DR.. Paden said:
Yea and for this very cause giving on
your part all diligence, add TO your falt9
virtue: and to your virtue knowledge; and
TO your knowledge temperance; and TO
your temperance patience; and 20 your
brotherly kindness; and to your brotherly
kindness charity. For if these things be
in you and abound, they make you to be
not idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge
of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
We salute you with the greeting or 81
Peter: ITO all that have obtained ike
and Savior Jesus Christ: grace to you
and peace be multiplied in the knowledge
of God and Jesus our Lord And as we
remember the bountifUl provisions or dl-
vine grace to reward, we take uD ST
Peters plea. as our call to service see
ing that God hath granted unto us eX-
ceeding great and precious promises; see
l ing that he hath granted unto us al
! things that pertain to life and goodness,
diligence. let US add to our faith virtue;
and to our virtue knowledge, and on until
we have reached that divinest OF Sraces,
