Unto another ascetic the king said, "Ask "whatsoever thou wishest me to give to thee." He replied, "[Give me] the life which is everlasting, and *the youth which is without old age, riches which are "never ending, and the joy which is not mingled "with sorrow." And the king said, "I have not power "over these things to give them to thee," whereon the ascetic replied, "Leave me, then, to ask them of "Him that hath power over them," that is to say, from God in the world tb come. CCCXX. Another ascetic used to say, "If God had "said that He was about to punish one man only, I "should have been horribly afraid lest I might be that "man ; and similarly, if He had said that He was about "to shew mercy on one man only I should not have "despaired of being that man.

CCCXXIV. Another ascetic used to say, "In Ge- "henna there is no punishment more severe for those "who are there than the knowledge which they have "that there is no end to their punishment; and similarly "those who dwell in Paradise have no greater happiness "than the knowledge that their glory and triumph are "everlasting."
