Polanus: On God's Providence

Because fortune by itself is nothing, but a mere figment of the poets of the Gentiles, who imagine it to be a goddess, who gives good and bad to whom she wills. II. Because fortune is a denial of God and His providence. For he who persuades himself that the happiness he enjoys, the goods he possesses, are not from God but from fortune despises and denies God's providence and very easily abandons his pure worship.-.Polanus, Syntagma, Chapter 5, In Which Concerning the Highest Good, pg 82.
