I pray that I may not be unworthy of the expectations you have formed of me, and that you will enjoy a full reward for the honour which you pay me in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I was exceedingly pleased to hear that you have been occupied in a matter eminently becoming a Christian, have raised a house to the glory of God, and have in practical earnest loved, as it is written, \u201cthe beauty of the house of the Lord,\u201d 2170 and have so provided for yourself that heavenly mansion which is prepared in His rest for them that love the Lord. If I am able to find any relics of martyrs, I pray that I may take part in your earnest endeavour. If \u201cthe righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance,\u201d 2171 I shall without doubt have a share in the good fame which the Holy One will give you.\nOf about the same date as the preceding.\n153:2170\nPs. xxvi. 8, LXX.\n153:2171","title":"Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser.
