sin, but I should earn good desert, however much I so spake. For a man blessed of Thee would not enjoin a sin upon his own true son in the faith, to whom he wrote, " Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season."^ Are we to say that he has not spoken much, who was not silent about Thy word, 0 Lord, not only in season, but out of season? But therefore it was not much, because it was only what was necessary. Set me free, O God, from that multitude of speech which I suffer inwardly in my soul, wretched as it is in Thy sight, and flying for refuge to Thy mercy; for I am not silent in thoughts, even when silent in words. And if, indeed, I thought of nothing save what pleased Thee, certainly I would not ask Thee to set me free from such multitude of speech. But many are my thoughts, such as Thou knowest, " thoughts of man, since they are vain."^ Grant to me not to consent to them; and if ever 440 ON THE TRINITY. [BOOK XV.
they delight me, nevertheless to condemn them, and not to dwell in them, as though I slumbered. 'Not let them so prevail in me, as that anything in my acts should proceed from them; but at least let my opinions, let my conscience, be safe from them, under Thy protection. When the wise man spake of Thee in his book, which is now called by the special name of Ecclesiasticus, " We speak," he said, " much, and yet come short; and in sum of words, He is all."^ When, therefore, we shall have come to Thee, these very many things that we speak, and yet come short, will cease; and Thou, as one, wilt remain " all in all." ^ And we shall say one thing without end, in praising Thee in one, ourselves also made one in Thee. 0 Lord the one God, God the Trinity, whatever I have said in these books that is of Thine, may they acknow- ledge who are Thine; if anything of my own, may it be par- doned both by Thee and by those who are Thine. Amen.

MESSES. CLAIiK are now happy to announee tlie completion of this Series. It has been received with marked approval by all sections of the Christian Church in this country and in the United States, as supplying what has long been felt to be a want, and also on account of the impartiality, learning, and care with which Editors and Translators have executed a very difficult task.
Each work is supplied with a good and full Index; but, to add to the value of the completed Series, an Index Volume is prepar- ing for the whole Series, which will be sold separately to those who may desire it, at a moderate price.
The Publishers, however, do not bind themsehes to continue to supply the Series at the Subscription price.
Single Years cannot be had separately, unless to complete sets; but any Volume may be had separately, price 10s. 6d., — with the exception of Opjgen, VoL II., 12s.; and the Early Liturgies, 9s.
'The series of translations from Ante-Nicene Fathers, for which not professed scholars and divines only, but all the educated class, have to thank Messrs. Clark, is now com- pleted. We cannot allow that series to come to a close without expressing marked satis- faction...that there should be so high a standard of r^al scholarship and marked ability sustained throughout the whole undertaking. It is really not too Mich *-" sa> that Messrs. Clark have fairly establit^hed a claim for themselves to be enrolled lu that goodly list of great printers who have made a mark in literature by large and enlightened enterprise.' — Guardian.
