O reverend elder that wast tenser-strung than the flame, thou great king over the passions, Eleazar.

Yea, by this means even young boys, being philosophers by virtue of the Reason which is according to righteousness, have triumphed over yet more grievous tortures.

For they were despisers of the passions and masters over pain.

But if the old men of the Hebrews endured the tortures for righteousness' sake, yea, until they died, more befittingly will we young men die despising the torments of thy compulsion, over which he our aged teacher also triumphed.

War a holy and honourable warfare on behalf of righteousness, through which may the just Providence that watched over our fathers become merciful unto his people and take vengeance on the accursed tyrant.'

As he spake thus the guards bound him and brought him before the catapult; and they tied him thereto on his knees, and, fastening them there with iron clamps, they wrenched his loins over the rolling 'wedge' so that he was completely curled back like a scorpion and every joint was disjointed.

If therefore the seven brethren despised the tortures even to the death, it is universally proved that the Inspired Reason is supreme lord over the passions.

And it is impossible to deny the supremacy of the mind; for they won the victory over their passions and their pains. 19 How can we do otherwise than admit right Reason's mastery over passion with these men who shrank not before the agonies of burning?

And think it not wonderful if with those men Reason triumphed over the tortures, when even a woman's soul despised a yet greater diversity of pains; for the mother of the seven youths endured the torments inflicted on each several one of her children.

REASON of the sons, lord over the passions! O religion, that wast dearer to the mother than her children!

Thus then, if one both a woman and advanced in years, and the mother of seven sons, endured the sight of her children being tortured to death, the Inspired Reason must confessedly be supreme ruler over the passions.

I have proved, accordingly, that not only have men triumphed over their sufferings, but that a woman also has despised the most dreadful tortures.

For there is this also to consider, that had the woman been weak of spirit, despite her motherhood, she might have wept over them, and perchance spoken thus:

But the holy and God-fearing mother wailed not with this lamentation over any one of them, neither besought she any to escape death, nor lamented over them as dying men; but, as though she had a soul of adamant and were bringing forth the number of her sons, for a second time, into immortal life, she besought rather and entreated of them that they should die for religion's sake.

And indeed it were fitting to inscribe these words over their resting-place, speaking for a memorial to future generations of our people:

And these men, therefore, having sanctified themselves for God's sake, not only have received this honour, but also the honour that through them the enemy had no more power over our people, and the tyrant suffered punishment, and our country was purified, they having as it were become a ransom for our nation's sin; and through the blood of these righteous men and the propitiation of their death, the divine Providence delivered Israel that before was evil entreated.

O Israelites, children born of the seed of Abraham, obey this Law, and be righteous in all ways, recognizing that Inspired Reason is lord over the passions, and over pains, not only from within, but from without ourselves; by which means those men, delivering up their bodies to the torture for righteousness' sake, not only won the admiration of mankind, but were deemed worthy of a divine inheritance.

'I was a pure maiden, and I strayed not from my father's house, and I kept guard over the rib that was builded into Eve.

And it is not (possible) that he should change it and put it in another place: because he hath no power over it:

As the hand moves over the harp, and the strings speak.

For it spread over the face of the whole earth, and filled everything: and all the thirsty upon earth were given to drink of it;

As the impulse of anger against evil, so is the impulse of joy over what is lovely, and brings in of its fruits without restraint:

And set over it the traces of His light, and I walked therein from the beginning even to the end.

And I was enriched by His bounty, and I forsook the folly which is diffused over the earth; and I stripped it off and cast it from me:

And He made the sun for the day that it may be bright, but night brings darkness over the face of the land;

And I went over all my bondmen to loose them; that I might not leave any man bound or binding:

My heart ran over and was found in my mouth: and it arose upon my lips; and the exultation of the Lord increased on my face, and His praise likewise. Hallelujah.

He who gave me authority over bonds that I might loose them;

He that overthrew by my hands the dragon with seven heads: and thou hast set me over his roots that I might destroy his seed.

Because it was not permitted to them to loose its seal: for the power that was over the seal was greater than they.

But a wheel received it and came over it:

And it gathered the multitude of adversaries, and bridged the rivers and crossed over and rooted up many forests and made a broad path.

The Dove fluttered over the Messiah, because He was her head; and she sang over Him and her voice was heard:

The Dove fluttered over the Messiah, because He was her head; and she sang over Him and her voice was heard:

As the wings of doves over their nestlings; and the mouth of their nestlings towards their mouths.

So also are the wings of the Spirit over my heart:

And the cloud of peace He caused to rise over my head, which guarded me continually;

And I lifted up over them the yoke of my love;

Like the arm of the bridegroom over the bride,

So was my yoke over those that know me:

So is my love over those that believe in me.
