Nilus of Ancyra→Marianus|c. 415 AD|nilus ancyra|From Ancyra|AI-assisted
To Marianus the Bishop.
In all things the good Master's dispensation toward his own servants may be found to be great, so that even the things which seem to be grievous, and do not turn out altogether according to our wish, even these too are dispensed for the benefit of the many, by the wisdom of the Lord, hard to contemplate, and by his inscrutable judgments. But rise up against the trials which have now rushed upon you like a tempest, and be crowned, father, praying earnestly on my behalf.
