and he who has forgiven his neighbor his offense, his own offenses are forgiven by God. For if we do not remember the sins which others have committed against us, neither does God remember the sins which we have committed against Him. B And one must judge justly in the fear of God. For judgment belongs to God; one must not condemn others for offenses—that is to say, to despise and loathe them, and to look out for the evils of one’s neighbor, and to justify oneself, without seeing one’s own logs, but rather producing the specks of one’s neighbor—that is to say, the minor shortcomings of our brethren; for this greatly angers God; for it is not right to judge another man’s servant; for every man belongs to God. But to judge is to be corrected in love, to snatch the wronged from the hand of him who wrongs him, to become a father to the helpless, an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame, according to what has been said, being pious and just in performing this with the proper admonition and exhortation; just as the blessed Apostle says: C "For a period of three years, night and day, I did not cease to admonish every one of you with tears" (Act. 20. 31). The Christian must flee from shameful gain, and be rather pious and holy, and attend to reading, and to exhortation, and to admonition, and to learning, according to what has been said: "Teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with grace singing in your hearts to the Lord" (Eph. 5. 19); honoring our parents, that we may be long-lived upon the earth, and not to speak evil of father or mother, but to provide also for our own, and especially for those of the household of the faith. And he who does not absent himself from ecclesiastical gatherings—that is, from the common synaxes and prayers—but offers prayers to God publicly before all the people, and does not despise wise exhortations or godly teachings, nor judges the wonders and works of God to be unbelievable or impossible, D as they are worked throughout each generation, considering this; he who acts thus, and thus has God in his heart, in prudence, shall inherit the kingdom prepared for the saints from the foundation of the world, which shall never have an end, of which may we all attain, by the grace and loving-kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and power unto the ages of ages. Amen.
NOTICE CONCERNING THE FOLLOWING LITURGY
We present here the liturgy which Savile edited at the end of his sixth volume, page 383. This differs entirely from the one found in the published Morellian edition, volume four, page 522, which bears this inscription: "The holy Mass of Saint John Chrysostom, translated by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam for the benefit of the Bishop of Rochester." Yet the one we provide after Savile almost entirely agrees with that which Goar edited in his *Euchologion* with very extensive commentaries. Regarding this, one must hear Savile in the notes of his eighth volume, page 828: "I leave the whole theological debate concerning the liturgy to the theologians; content to have only given this warning, that there is a strange inconstancy in the manuscript codices. For what does the version of Erasmus and the Morellian edition have in common? Moreover, many things which are elsewhere in the works of Chrysostom taken from the liturgy which the Church used at that time [are missing here; many things appear here which scarcely seem to belong to those times.]" [alt-version omitted]ORDER OF THE DIVINE SACRIFICE OF OUR HOLY FATHER JOHN CHRYSOSTOM
The priest, about to perform the divine mystery, must be previously confessed and reconciled with all, and must have kept his heart clean, as much as in his power, from evil thoughts, having fasted since the evening, and having kept watch until the time of the sacred service. When the time arrives, after performing the customary prostration to the superior, he enters the church, and joined by the deacon, they make together three prostrations towards the east before the icon of the Savior and the all-holy Theotokos, and one to each of the two choirs. When they prostrate, they say this prayer in secret: "Lord our God, send forth thy hand from thy holy dwelling-place, and strengthen me for this thy proposed service, that standing blameless before thy fearful throne, I may perform the bloodless service; for thine is the power and the glory unto the ages of ages. Amen." Having come to the sanctuary, each takes his own sticharion in his hands, and they make three prostrations toward the east, saying to themselves: "God be merciful to me a sinner" (Luc. 18. 13). Then the deacon approaches the priest, bowing his head, holding also in his right hand the
