      No such good news to heaven as this; not only approbation, but joy in heaven over one such convert prodigal: the music that Pythagoras talks of in the orbs, was that of the minstrels which our Saviour mentions at the return of that prodigal, to solemnize the euge's, the passionate welcomes of heaven poured out on penitents.
