Genesis 13:8 — la mayoría de las veces no es más que un mero error. Ahora bien, muchos, por el contrario, albergan esta víbora en sus pechos, hasta que les devora el corazón; no sólo dejan que "el sol se ponga", sino que da toda su vuelta "sobre su ira", Efesios 4:26 y no pueden encontrar tiempo de un fin de año a otro para expresar sus mentes y agravar sus discordias. No solo Abram, sino Aristipo se levantará para juzgar a esos pseudocristianos y los condenará. Para cuando Esquines y que había estado en un largo

Genesis 21:1 — templo construido en Roma fue dedicado a la diosa Fidelity. Las palabras de los grandes, dice uno, son como zapatos de muerto: puede andar descalzo el que los espera. Hombres no tan buenos; resistirán su juramento, aunque tiende a su pérdida. Salmo 15: 4 Son niños que no mienten. Isa 63: 8 Su Padre es un Dios que no puede mentir. Tit 1: 2 El es el Dios de amén, como lo llama Isaías; Isa 65:16 y "todas sus promesas son sí y amén en Cristo Jesús", 2 Cor 1:20 "el testigo fiel y verdadero". Apocalipsis

Genesis 4:23 — le invitaron a sentarse, fue bienvenido: respondió, no se quedaría allí; "Hobomack", es decir, el diablo, estaba allí; y así partió. D un Plutar en Pelopida . b Ne memoria tam praeclarae rei dilueretur . c Act. y lun . d New Engl. Primicias , pág. 4.

Genesis 5:5 — un día más, no hay más que esperanzas. Podemos ver la muerte en la frente de otros hombres, pero no en nuestro propio pecho. Debe hacer una entrada a la fuerza y ​​entrar violentamente. Dios debe "cortar" a los hombres "en dos", διχοτομησει , Mat 24:51 y arrancar sus almas de sus cuerpos, antes de que se rindan para morir. Los mejores son demasiado atrasados, y no estarían “desnudos, sino vestidos”, 2 Cor. 5: 4 si tuvieran su voluntad. El mismo Moisés ora: “Señor, enséñanos a contar nuestros días,

Genesis 8:11 — recompensados ​​en lo sucesivo, los malos castigados), nombró a este piadoso príncipe como un ejemplo incuestionable de tal hombre, como seguramente esperaría la corona prometida de la vida eterna, que Dios el Juez justo dará a todos los suyos. 2 Tim 4: 8 a Dιδακτικον, ανεξικακον. 2Ti 2:24 Aνεχου και απεχου. - Epictet. b Melch.

Zephaniah 3:11 — wherein thou hast hitherto so prided thyself as the only people of God, holy and beloved. And thou shalt no more be haughty — Stand upon thy tip-toes, upon thy sandles, as if there were none such. Because of mine holy mountain — Jeremiah 7:4 . The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, cried they aloud that nothing cared for the Lord of the temple. So the Jesuits and their Romish crew cry, the Church, the Church, the Catholic Church, ad ravem usque, until hoarse like so many oyster-wives:

Zechariah 1:18 — the present comfort of the afflicted Church, but the enemies of Israel from all the four parts of the world, see Psalms 107:2-3 , for they were surrounded: on the north were the Syrians, Assyrians, and Babylonians. ( Ab Aquilone nihil boni, Jeremiah 4:6 ; Jeremiah 6:1 ). On the east the Ammonites and Moabites. On the south the Edomites and Egyptians. On the west the Philistines, as may be gathered out of Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Geneva is at this day a small people, environed with enemies, French, Spanish,

Zechariah 1:7 — Church and State. The devil and his imps love to bring men into the briars, and there to leave them, as familiars forsake their witches when they have brought them once into fetters; as the priests left Judas the traitor, to look to himself, Matthew 27:4 ; and as the Papists cast off Cranmer, after that, by subscribing their articles, he had cast himself into such a wretched condition, that there was neither hope of a better nor place for a worse; ut iam nec honeste mori nec vivere inhoneste liceret

Zechariah 2:4 — them, Ezekiel 36:37 . Zechariah seems to have been a young prophet, and Christ remembered the kindness of his youth, and became a wonderful counsellor to him; he gave to this young man (or greenbeaded stripling) knowledge and discretion, Proverbs 1:4 . Epiphanius saith he was an old man; and that he is called a young man because a client and disciple of the angel that communed with him. Where angels are called men it was no disparagement to Zechariah to call himself a lad, or servant, considering

Zechariah 7:7 — words which the Lord hath cried — q.d. Hath he not spoken loud enough, long enough? Hath he not sufficiently declared his will concerning these external actions, and especially concerning a fast profaned through wickedness, Isaiah 58:8 ; Isaiah 58:4 Jeremiah 14:12 , and elsewhere. Sed surdo fabulam; But a story falling on deaf ears. All hath been but as a trumpet sounded in a dead man’s ear; you are altogether uncounsellable, untractable; and all that hath been spoken hath even been spilt

