ixx'. therefore thou hast nothing, which thou hast not received. Be not high-minded, but fear. And love not thou little, as &om. though Him by Whom little hath been forgiven to thee;^^'^* but, rather, love Him much, by Whom much hath been given to thee. For if he loves, unto whom it hath been given not to repay : how much more ought he to love, unto whom it hath been given to possess. For both, whosoever continues chaste from the beginning, is ruled by Him; and whosoever is made chaste instead ...of unchaste, is corrected by Him ; and whosoever is unchaste even unto the end, is abandoned by Him. But this He can do by secret counsel, by unrighteous He cannot: and perhaps it is for this end that it lies hid, that there may be more fear, and less pride. 44. Next let not man, now that he knoweth that by the xliii. grace of God he is what he is, fall into another snare of pride, so as by lifting up himself for the very grace of God to despise the rest.
