19:1 The humility of men so many in number and so great, and who have
obtained so good a report, and their subjection through obedience, hath made not
only us but the generations before us better, namely, those who in fear and
truth have received his oracles.
19:2 Since, therefore, we have become the partakers in many great and
glorious actions, let us finally return to that goal of peace that was given us
from the beginning; let us look steadfastly to the Father and Creator of the
whole world, and let us cleave to the glorious and excellent gifts and benefits
of his peace.
19:3 Let us behold him in spirit, and look with the eyes of the soul to his
long-suffering will. Let us consider how gentle he is toward all his creation.
