examples, let us seek after peace.
Thus the humility and godly submission of so
great and illustrious men have rendered not only us, but also all the

“Becoming partakers of many great and glorious deeds, let us return
to the aim of peace delivered to us from the beginning.” Comp.
Heb. xii. 1. | and let us look stedfastly

long-suffering will. Let us reflect how free from wrath He is towards all
His creation.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
