I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 13 Now consider this ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 14 Whose offereth praise, glorifieth me; And to him that disposeth his way aright, will I show the salvation of God. 15 This is the way, beloved, in which we may find our Saviour, even Jesus Christ, the high-priest of all our offerings, the defender and helper of our weakness. 16 By him we look up to the highest heavens; and behold, as in a glass, his spotless and most excellent visage. 17 By him are the eyes of our hearts opened; by him our foolish and darkened understanding rejoiceth to behold his wonderful light. 18 By him would God have us to taste the knowledge of immortality: who being the brightness of his glory, is by so much greater than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 19 For so it is written, who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire: 20 But to his son, thus saith the Lord, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee. 21 Ask of me and I will give thee the heathen for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession. 22 And again he saith unto him, Sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy foot-stool. 23 But who are his enemies? even the wicked, and such who oppose their own wills to the will of God. 24 Let us therefore march-on, men and brethren, with all earnestness in his holy laws. 25 Let us consider those who fight under our, earthly governors How orderly, how readily, and with what exact obedience they perform those things that are commanded them. 26 All are not generals, nor colonels, nor captains, nor inferior officers: 27 But everyone in his respective rank does what is commanded him by the king, and those who have the authority over him. 28 They who are great, cannot subsist without those that are little; nor the little without the great; 29 But there must be a mixture in all things, and then there will be use and profit too. 30 Let us, for example, take our body: the head without the feet is nothing, neither the feet without the head. 31 And even the smallest members of our body are yet both necessary and useful to the whole body. 32 But all conspire togethe
