Chapter L.—Let us pray to be thought
worthy of love.
Ye see, beloved, how great and wonderful a thing is
love, and that there is no declaring its perfection. Who is fit to be
found in it, except such as God has vouchsafed to render so? Let us pray,
therefore, and implore of His mercy, that we may live blameless in love,
free from all human partialities for one above another. All the
generations from Adam even unto this day have passed away; but those who,
through the grace of God, have been made perfect in love, now possess a
place among the godly, and shall be made manifest at the revelation224
| 224 Literally,
“visitation.” | of the kingdom of Christ. For it is
written, “Enter into thy secret chambers for a little time, until
my wrath and fury pass away; and I will remember a propitious225
day, and will raise you up out of your graves.”226
Blessed are we, beloved, if we keep the
commandments of God in the harmony of love; that so through love our sins
may be forgiven us. For it is written, “Blessed are they whose
transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the
man whose sin
the Lord will not impute to him, and in whose
mouth there is no guile.”227
This
blessedness cometh upon those who have been chosen by God through Jesus
Christ our Lord; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
