Side 29 - Samuel, and of the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Side 396 - And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars, and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth ; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Side 223 - Defend the poor and fatherless : see that such as are in need and necessity have right. 4 Deliver the outcast and poor : save them from the hand of the ungodly. 5 They will not be learned nor understand, but walk on still in darkness : all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6 I have said, Ye are gods : and ye are all the children of the most Highest.

Side 104 - ... to boast of reading the whole code of Scripture, Old as well as New, in the language in which it was read and spoken by the Apostles. The humblest peasant who reads his Septuagint or Greek Testament in his own mother-tongue on the hills of Boeotia may proudly feel that he has access to the original oracles of divine truth which pope and cardinal reach by a barbarous and imperfect translation...
Side 423 - I not experience ! wounding my feet and my hands, and breaking my head against trees. But the Lord watched over me. " In hunting, amidst the thickest forests, how many times have I myself caught wild horses, and bound them together ! How many times have I been thrown down by buffaloes, wounded by the antlers of stags, and trodden under the feet of elks ! A furious wild boar rent my sword from my baldrick ; my saddle was torn to pieces by a bear; this terrible beast rushed upon my courser, whom he...
Side 36 - ... is now to be found in the " laity;" if the Biblical usage of the phrase "Ecclesia" literally justifies Tertullian's definition, Ubi tres sunt laid, ibiest ecdesia; then the range of the history of the Church is as wide as the range of the world which it was designed to penetrate, as the whole body which its name includes.
