than foreign ones. You find in the Gospel that the Son Himself
says of the Father (when He had sent His servants to His vineyard, and
they had been slain), that the Father said, “I will send My
well-beloved Son, perchance they will reverence Him.” S. Matt. xxi. 37. And in another place the Son says of
Himself: “Ye know neither Me nor My Father; for if ye knew
Me, ye would perchance know My Father also.” S. John viii. 19.