Zechariah 8:4 — and he will give every "good gift and perfect giving," James 1:17 , that is, both temporal and spiritual. The Father of lights will be to his both a sun and a shield; and no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly, Psalms 84:11 . Godliness hath the promises of both lives, 1 Timothy 4:8 . Christ is heir of all, Hebrews 1:2 , and the saints are his coheirs, Romans 8:17 . He is the "everlasting Father," and also the "Prince of peace," Isaiah 9:6 ; his children

Matthew 13:21 — them, and therefore come to nothing. They are enlightened only as by a flash of lightning, and not by the sunbeam; they do no more than taste of the good word of God, as cooks do of their sauces, they let nothing down, they digest it not, Hebrews 6:4-5 "A good man is satisfied from himself," saith Solomon, Proverbs 13:14 ; hath a spring within his own breast. Hic sat lucis, This is of light, said Oecolampadius, clapping his hand upon his heart. This the temporary cannot say; he is moved

Matthew 18:10 — a man had better anger all the witches in the world than one of these little ones. I tell you, some great ones have been fain to humble themselves, and to lick the very dust of their feet sometimes, that they might be reconciled to them, Isaiah 60:14 . If Cain do but lower upon Abel, God will arraign him for it, Genesis 4:6 . Why is thy countenance cast down? Why dost look so doggedly? If Miriam do but mutter against Moses, God will spit in her face,Numbers 12:14; Numbers 12:14: and if Aaron had

Matthew 19:26 — hearts are ordinarily so wedded and wedged to the world that they will not be loosened but by a powerful touch from the hand of Heaven. Think not, therefore, as many do, that there is no other hell but poverty, no better heaven than abundance. Luke 2:41 . Divitiae vocautur τα ενοντα , quia avari animo quasi insident. Beza. Of rich men they say, What should such a man ail? The Irish ask, What they mean to die, … The gold ring and gay clothing carried

Matthew 20:30 — struck Zacharias,Luke 1:22; Luke 1:22 , he made him dumb, but not deaf. When God struck Saul, he made him blind but not deaf. When God struck Mephibosheth, he made him lame, but not deaf. There is a deaf devil, Mark 9:25 , and a deaf adder, Psalms 58:4 , and a deaf man, that yet want for no ears, Isaiah 43:8 . But "he that heareth instruction is in the way of life," saith Solomon. These two blind beggars had heard of Christ by the hearing of the ear, but that satisfied them not, unless their

Matthew 23:35 — righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. From the blood of righteous Abel — God reckons of men by their righteousness, Romans 10:4-6 The righteous (let him dwell where he will and by whom) is better than his neighbour, saith Solomon. This was Cain’s grief, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother; and wherefore slew he him, but because his own works were evil and

Matthew 5:40 — covetousness." He that complaineth of another to the magistrate, must, 1. Love his enemies. 2. Prosecure with continual respect to God’s glory and the public good. 3. Use the benefit of the law with charity and mercy, without cruelty and extremity. 4. Use it as an utmost remedy, when it cannot otherwise be; lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and thy labours be in the house of a lawyer, and thou mourn at last (with Solomon’s fool) when thine estate is consumed upon him: there being but

Matthew 6:17 — they were above ground. David lay on the earth, 2 Samuel 12:16 . Daniel laid aside all delights of sense, as music, mirth, perfumes, ointments, … Our Saviour fasted to the humbling of his soul, Psalms 35:13 , weakening of his knees, Psalms 109:24 , macerating and enfeebling of his body, Psalms 69:10 . And when upon the cross they offered him wine mingled with myrrh, to stupefy him and make him less sensible of his pain, he received it not, Mark 15:23 . To teach us (saith a learned interpreter)

Matthew 9:22 — lest her conscience should call her recreant, as one that had stole a cure. 2. To make up in her what was wanting to her faith, if she should have any such thought to do Song of Solomon 3:1-11 . To manifest her faith, for other men’s imitation. 4. To make known his omniscience, and so his Divinity. 5. To confirm the ruler’s faith, and so fit him for further mercy. 6. To teach her and us that not his garment, but himself, did the cure. This makes against that Popish foppery in worshipping

John 18:6 — Augustine. "The wicked shall not stand in judgment," saith David, Psalms 1:5 . Christ shall "smite the earth with the rod of his mouth," saith Isaiah; and with "the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked," Isaiah 11:4 . Godly men (who have but a drop of Christ’s ocean, a spark of his flame) have a daunting presence. When Valens the persecuting emperor came to St Basil, while he was in holy exercises, it struck such a terror into him, that he reeled, and had
