But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills...
Página 111 - Stern Lawgiver! yet thou dost wear The Godhead's most benignant grace ; Nor know we anything so fair As is the smile upon thy face : Flowers laugh before thee on their beds And fragrance in thy footing treads; Thou dost preserve the Stars from wrong; And the most ancient Heavens, through Thee, are fresh and strong.
Página 106 - Arnold's religious writing does more than assay the alloy of popular Christianity.

Nothing is more singular than the reticence with which religion is treated even by the religious. The sense of its being a...

Thou hast heard The curse of Abel's mother, and since then We have not ceased to threaten at Thy throne. To threat and pray Thee that Thou hold them still In memory of us.
