XXVIII. As she said this, Andrew,

‹ Section 27 Section 29 ›

the

apostle

of

the

Lord

,

also

came

journeying

to

that

place

,

and

as

he

drew

near

to

Polyxena

he

felt

in

his

heart

some

commotion

arising

in

himself

.

Standing

,

therefore

,

to

pray

,

and

folding

his

arms

in

the

shape

of

the

cross

,

he

said

,

Lord

Jesus

Christ

,

partaker

of

light

and

knower

of

things

hidden

,

from

whom

nothing

on

earth

is

hid

,

do

unto

me

kindness

and

mercy

,

and

make

clear

to

me

this

commotion

of

heart

,

and

calm

my

reason

,

thou

that

makest

peace

always

with

those

that

love

peace

.

Then

Polyxena

ran

to

him

,

and

Andrew

,

the

apostle

of

the

Lord

,

said

to

her

,

Approach

me

not

,

daughter

,

but

tell

me

who

and

whence

thou

art

.

Polyxena

said

,

My

lord

,

I

am

a

stranger

here

,

but

I

see

thy

face

is

gracious

,

and

thy

words

as

the

words

of

Paul

,

and

I

suppose

thee

to

be

of

the

same

God

.

Andrew

understood

that

she

spoke

of

the

apostle

Paul

,

and

said

to

her

,

And

whence

dost

thou

know

of

Paul

?

She

said

,

From

my

own

country

,

for

I

left

him

in

Spain

.

Andrew

said

to

her

,

And

how

happenest

thou

to

be

here

,

the

country

being

far

distant

?

She

said

,

Because

it

was

thus

appointed

for

me

,

and

came

to

pass

;

but

I

beseech

thee

and

fall

at

thy

feet

,

seal

me

,

as

Paul

seals

,

by

the

baptism

of

regeneration

,

so

that

even

I

,

lowly

one

,

may

be

known

by

our

God

,

for

the

kind

God

,

seeing

my

tribulation

and

distress

,

sent

thee

to

pity

me

.

Andrew

,

the

great

apostle

of

the

Lord

,

said

to

her

,

Let

us

go

,

daughter

,

where

there

is

water

.
