561.对于是否有这么多的马这个问题，他们的回答是，没有这么多。由此也可以得出结论，海中的鱼并非无限度地繁殖，一些有害动物，像乌鸦等等，也是如此，不过它们没有被消灭，等等。所有这些事都清楚表明主的旨意，无论总体还是细节。木星灵明白这一切，他们说，主如此统治，是为了让每一个都能有自己的存在。（1748年1月26日）
561. The question whether there were too many horses was answered in the negative - from which it can also be gathered that the fish of the sea are not multiplying out of bounds, nor certain harmful animals, such as crows, and others, even though they are not being exterminated, etc. etc. All of this shows clearly the Providence of the Lord, in general and in particular. This they understood, saying that the Lord governs in such a way that each may have its own existence. 1748, the 26th day of January.
561. To the question whether the horses were thus very abundant, they replied that they were not. From this also it can be gathered that the fishes of the sea are not multiplied beyond measure, nor certain noxious animals like crows and others, although they are not exterminated, etc., etc., these things plainly show the Providence of the Lord in general and in particular. The spirits of Jupiter apprehended this, saying that the Lord so governs that everyone may have his own. 1748, Jan. 26.
561. Ad quaestionem num sic praeabundarent equi, quod negatur, inde etiam colligi potest, quod pisces maris ultra satis non multiplicentur, nec animalia noxia, quaedam, ut corvi, aliaque 1
, tametsi non eradicantur, etc. 2
etc., quae satis monstrant Providentiam Domini, in communi et particulari: hoc capiebant ii, dicentes, quod Dominus ita regat, ut cuivis suum sit. 1748, die 26 Jan.
