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,4266

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 revelation4268

Christ.4269 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 propitious4270 day, and will raise you up out of your
graves.”4271 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.4272 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
