Hagio-mimesis The imitation of the saints

The Noun (here,¹ as elsewhere) [Greek or Hebrew] followers, is derived from the same verb which is used, ch. 13.7. [Greek or Hebrew]. which signifies to work according to pattern; a metaphor borrowed from Stage-plays, where the Actors study exactly, and to the life, to express the gestures and dispositions of the persons whom they represent; or else from Apes, who do naturally love to imitate the actions and gestures of men. Thus the Apostle calls Christians to an exact and unfeigned imitation of the Saints of God, whether departed and in Heaven, or yet surviving in the Land of the living.
