You know the story of my past career in Judaism; you know how furiously I persecuted the church of God and harried it,

and how I outstripped many of my own age and race in my special ardour for the ancestral traditions of my house.

but now that you know God ??or rather, are known by God ??how is it you are turning back again to the weakness and poverty of the Elemental spirits? Why do you want to be enslaved all over again by them?
