Which bishop,^ I know, obtained the ministry which pertains to the common [weal], not of himself, neither by men,-* nor through vainglory, but by the love of God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ ; at whose meekness I am struck with admiration, and who by his silence is able to ac- complish more than those who vainly talk. For he is in harmony with the commandments [of God], even as the harp is with its strings. Where- ■ fore my soul declares his mind to- wards God a happy one, knowing it to be virtuous .and perfect, and that his stability as well as freedom from all anger is after the example of the in- finite'' meekness of the livina: God.
