These 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 generations
before us, better; even as many as have received His oracles in fear

set before us, let us turn again to the practice of that peace which

return to the aim of peace delivered to me from the
beginning.” Comp. Heb. xii. 1. |
and let us look stedfastly to the Father and Creator of the universe,
and cleave to His mighty and surpassingly great gifts and benefactions

with the eyes of our soul to His long-suffering will. Let us
reflect how free from the wrath He is towards all His
creation.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
