1Moyses and Aaron. Moyses by whom the Law was given, and Aaron in whom Priesthood was established, signified good works, and the right worship of God. Of which (saith St. Jerome) each one needeth the other. For neither doth it profit thee to exercise virtues unless thou knowest thy Creator: nor the worshipping of God availeth thee to salvation, unless thou fulfil the precepts of thy Maker. By these two hands, as with two Seraphims we break out into confession of the holy Trinity, saying: Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts. Epistle to Fabiola, on the 42 Mansions.
