By him we look up to the383 highest heavens; and behold, as in a glass, his spotless and most excellent visage.

17 By him are the eyes of our hearts opened; by him our foolish and darkened understanding rejoiceth to behold his wonderful light.

18 By him would God have us to taste the knowledge of immortality: 384who being the brightness of his glory, is by so much greater than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

But what can a mortal man do? Or what strength is there in him that is made out of the dust?
