C. And ooneeming Uub was spoken what was said by the

Saviour :
* the Heavens, who maketh His sun to rise on righteous and unrighteous, and sendeth rain on saints and sinners." ^
H. And who are the saints on whom He sendeth rain and the sinners on whom He also sendeth rain— this also he tells subse- quently with the rest
