THE Word of God is set forth before all men; let them who can procure it, and they can who have a godly will. For in that Word is peace; and peace on earth is to men of good will. So then whoso will procure it let him give himself. This is as it were the price of the Word, if so it may in any way be said, When he that giveth doth not lose himself and gain the Word for which he giveth himself, and gaineth himself too in the Word to whom he giveth himself.
