We have, moreover, the example of the apostles, who both loved and respected them; they suffered meekly in dungeons conformably to the will of the Emperors, and did not revolt like malefactors and traitors. We must, therefore, in imitation of these examples, suffer and be silent. Quest. 20. At what period did the custom originate, of praying to the Almighty for the prosperity of the sovereign?
