Acts of the Martyrs and Saints, Volume 6

He who [is] like Him, and he mocks him: [he] who [has] deceived his soul from building from grace. In him who [is] exalted, [he] loves that which receives the earth 1. And this. and his misery: the building is not established for the faces of his sin. In that which the prophet is, [he] is a prophet, as he who shines so that he may receive him: in that, he will rejoice, O sinner, as life [is] to him. And being inflamed in love, the soul does not wonder: that he may drive out the place which is like mine [to] death, [in which] you are cast. That which is for me, a side and a mystery in the sun, [he] did not see: that you may drive him out, he who is not cast [there] and does not suffer. In that [which] is cast, as for me, a building in it, [he] was weeping: that he might exalt that which willed for the glory of God. Rejoicing was he who stands for the world in lives: as an image and the image commands one in his lives. And in his lives, they shall rule in the world [but] it is not worthy of him: that he was sitting in it [while] he was without fear of its likenesses. In the birth of the soul, his thought flutters, he who is a prophet to him: where he goes, you keep him, that they are righteous 2. A person.. Concerning him who feared that in fear the soul wonders: that without a book, [it] was not a mystery that he was meditating. In that [which] is cast, let us all show to your knowledge: in the books and in the vessels which he was serving. To him who is that life, O blessed one, to the Judge [to] him: and let us show two [things] that are sitting upon his glory. Life flutters, not even in the lives of the world [he] manifests: he makes for him one of the images and [he] is not cast. In that [which] is cast, which in fear that he loved him: he will love.
