Afterwards busy not thyself about unprofitable
matters: neither, what the city has done, nor the village, nor
the King The title
“King” (Βασιλεύς) is used
in the Greek Liturgies and Fathers of the Roman Emperor, as in the
Clementine Liturgy: ὑπὲρ
τοῦ βασιλέως,
καὶ τῶν ἐν
ὑπεροχῇ, where it is taken
from 1 Tim. ii. 2. Compare Cat. xiv. 14, and
22: Κωνσταντίνου
τοῦ
βασιλέως., nor the Bishop, nor
the Presbyter. Look upward; that is what thy present hour
needeth. Be still Ps. xlvi. 10. Sept. σχολάσατε,
“give attention freely.”, and know that I
am God. If thou seest the believers ministering, and shewing
no care, they enjoy security, they know what they have received, they
are in possession of grace. But thou standest just now in the
turn of the scale, to be received or not: copy not those who have
freedom from anxiety, but cherish fear.
