True rev'rence is, as Cassiodore doth prove,
The fear of God commix'd with cleanly love.
Cassiodore, Marcus Aurelius Cassiodorus, theologian and statesman 497-575?
148. MERCY.
Mercy, the wise Athenians held to be
Not an affection, but a deity.
149. WAGES.
After this life, the wages shall
Not shared alike be unto all.
150. TEMPTATION.
God tempteth no one, as St. Austin saith,
For any ill, but for the proof of faith;
Unto temptation God exposeth some,
But none of purpose to be overcome.
