Side 266 - Christianity came not to destroy the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfil them, and the answer is plain, their historic fulfilment was their destruction.
Side 323 - ... stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ had made them free, and not to be entangled again with the yoke of bondage;
Side 280 - And I will make thee like the top of a rock : thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon ; thou shalt be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
