The object of this book is to bring together in cyclopedic form and under familhir headings all that the Bible contains on particular subjects. The subjects formulated are of practical value to every profession and to all who desire to con- sult the Bible. The method pursued in preparing this Digest has been, first, to analyze top- ically each verse of the Bible, each series of verses, and each chapter and series of chapters ; and, second, to group under suitable headings all the Scriptures related to the subjects found in the analysis. The first verse in the Bible may serve to illus- trate: " In the beffinnino; God created the heaven and the earth." "In the begin- ning." Some authorities interpret this phrase as meaning the beginning of tiiue ; tlierefore the author noted, "Time, Beginning of, Gen. 1:1." Other authorities interpret it as referring to tiie beginning of the creation; therefore the author noted, " Creation, Beginning of. Gen. 1:1." "In the beginning God created." The author noted, " God, Creator, Gen. 1:1." "In the beginning God created the heaven." Note, " Heaven, Creation of, Gen. 1 : 1." " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." "Earth, Creation of, Gen. 1 : 1." This process was faithfully adhered to throughout the work. Three classifications of Scripture verses have been published in America, two of which are erroneously styled " a complete analysis" of the Scriptures. Each author followed, with slight and unimportant modifications in arrangement, Mr. Matthew Talbot's classification of verses made in England one hundred years ago. Mr. Talbot's mode of treatment was to arrange all verses of the Bible, as best he might, under thirty general headings. Wlieu each verse had been assigned under the heading to which it seemed best adapted the work he undertook was complete. He used no verse more than once, regardless of the many different and distinct subjects it might contain. It was consequently a classification of verses rather than a topical analysis of matter. American publishers have followed this erroneous mode of treatment, and as a result the so-called analyses of the Scriptures hitherto offered to Bible students and Christian teachers have been unsatisfactory. This Digest is an analysis of the matter without regard to verse divisions except for PREFACE. convenience of reference. Verses, parts of verses, series of verses, and chapters are cited or quoted as often as tliej contain distinct subjects. Numerous verses are repeated from one to thirty times eacli, according to the number of subjects they contain and their position in extensive citations or extracts. The verse before referred to lias been quoted or cited under five different and equally important headino;s, while other analyses quote it only once. The familiar verse, Rom. 5:1, '' Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," is cited under nine headings ; namely, Justification, Faith, Peace, Salva- tion by Faith, Jesus the Saviour, Atonement, Mediation, Propitiation, and Recon- ciliation, while in other analyses it is used but once, under Justification. Passages variously interpreted by different religious schools or accepted author- ities are cited under the subjects they are claimed to support, without reference to the personal views of the author. This work is based on the King James Version, but the increasing demand for the readings of the Revised Version constrains me to introduce these readings more liberally than seemed to be required when the work was first published. In this, the seventh edition, I have inserted them where they affect the topical uses of verses. The phrases and sentences afl'ected are set in smaller type than the rest of the text in order to draw attention, and the revised readings and notes of omissions are set in small type at the ends of paragraphs. To provide against doubt that this Digest would be complete in its classification of matter respecting the principles and practice of law, I secured the assistance of the Ilonorable John Welch, Judge of the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio, U. S. A., and author of Welch's Index-Digest of Ohio Decisions. Judge Welch made a consecutive and analytical study of the Bible for this work, from the stand- point of a learned jurist and successful author, and his notes have been incor- porated with the author's. Lawyers, judges, legislators, and statesmen may, there- fore, rely on this work as a complete and valuable handbook of the Bible for the purposes of their professions. All subjects relating to the principles and practice of law are classified under headings in common use. Some subjects abound in the Scriptures to such an extent, and are used so fre- quently by religious teachers and others, that, were references only given in this work to the bo'oks, chapters, and verses containing them, the student Avould stagger at the thought of developing the topics. Li order to make this class of subjects quickly and easily available the verses, or parts of verses, themselves arc printed. This method of treatment might have been extended, but the size of a convenient volume liad to be taken into consideration. Minor topics are made almost equally available by brief sub-topical divisions followed by references. One of the most important, and it is believed valuable, features of this book is its elaborate system of cross references to kindred and antithetical subjects. 4 PREFACE. Wide scope is thus given each subject by connecting it with those to which it is rehited. Under tiie sub-topic, Instances of, are grouped all the illustrative facts that occur in the Scriptures relating to each subject. As a book of illusti-ations this work should ])rovc valuable. It also contains numerous and elaborate Bible read- ings, with a wide range of subjects. An Index contains a handy reference to the pages and columns in which each vei-se of the Bible is quoted or referred to throughout the woik to enable anyone who may be studying any particular verse to find what topics the author noted in it, and with what Scriptures it is grouped. It was not the object of the author in preparing this Digest to develop religious subjects only, but to note and classify everything found in the Scriptures. It is believed that it is approximately exhaustive. It is the result of fourteen years of delightful and untiring study of the word of God, aided by my wife, Anna Semans Nave, who has been an indefatigable assistant from the inception of the work. All pioneer works of an analytic character, as well as all noteworthy commentaries, liave been consulted, in order to bring into it all useful materials to be found. Its preparation was inspired by the obvious deficiency of such helps in the use of the Scriptures. This deficiency was felt by the author in preparing sermons, lectures, and other forms of religious instruction. The quiet of army ganisons, npart fi'om the rush and distraction of dense communities, has been favorable to its careful preparation. With the belief that it will contribute to make the Scriptures more quickly, easily, and fully available where particular subjects are under considera- tion, I oiier it to the public. Author.

