{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"c005\">The heavens, revolving under His government, are subject\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_22\">22</span>to Him in peace. Day and night run the course appointed\r\nby Him, in no wise hindering each other. The sun and\r\nmoon, with the companies of the stars, roll on in harmony\r\naccording to His command, within their prescribed limits, and\r\nwithout any deviation. The fruitful earth, according to His\r\nwill, brings forth food in abundance, at the proper seasons,\r\nfor man and beast and all the living beings upon it, never\r\nhesitating, nor changing any of the ordinances which He has\r\nfixed. The unsearchable places of abysses, and the indescribable\r\narrangements of the lower world, are restrained by the\r\nsame laws. The vast unmeasurable sea, gathered together\r\nby His working into various basins,<a id=\"r85\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f85\"><sup>[85]</sup></a> never passes beyond the\r\nbounds placed around it, but does as He has commanded.\r\nFor He said, “Thus far shalt thou come, and thy waves\r\nshall be broken within thee.”<a id=\"r86\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f86\"><sup>[86]</sup></a> The ocean, impassable to\r\nman, and the worlds beyond it, are regulated by the same\r\nenactments of the Lord. The seasons of spring, summer,\r\nautumn, and winter, peacefully give place to one another.\r\nThe winds in their several quarters<a id=\"r87\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f87\"><sup>[87]</sup></a> fulfil, at the proper\r\ntime, their service without hindrance. The ever-flowing\r\nfountains, formed both for enjoyment and health, furnish\r\nwithout fail their breasts for the life of men. The very\r\nsmallest of living beings meet together in peace and concord.\r\nAll these the great Creator and Lord of all has appointed to\r\nexist in peace and harmony; while He does good to all, but\r\nmost abundantly to us who have fled for refuge to His\r\ncompassions through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be\r\nglory and majesty for ever and ever. Amen.</p>","headings":["The Writings of the Apostolic Fathers","THE FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT.","THE FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT TO THE CORINTHIANS.","Chap. xx.—The peace and harmony of the universe."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg77576-paragraph-64"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"f730c3c07a3ee3b1ff9214b5360b5a5d21a20fb6eceb3ec9ef1fb0f3a57dbb43","edition_title":"The writings of the Apostolic Fathers","edition_translators":["Alexander Roberts","James Donaldson","Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1870,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg77576-f85","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
