Admonition to the Young
.
O faithful
man of
solitary life, and practiser of true religion, learn the lessons of the
evangelic conversation, of mastery over the body, of a meek spirit, of
purity of mind, of destruction of pride. Pressed into the
service,
2091
add to your gifts,
for the Lord’s sake; robbed, never go to law; hated, love;
persecuted, endure; slandered, entreat. Be dead to sin; be
crucified to God. Cast all your care upon the Lord, that you may
be found where are tens of thousands of angels, assemblies of the
first-born, the thrones of prophets, sceptres of patriarchs, crowns of
martyrs, praises of righteous men. Earnestly desire to be
numbered with those righteous men in Christ Jesus our Lord. To
Him be glory for ever. Amen.

Ranked with
the preceding, and of dubious genuineness.
