"
Ch. 56. "Let us pray for those who are in any transgression, that
meekness and humility may be granted to them; that they may submit, not
to us, but to the will of God; for thus to them will the remembrance
towards God and the saints, with mercies, be fruitful and perfect[29]."
[Footnote 29: The original is obscure, and has been variously
rendered, [Greek: outos gar estai autois egkarpos kai teleia hae
pros ton theon kai tous hagious met oiktirmon mneia.] The Editor
refers his readers to Rom. xii. 13. "Distributing to the
necessity of saints." The received translation is this, "Sic
enim erit ipsis fructuosa et perfecta quae est apud Deum et
sanctos cum misericordia recordatio."]
Ch. 58. "The all-seeing God, the Sovereign Ruler {85} of spirits, and
the Lord of all flesh, who hath chosen the Lord Jesus, and us through
him, to be a peculiar people; grant to every soul that calleth on his
glorious and holy name, faith, fear, peace, patience, long-suffering,
self-control, purity, and temperance, to the good pleasure of his name,
through our high-priest and protector Jesus Christ; through whom to him
be glory and majesty, dominion and honour, now and for ever and ever,
world without end. Amen."
