 10   1,   6 |     greatness can be said of Him, has condescended to accept the
 11   1,   6 |      worship of men's mouths, and has desired us through the medium

 35   1,  32 |        however, in His use of us, has reference to His own goodness.
 36   1,  32 |           shalt say to them, I AM has sent me unto you;" So that
 37   1,  32 |        are good only so far as He has given it to them to be so.

 82   2,  28 |         is one thing to tell what has been done, another to show
 83   2,  28 |       done. History narrates what has been done, faithfully and

112   3,  10 |   neighbour. Every man, moreover, has hope in his own conscience,

114   3,  10 |         the authority of the word has a hold upon their minds,
