But as he exaggerates the charges against\r\nus, adding, after his list of those vile individuals whom he has\r\nmentioned, this remark, “What other persons would a robber\r\nsummon to himself by proclamation?” we answer such a\r\nquestion by saying that a robber summons around him individuals\r\nof such a character, in order to make use of their villany\r\nagainst the men whom they desire to slay and plunder. A\r\nChristian, on the other hand, even though he invite those whom\r\nthe robber invites, invites them to a very different vocation,\r\nviz. to bind up these wounds by His word, and to apply to the\r\nsoul, festering amid evils, the drugs obtained from the word,\r\nand which are analogous to the wine and oil, and plasters, and\r\nother healing appliances which belong to the art of medicine.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK III.","Chapter LXI."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-198"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"558019072aee9bc5b10446da5600f2a6e9142194ccb1551db6d1820c7542ff2a","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
