Side 49 - Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
Side 150 - Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God ? Be not deceived : neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Side 120 - Younger speak ; Pliny, than whom a purer patriot or a profounder sage lived not, out of Palestine, among the nations : — ' If we examine closely, we shall find there is nothing on which more pains are bestowed by mankind, than on wine.
