Side 6 - Origen* has with singular sagacity observed, that "he who believes the Scripture to have proceeded from him who is the Author of nature, may well expect to find the same sort of difficulties in it as are found in the constitution of nature.
Side 309 - It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, That thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Side 317 - And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.
Side 238 - Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Side lix - It is come, I know not how, to be taken for granted, by many persons, that Christianity is not so much as a subject of inquiry ; but that it is, now at length, discovered to be fictitious.
