Iudex pro me
Judge for me, God.
Defend my cause against the hostile anthropod.
Deliver me from deceitful hypocrisy
and those that seek to damage me or my property
You are the source of my strength.
Why have you put me from you at length?
Why do I trod so heavily
while the enemy oppresses me?
Send out your truth and your light
that I may see with the help of your insight.
Bring me to the height of my heart
with your indwelling spark.
Watch your will despite the pandemonium.
Welcome the silence as the presence of your Custodian.
There is promise in philosophy for history.
Inference from observation decreases mystery.
Creation with organization builds consensus for practical simplicity.
I want to visit your altar with joy and gladness.
I want to feel relief from this bounty of sadness.
Why are you so full of heaviness my soul?
Why are you so disquieted in your role?
The deviant pressures in life are countermanded
by the authority of love's commandment.
It was the cruelty of punishment that made the law oppressively severe.
Redemption in the real presence of Christ made us as heirs to the promise draw near.
Renew your faith in God.
Give thanks for the flowery sod.
Let your countenance shine like the sun.
Be the emblem of faith for the Holy One.

43 Judica me, Deus
Judge me, God
1 Give judgment for me, O God,
and defend my cause against an ungodly people;
deliver me from the deceitful and the wicked.
2 For you are the God of my strength;
why have you put me from you?
and why do I go so heavily while the enemy
oppresses me?
3 Send out your light and your truth, that they may lead me,
and bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling;
4 That I may go to the altar of God,
to the God of my joy and gladness;
and on the harp I will give thanks to you, O God my God.
5 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul?
and why are you so disquieted within me?
6 Put your trust in God;
for I will yet give thanks to him,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

1 Kings 19:11-13
The LORD said, 'Go out and stand on the mountain and watch for me to pass.' Now there was a great wind. It was so strong that it toppled trees, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind came an earthquake that split slabs and broke rocks, but the LORD was not in the quake. After the earthquake came a fire that set the mountain ablaze, but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire came the sound of silence.
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out to stand at the entrance to the cave. He heard a voice that said, 'What are you doing here?'

Watch your will despite the pandemonium.
Welcome the silence as the presence of your Custodian.

Galatians 3:23,27-29
Before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed.
As many of you as have been baptized have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek. There is no longer slave or free. There is no longer male and female. All of you are one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring. You are heirs according to the promise.

Jesus then asked him, 'What is your name?' He said, 'Legion.' Many demons had entered him. They begged him not to order them to go back into the abyss. There was a large herd of swine feeding on a hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them enter these. He gave them permission. The demons left the man and entered the swine. The herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

