And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great ; and thou shalt be a blessing : And I will bless them that bless thee : and curse him that curseth thee : and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Page 316 - The time of their visitation will come, and that inevitably; for, it is always true, that if the fathers have eaten sour grapes, the children's teeth are set on edge.
Page 230 - So it is not the will of your Father that one of these little ones should perish.
Page 249 - The Puritan hated bear-baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators.
Page 247 - Monday, the 25th day, we went on shore, some to fell timber, some to saw, some to rive, and some to carry ; so no man rested all that day.
