R.C. “If then
there is present among you any from among the Heathen who has ever
spoken evil against Christians, or in times of persecution plotted
against the Holy Churches, let him take Nabuchodonsor as an example of
salvation: let him confess in like manner, that he may also find
the like forgiveness. If any has been defiled by lust and
passions, let him take up the repentance of the blessed David: if
any has denied like Peter, let him die like him for the sake of the
Lord Jesus. For He who to his tears begrudged not the
Apostleship, will not refuse thee the gospel mysteries. And for
women let Rahab be a pattern unto salvation, and for men the manifold
examples mentioned of the men of old times.
