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 and truth. So,
having so many great and glorious examples set before us, let us turn
again to the practice of that peace which from the beginning was the
mark set before us; and let us look steadfastly to the Father and
Creator of the universe, and cleave to His mighty and surpassingly great
gifts and benefactions, of peace.

Let us contemplate Him with our understanding, and look with the eyes of
our soul to His long-suffering will. Let us reflect how free from wrath
He is towards all His creation.
