61 But would you know whothey are that were cut out, andcast afar off from the
tower?
9 Then she, smiling upon me,said: the desire of naughtinesshas risen up
in thy heart.
21 Cast all your care upon theLord, and he will direct them.
Now
the writing was this:--9 Thy seed, O Hermas!
93 But she cried out with a
loudvoice, saying, O foolish man!
The heightof the beast was about a
hundredfeet, and he had a head like alarge earthen vessel. 19 Go, therefore,
and relate tothe elect of God the great thingsthat he hath done for thee. I
answered her; Lady,let those who are elder sit first. 31 And she called me unto
her,and touched my breast, and saidunto me, Did my reading pleasethee? I am,
said he,that shepherd to whose care youare delivered.
28 Wherefore do not thou
ceaseto speak these thing in the ears ofthe saints.
47 I asked her, saying, I
wouldknow the condition of the stones,and what the meaning of themis? Does it
notseem to thee to be a very wisething to repent? Andthou shalt say unto them,
that thisbeast is the figure of the trial thatis about to come.
Andwhat, lady,
said I, are the otherfive?
7 But give to all, for God willhave us give to all,
of all his owngifts. And I said, Because,sir, I doubt whether I can be
saved.
Now the writing was this:--9 Thy seed, O Hermas!
Howthen can I live,
seeing I have donein this manner?
6 And I beheld a bench placed;it was a linen
pillow, and over itspread a covering of fine linen.
41 I asked her, Lady, why
is thetower built upon the water? 58 But who are those whom theyrejected, and
laid beside the tower?
111 I was therefore very sadconcerning these things,
until Imight understand the vision.
