liEhteth every man that cometh into

you despise one OF these little ones.
Listen not to the Pharisee when he
says: Except the little child be con.
Vertod and become as I am. he shall
In no"lse enter into the kingdom OF
heaven. But listen to the voice of him
who knew what is in man, when he
said: Except ye be converted. We
