men. You are free, don't let your liberty serve as a pretext for vice: but act as the servants

don't return evil for evil, nor calumny for calumny; on the contrary, bestow your benedictions, considering that your vocation obliges you thereto, as a means to obtain the divine blessing.

As they think it strange, that you don't concur in the same profusion of luxury, they traduce you.

My dear brethren, don't be surpriz'd at your being brought as it were to the test of fire; as if some strange thing had happen'd to you.
