Page 96 - Hoc enim optimum et valde congruentissimum esse videbitur, si ad caput, id est, ad Petri Apostoli sedem, de singulis quibusque provinciis Domini referant sacerdotes.
Page 131 - Antioch, the passion for seclusion, to which many of his contemporaries yielded, seized upon him, the more strongly because his nearest friend had determined upon withdrawing from the world. Thus moved, Chrysostom resolved to resign the affections of home for the penances of a hermitage, where his best aspirations, as he thought, could have their only opportunity of being realized. Most Heathen mothers, prepared to see their children leading troubled, if not polluted lives, would have rejoiced to...
Page 148 - the meekest of men, thus friendly and mildly addressed himself to Paulinus : "Forasmuch as the Lord hath committed to me the care of these sheep, and thou hast received the care of others, and all the sheep agree in one common faith, let us join our flocks, my friend, and dispute no longer about primacy and government, but let us feed the sheep in common, and bestow a common care upon them.
Page 190 - Oft-times when we had come, (for no man was forbidden to enter, nor was it his wont that any who came should be announced to him,) we saw him thus reading to himself, and never otherwise ; and having long sat silent, (for who durst intrude on one so intent ?) we were fain to depart, conjecturing, that in the small interval, which he obtained, free from the din of others...
Page 36 - The bishop, he is the minister of the word, the keeper of knowledge, the mediator between God and you in the several parts of your divine worship. He is the teacher of piety; and, next after God, he is your father, who has begotten you again to the adoption of sons by water and the Spirit. He is...
Page 190 - Nor did he know the tides of my feelings, or the abyss of my danger. For I could not ask of him, what I would as I would, being shut out both from his ear and speech by multitudes of busy people, whose weaknesses he served. With whom when he was not taken up, (which was but a little time,) he was either refreshing his body with the sustenance absolutely necessary, or his mind with reading.
Page 36 - So therefore shalt thou do as the Lord has appointed, and shalt give to the priest what things are due to him, the first-fruits of thy floor, and of thy wine-press, and sin-offerings, as to the mediator between God and such as stand in need of purgation and forgiveness. For it is thy duty to give, and his to administer, as being the administrator and disposer of ecclesiastical affairs. Yet shalt thou not call thy bishop to account, nor watch his administration, how he does it, when, or to whom, or...
Page 37 - Bishop to account, nor watch his administration how he performeth it, when, or to whom, or where, or whether he do it 24 Cone.
Page 204 - Which when he had done, and put to his eyes, they were forthwith opened. Thence did the fame spread, thence Thy praises glowed, shone ; thence the mind of that enemy, though not turned to the soundness of believing, was yet turned back from her fury of persecuting. Thanks to Thee, O my God.
Page 203 - Then didst Thou by a vision discover to Thy forenamed Bishop where the bodies of Gervasius and Protasius the martyrs lay hid, (whom Thou hadst in Thy secret treasury stored uncorrupted so many years,) whence Thou mightest seasonably produce them to repress the fury of a woman, but an Empress.
