30. We are
instructed and taught that “what is seemly” Cic. de Off.
I. 27. is put in our Scriptures in the first
place. (In Greek it is called πρέπον.) For we
read: “A Hymn beseems Thee, O God, in Sion.” In
Greek this is: Σοί
πρέπει ὕμνος
ὁ θεὸς ἐν
Σιών. Ps. lxv. [lxiv.]
1.
And the Apostle says: “Speak the things which become sound
doctrine.” Tit. ii. 1. And
elsewhere: “For it beseemed Him through Whom are all things
and for Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make
the Captain of their salvation perfect through
sufferings.” Heb. ii. 10.
