Saint Augustine writeth of himself, that before he became christened, a friend of his offered him the Scripture to look upon: but he, after he had read a little, because he felt in himself no lack of it, he despised it, and •long it from him. Afterward he began to find much folly in himself, and because he could see no redress, he fell to weeping and prayer. In the middest of his mourning and groaning, he heard a voyce, Tolle, lege: tolle, lege. Take up, and read: take up, & 1read. He marvelled much what it should be. At the last, he took up a book that lay by him of Paul's Epistles, and the first words that he set ⟨image 85⟩his eyes upon, were these, Induimini dominū Jesum Christū, Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.
