Therefore did the Lord give him an inheritance, and assign him a part among the twelve tribes; and he found grace in the sight of all flesh. And he made him great to the terror of his enemies, and by his words he tamed monsters. He rendered him glorious in the presence of kings, and gave him his commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory. For his faith and meekness he sanctified him, and made choice of him among all flesh : and publicly gave him his precepts, and the law of life and discipline, and highly exalted him. He settled with him an eternal covenant, and encompassed him with the girdle of righteousness, and the Lord hath put on hin a crown of glory. GRAD. Ps. cxi.

I will not now call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you. You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have ap pointed you that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoev er you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
