QUOTATIONS AND REFERENCES. 175<br />

/ write to all the churches, and charge all men that by my onm 7inll I die<br />

for God, if it be thai ye hiider [me] not {Rovi. 3, 4).<br />

And after a few [words].<br />

It is better for me to die for the sake of Jesus Christ than to reign<br />

over the ends of the earth. I seek Him who died for us ; I desire Him<br />

who rose on our account. The birth is appoitited for me. Leave me<br />

alone, my brethren. Do not hinder me from life : do not desire that I<br />

should die. Do not give the world to him who desireth to be God''s,<br />

neither entice me by any thing inaterial. Leave me to receive the pjire<br />

light. IVhen I go thither, I shall be a man. Permit ye me to be an<br />

imitator of the sufferiiig of my God. If any oie possess himself in hijnself,<br />

let hin understand what I desire, and suffer with me, knowing those<br />

things which encompass me {Rom. 6).<br />
