C.1. Glory to God Most High, full of Grace and Mercy:

He created All, including Man.

To Man He gave a special peace in His creation.

He honoured man to be His Agent,

And to that end, endued him with understanding,

Purified his affections, and gave him spiritual insight;

So that man should understand Nature,

Understand himself,

And know God through His wondrous Signs,

And glorify Him in Truth, reverence, and unity.
