Nemesius

It would seem that all things are governed by God immediately.

For Gregory of Nyssa, Nemesius on human nature, reproves the opinion of Plato, who divides providence into three parts.

The first he ascribes to the supreme God, who watches over heavenly things and all universals.

The second providence he attributes to the secondary deities, who go the round of the heavens to watch over generation and corruption.

But this is false, as proved above, question 115, article 6.

Others, on the other hand, held that fate is changeable even as dependent on divine providence.

Wherefore the Egyptians said that fate could be changed by certain sacrifices, as Gregory of Nyssa says, Nemesius de Homine.

This too has been disproved above for the reason that it is repugnant to divine providence.
