Pagina 12 - Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see : the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Pagina 29 - And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed.
Pagina 80 - New-year, blithe and bold, my friend Comes up to take his own. How hard he breathes ! over the snow I heard just now the crowing cock. The shadows flicker to and fro : The cricket chirps : the light burns low : 'Tis nearly twelve o'clock. Shake hands, before you die.
