Side 93 - Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Side 43 - Set me as a seal upon thine heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as the grave: The coals thereof are coals of fire, Which hath a most vehement flame.
Side 133 - Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels...
Side 95 - God, the light, melody, fragrance, meat, embracement of my inner man : where there shineth unto my soul, what space cannot contain, and there soundeth, what time beareth not away, and there smelleth, what breathing disperseth not, and there tasteth, what eating diminisheth not, and there clingeth, what satiety divorceth not.

Side 133 - Christ, did not spend their lives so wickedly that they can be judged unworthy of such compassion, nor so well that they can be considered to have no need of it. As, also, after the resurrection, there will be some of the dead to whom, after they have endured the pains proper to the spirits of the dead, mercy will be accorded, and acquittal from the punishment of eternal fire.
Side 24 - Then shall also the Son be subject unto Him who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Side 96 - Thou hadst made. Thou wert with me, but I was not with Thee. Things held me far from Thee, which, unless they were in Thee, were not at all.
Side 94 - Thee, Who art able to do above that which we ask or think;" for she perceived that Thou hadst given her more for me, than she was wont to beg by her pitiful and most sorrowful groanings.
