328. These propositions are now to be demonstrated in their order: First: Every religion in process of time declines and is consummated.

Palestina) because the rod (A.V. of him) that Smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cock...

76. Verse 2. I know thy works, signifies that He sees all the interiors and exteriors of man at once. "Works" are often mentioned in Revelation, but few know what is meant by works.

Hell is called &q...

These things increase when charity is in the first place and faith in the second; for charity i...
