Let us therefore consider how great is the grace he has bestowed upon us, and let us show
as great earnestness ourselves, or, since this is not possible, some, although it be less. For if
after this grace we are insensible, the heavier will be our punishment. “For if I,” He says,
“had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin, but now they have no cloak
for their sin.” (John xv. 22.) But God forbid that this should be said of us, and grant that we
may all be thought worthy of the blessings promised to those who have loved Him, in Jesus
Christ our Lord, &c.
