CHAPTER LVII

HE RENDERS PRAISE TO GOD, WHO HAS GIVEN LIGHT BY HIS SON TO THOSE WHO WERE IN ERROR

“AND truly our worship is one of no novel or recent character, but such as Thou hast ordained in connexion with the honour due to Thyself from the time when, as we believe, this fair system of the universe was first fitly framed. And, although mankind have deeply fallen, and have been seduced by manifold errors, yet hast Thou revealed a pure light in the person of Thy Son (lest the power of evil should utterly prevail), and hast thus given testimony to all men concerning Thyself.
