But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Էջ 218 - the blefled and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto ; whom " no man hath feen, nor can fee ; to him be " honour and power everlafting. Amen." ts 41 DISCOURSE VIII. MATT. v. 3. BleJ'ed are the poor in fpirit ; for theirs it the kingdom of heaven.
