12. Let him be such an one as was Moses, who wrote
the Ten Words of the Law. Let him be as Joshua, the son of Nun,
who subdued five kings, and brought the Gibeonites into subjection,
that he might be the figure of a Man of his own name Who was
to come, by Whose power all
fleshly lust should be overcome, and the Gentiles should be converted,
so that they might follow the faith of Jesus Christ rather than their
former pursuits and desires. Let him be as David, whom the young
maidens came to meet with songs, saying: “Saul hath
triumphed over thousands, David over ten thousands.” 1 Sam. xviii. 7.
