dove." ^ For this purpose thou art composed of both
soul and body, art both fleshly and spiritual, that thou
mayest correct those [evils] that present themselves visi-
bly before thee ; and as respects those that are not seen,
mayest pray that these should be revealed to thee, so
that thou mayest be wanting in nothing, but mayest
abound in every gift. The times call upon thee to pray.
For as the wind aids the pilot of a ship, and as havens
are advantageous for safety to a tempest-tossed vessel, so
is also prayer to thee, in order that thou mayest attain
to God. Be sober as an athlete of God, whose will is
immortality and eternal life ; of which thou art also per-
suaded. In all things may my soul be for thine,5 and my
bonds also, which thou hast loved.
