"[W]e read in the Books of the Kings how the holy Josiah, going
about the kingdom given to him by God, correcting and admonishing, strove to
recall the people to the worship of the true God; not that I can make myself
his equal in holiness, but that we must ever follow the example of the holy men
everywhere ..."
