The opening
CHAPTER I. Of the infiitution of the CiMercian Order.
OF CONVERSION
Of the infiitution of the CiMercian Order.
I desire to speak of conversion, and therefore I invoke the aid of Him, who speaketh peace to His people and to His saints (Ps. lxxxv, 8), and to those who are converted at the heart. He it is who inspireth what should be written, who guideth the pen, who beStoweth the rewards of toil. From Him cometh the conversion to salvation, because His mercy turneth away His wrath from those His power hath converted.
Novice. —Before beginning your discourse upon conversion, will you please tell me where, and by whom, and under what pressure our Order was founded, so that having thus laid the foundation you may build the spiritual walls upon it with those living, polished and precious Slones that have been vouchsafed to the earth?
