The Confessions Of Saint Augustine by St. Augustine

Chapter XXX And now will I stand, and become firm in Theeà

And now will I stand, and become firm in Thee, in my mould, Thy truth; nor will I endure the questions of men, who by a penal disease thirst for more than they can contain, and say, |what did God before He made heaven and earth?| Or, |How came it into His mind to make any thing, having never before made any thing?| Give them, O Lord, well to bethink themselves what they say, and to find, that |never| cannot be predicated, when |time| is not. This then that He is said |never to have made|; what else is it to say, than |in no have made?| Let them see therefore, that time cannot be without created being, and cease to speak that vanity. May they also be extended towards those things which are before; and understand Thee before all times, the eternal Creator of all times, and that no times be coeternal with Thee, nor any creature, even if there be any creature before all times.
