Page 67 - ALMIGHTY God, with whom do live the spirits of them that depart hence in the Lord, and with whom the souls of the faithful, after they are delivered from the burden of the flesh, are in joy and felicity...
Page 72 - For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities ; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Page 110 - Albeit that good works, which are the fruits of faith, and follow after justification, cannot put away our sins, and endure the severity of God's judgment ; yet are they pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ, and do spring out necessarily of a true and lively faith ; insomuch that by them a li vely faith may be as evidently known, as a tree discerned by the fruit.

Page 78 - But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers...
Page 46 - How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth who didst wound the nations? And thou saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the height of the clouds, I will be like the most High.
Page 59 - He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man : the field is the world : the good seed are the children of the kingdom ; but the tares are the children of the wicked one : the enemy that sowed them is the devil : the harvest is the end of the world ; and the reapers are the angels.
