The all-merciful and beneficent Father has[*](Humility and sincerity) compassion on those that fear him, and kindly and lovingly bestows his favours on those that draw near

to him with a simple mind.

Wherefore let us not be double-minded, nor let our soul be fanciful concerning his excellent and glorious gifts.

Let this Scripture be far from us in which he says Wretched are the double-minded, who doubt in their soul and say We have heard these things even in the days of our fathers, and behold we have grown old, and none of these things has happened to us.
