"Oh! the blessedness of the soul that is redeemed by the word ! Oh! [the blessedness of] the trumpet of peace without wer! Obi [the blessedness of] the teaching which quenches the fire of appetite! which, (though it] makes not poets, nor fits (men) to be philosophers, nor bas samong its votaries] the orators of the crowd ; yet instructs [men], and makes the dead not to die, and lifts man from the earth [as] gods unto the region which is above the firmament. Come, be instructed, and be like me : for I too was Conceas ye are."--(Ambrose) A.N.C.L. vol. xxiv. p. 104.

"But the cause of this 18 not in the things which cannot be at one and the same time deadly and wholesome, sweet and butter; but just as each one has been formed to receive impressions from what is external, Bo he 16 affected : his condition is not caused by the influences of the things, but springs from the nature of his own senges, and connection with the external. But all this is set for from the gods, and separated from them by no small interval."--(Arnobius) A.N.C.L. vol. xix. pp 337-338.
