S. AUGUST. Manu. cap. 24.
O my soul stampt with the image of thy God; love him of whom thou art so much beloved: bend to him that boweth to thee, seek him that seeketh thee: Love thy lover, by whose love thou art prevented, being the cause of thy love: Be carefull with those that are carefull, want with those that want; be clean with the clean, and holy with the holy: choose this sriend above all friends, who when all are taken away remaineth onely faithfull to thee: In the day of thy buriall, when all leave thee, he will not deceive thee, but defend thee from the roaring Lions prepared sor their prey.
