Pray for all men ; for there is hope of repent- ance for them, that they may be counted wor- thy of God. By your works especially let them be instructed. Against their harsh words be ye conciliatory, by meekness of mind and gentle- ness. Against their blasphemies do ye give your- selves to prayer ; and against their error be ye armed with faith. Against their fierceness be ye peaceful and quiet, and be ye not astounded by them. Let us, then, be imitators of our Lord in meekness, and strive who shall more especially be injured, and oppressed, and defrauded.
