Stran 213 - And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which s'eeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Stran 29 - I shall detain you now no longer in the demonstration of what we should not do, but straight conduct you to a hill-side, where I will point you out the right path of a virtuous and noble education ; laborious indeed at the first ascent, but else so smooth, so green, so full of goodly prospect, and melodious sounds on every side, that the harp of Orpheus was not more charming.
