But  when  the  word  comes,  and  is  poured  into  the  hearers,  and
they  not  only  hear,  but  are  made  obedient,  the  soul  rises  from
its  death  to  its  life — that  is,  from  unrighteousness,  from  folly,
from  ungodliness,  to  its  God,  who  is  to  it  wisdom,  righteous-
ness, light.  Let  it  rise  to  Him,  and  be  enlightened  by  Him.
