Jupiter granted their request and decreed that henceforth the Ills

should visit the earth in company with each other, but that the Goods
should one by one enter the habitations of men. Hence it arises that
Ills abound, for they come not one by one, but in troops, and by no
means singly: while the Goods proceed from Jupiter, and are given, not
alike to all, but singly, and separately; and one by one to those who
are able to discern them.
