[106] 31 τοιούτου κατασκευασθέντος οἴκου παρὰ τῷ θνητῷ
γένει, χρηστῶν ἐλπίδων τἀπίγεια πάντα ἀναπλησθήσεται κάθοδον δυνάμεων θεοῦ προσδοκήσαντα· αἱ δὲ νόμους ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ καὶ θεσμοὺς ἐπιφερόμεναι τοῦ καθαγιάσαι καὶ καθιερῶσαι χάριν ἀφίξονται κατὰ τὴν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ἐπικέλευσιν· εἶθ’ ὁμοδίαιτοι καὶ ὁμοτράπεζοι ταῖς φιλαρέτοις γενόμεναι ψυχαῖς σπείρουσιν ἐν αὐταῖς γένος τὸ εὔδαιμον,
καθὰ καὶ Ἀβραὰμ τῷ σοφῷ τῆς παρ’ αὐτῷ καταγωγῆς τὸν Ἰσαὰκ τελειοτάτην χάριν δεδώρηνται.

Such a house then being prepared in the race of mankind, all things on earth will be filled with good hopes, expecting the return of the powers of God; and they will come, bringing laws from heaven, and bonds, for the purpose of sanctifying and hallowing it, according to the command of their Father; then becoming the associates and constant companions of these souls which love virtue, they sow in them the genus of happiness: as they gave to the wise Abraham his son Isaac as the most perfect proof of their gratitude for the hospitality which they experienced from him.
