XLVI.
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no
meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger,
and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and ye
visited me not: I was in prison, and ye came not unto me. I
made your ears that ye might hear the Scriptures; and ye prepared them
for the songs of demons, and lyres, and jesting. I made your eyes
that you might see the light of my commandments, and keep them; and ye
called in fornication and wantonness, and opened them to all other
manner of uncleanness. I prepared your mouth for the utterance of
adoration, and praise, and psalms, and spiritual odes, and for the
exercise of continuous reading; and ye fitted it to railing, and
swearing, and blasphemies, while ye sat and spoke evil of your
neighbours. I made your hands that ye might stretch them forth in
prayers and supplications, and ye put them forth to robberies, and
murders, and the killing of each other. I ordained your feet to
walk in the preparation of the Gospel of peace, both in the churches
and the houses of my saints; and ye taught them to run to adulteries,
and fornications, and theatres, and dancings, and elevations.
