الصفحة 181 - As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
الصفحة 19 - Say to the church, it shows What's good, and doth no good. If church and court reply, Then give them both the lie. Tell potentates they live Acting by others' action; Not loved unless they give, Not strong but by a faction.
