9. But whither am I going, in my immoderate grief, forgetful of my duty, mindful of kindness received? The Apostle calls me back, and as it were puts a bit upon my sorrow, saying, as you heard just now: “We would not that ye should be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that sleep, that ye be not sorrowful, as the rest which have no hope.” 1 Thess. iv. 14. Pardon me, dearest brethren. For we are not all able to say: “Be ye imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.” 1 Cor. iv. 16. But if you seek one to imitate, you have One Whom you may imitate. All are not fitted to teach, would that all were apt to learn.