Giambattista Vico
b. 6.23.1668 Naples, Kingdom of Naples
d. 1.23.1744 Naples, Kingdom of Naples
Giambattista Vico was an Italian political philosopher and rhetorician, historian and jurist of the Age of Enlightenment. He has been credited with the invention of the philosophy of history.
He spent most of his professional life as Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Naples. He was trained in jurisprudence, but read widely in Classics, philology and philosophy. His study informed his original views on history, historiography and culture.
He criticized the expansion and development of modern rationalism as an apologist for Classical Antiquity. He was a precursor of systematic and complex thought in opposition to Cartesian analysis and other types of reductionism. He was the first expositor of the fundamentals of social science and of semiotics.
His thought is most fully expressed in his mature work, the Scienza Nuova or The New Science.
Naples
Naples is located on the west coast of Italy, 225 km (140 miles) south of Rome. It is the third-largest municipality in Italy after Rome and Milan.
The city was an important part of Magna Graecia. It played a major role in the merging of Greek and Roman society. It was a significant cultural center under the Romans.
The Kingdom of Naples comprised that part of the Italian Peninsula south of the Papal States between 1282 and 1816.
It was created as a result of the War of the Sicilian Vespers (1282–1302). When the island of Sicily revolted, it was conquered by the Crown of Aragon. It became the separate Kingdom of Sicily.
Naples continued to be officially known as the Kingdom of Sicily, the name of the formerly unified kingdom. The realm was contested between French and Spanish dynasties for much of its existence.
Naples had become Europe's second-largest city by the 17th century. Paris was larger. It was the largest European Mediterranean city with around 250,000 inhabitants. The city was a major cultural center during the Baroque era from the early 17th until the mid-18th century.
The English word baroque comes directly from the French adaptation of the Portuguese term barroco, a flawed pearl. It wasn't used in a favorable sense initially. It was literally applied to pearls that weren't round. The style came to refer to art that used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep color, grandeur and surprise to achieve a sense of awe.
Giavon Battista Vico
Giovanni Battista Vico was born in Naples, Italy, June 23 1668, to a bookseller and daughter of a carriage maker. He was the sixth of eight children in a poor family.
He fell from the top of a ladder in his father’s bookshop at the age of 7 and seriously injured his head. He became a teacher of himself at the advice of his father, but complained of bouts of ill health for most of his life.
He received his formal education at local grammar schools and from various Jesuit tutors.
He accepted a job as a tutor in Vatolla, south of Salerno, in 1686 after surviving a bout of typhus.
The nine-year professional engagement lasted till 1695. He gave up his study of scholastic philosophy during this time and concentrated on the study of Plato and poets such as Virgil, Dante and Petrarch. He described these years as a time when he lived in isolation and during which Naples was overrun by Cartesian scientists.
He remained in contact with Naples and completed his study at the University from which he graduated in 1694 as Doctor of Civil and Canon Law.
Vico became a professor of rhetoric at the University of Naples in 1699. He held the position until 1741. He married during this time and had eight children. Three of them survived.
Vico returned to Naples from Vatolla to find "the physics of Descartes at the height of its renown among the established men of letters." Developments in both metaphysics and the natural sciences abounded as the result of Cartesianism.
Descartes's method was widely disseminated by the Port Royal Logic of Antoine Arnauld and Pierre Nicole. The method was rooted in verification. The only path to truth, and thus knowledge, was through axioms derived from observation.
Descartes's insistence that the "sure and indubitable" (or, "clear and distinct") should form the basis for reason had an impact on the prevailing views of logic and discourse. Studies in rhetoric and all studies concerned with civic discourse and the realm of probable truths met with increasing disdain.
Vico prepared students for higher studies in the fields of Law and of Jurisprudence as Royal Professor of Latin. His lessons were about the formal aspects of the canon of rhetoric, including the arrangement and the delivery of an argument.
He chose to emphasize the Aristotelian connection of rhetoric with logic and dialectic. Aristotle's method was characterized by the consideration of what others had to say about something.
Vico's objection to modern rhetoric is that it is disconnected from common sense (sensus communis), defined as the “worldly sense” that is common to all men. His rhetoric started from a central argument (medius terminus), which was to be clarified by following the order of things as they arise in our experience. Probability and circumstance retained their proportionate importance. Discovery was reliant upon topics (loci) that superseded axioms derived through reflective, abstract thought.
Vico set out to educate the orator (rhetorician) as the transmitter of the oratio, a speech with ratio (reason) at the center. What was essential to the oratorical art (Gr. ῥητορική, rhētorikē) was the orderly link between common sense and an end commensurate with oratory.
This end was not imposed upon the imagination from above in the manner of the moderns and dogmatic Christianity. It was drawn from common sense, itself. His true orator would be midwife to the birth of “the true” (as an idea) from “the certain”, the ignorance in the mind of the student as in the tradition of Socrates and Cicero.
Vico's position held that the realms of verifiable truth and human concern share only a slight overlap, yet reasoning is required in equal measure in both spheres. He did not argue that the Cartesian method was irrelevant. Its application could not be extended to the public through the civic sphere.
He argued along with the ancients that appeals to phronēsis (φρόνησις or practical wisdom) must also be made. Organization in the Dutch republic suggested that business interest would control government as an expression of axiomatic relations.
The idea of the 'Dutch book' bet was such that the business executive was made a government official so the man would turn a profit from the pricing of products in business and the taxation of service for government.
Modern politicians organize their campaigns in relation to larger funding sources in an effort to make themselves more powerful than the business leaders who provide the larger contributions.
Vico is best known for his verum factum principle. The principle was first formulated in 1710 as part of his De antiquissima Italorum sapientia, ex linguae latinae originibus eruenda (1710) ("On the most ancient wisdom of the Italians, unearthed from the origins of the Latin language").
The principle states that truth is verified through creation or invention and not, as per Descartes, through observation. This belief opens the door to dependence upon the sword of Damocles. 'Fake news' is the modern term for it.
Once government officials persuade the public that they are necessary to solve all problems related to national security, accountability is discarded to favor increase in the public sense of dependency upon the government official.
Business interest may have been organized so the organizer of the production of a product for profit could not lose once official status was gained in the Dutch republic, but organization was ordered to provide a product or service for the public.
When the government makes itself the solution to all problems there is no end to the deception that is rendered against people as though it were for the public interest.
The political system derived from the Cartesian or the Verum Factum method doesn't entertain free market competition within the context of a nation. Either allows for competition between nations, but the Verum Factum is closer to the concept of a nation without borders. It is the more liberal of the two views.
The Verum Factum has been employed by liberals in Congress or Parliament statistically. Cartesian organization has prevalence at the state level in the US or county in the UK, but national overreach has been imposed on this system of organization.
Vico lived until he was 75 years of age. He died in Naples on January 23, 1744.