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth wdtli you as with sons; for Avhat son is he whom the father chasteneth not ? 9. . . Shall we not much i-ather be in sub- jection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 1 John 3:1, Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed u]ion us, that we should be called the sons of God: 2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be : but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like hini; 10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1 John 4:4. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the woi'ld. 18 ADOPTION. ADULTERY. Rev. 21:7.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken ; for she h a man's wife. 2 Sam. 12:14. Howbeit,because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born imto thee shall surely die. Job 24:15. The eye also of the adidterer waitethforthe twilight, saying, No eye shall see me : and disguiseth // is face. 16. In the dark they dig tlu'ough houses, which tJiey had marked for themselves in the daytime : they know not the light. 17. I'or the morn- ing is to them even as the shadow of death : if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death, v. 18. Job 31:1. I made a covenant with mine eyes ; why then should I think upon a maid ? 9. If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neigh- bour's door ; 10. Then let my wife gi'ind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 11. For this is a heinous crime; yet it is an iniquity to he punished by the jiidges. 12. For it is a fire tJiat consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. Prov. 2:10. To deliver thee from the sti'ange woman, eren from the stranger vjhich. flat- tercth with her words; 18. Her house in- clineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 19. None tliat go unto her retm-n again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. V. 17. Prov. 5:3. The lips of a strange woman drop (IS an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother tlian oil : 4. But her end is bitter as wonnwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. vs. 5-22. Prov. 6:24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heai't ; neither let her take thee Avith her eyelids. 26. For by means of a v/horish woman a nia>i is brought to a piece of bread : and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28. Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29. So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife ; whosoever touch- eth her shall not be innocent. 32. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroy eth his own soul, 33. A wound and dishonour shall he get ; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. Prov. 7:5. That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. 6. For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 7. And beheld among the sim- ple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 8. Pass- ing through the street near her corner ; and he went the way to her house, 9. In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night : 10. And, behold, there met him a woman ivifh the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart. 11. (She is loud and stub- born ; her feet abide not in her house : 12. Now is she without, noAv in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 14. / have peace offerings with me ; this day have I paid my vows. 15. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 1(5. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestiy. Avith carved v^orks, with fine linen of Egypt. 17. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cimiamon. 18. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning : let us solace ourselves with loves. 19. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey : 20. He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 21 . With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22. He goeth after her straightway', as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks ; 23. Till a dart strike through his liver ; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. Prov. 9:13. A foolish woman is clamorous : she is simple, and knoweth nothing. 14. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 15. To call l)assengers Avho go right on their Avays: 16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither : and as for him that Avanteth understanding, she saith to him, 17. Stolen Avaters are SAveet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. 18. But he knoAveth not that the dead are there : and that her guests are in the depths of hell. Prov. 22:14. The mouth of strange women 14 ADULTERY. is a deep pit : he that is abhoiTed of the Lord shall fall therein. Prov. 2'A:27. Foi' a whore is a deep ditch ; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 28. She also lioth in wait as /or a prey, and in- ci-easeth the transgressors among men. Prov. 29:3. He that keepeth company with harlots spendeth h is substance. Prov. 30:18. There be three things v^hicli are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not : 19. The" way of an eagle in the air ; the way of a serpent upon a rock ; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea ; and the way of a man with a maid. 20. Such /is> the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. Prov. 31:3. Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroy- eth kings. Isa. 57:3. But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore. 4. Against whom do ye sport yoiu'selves ? against whom make ye a wide mouth, f//? (7 draw out the tongue ? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, Jer. 3:1. If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again ? shall not that land be greatly polluted ? Jer. 5:7. How shall I pardon thee for this ? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods; when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adul- tery, and assembled themselves by troops in the*^ harlots' houses. 8. They were as fed horses in the morning : every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. Jer. 7:9. Will ye steal, murder, and com- mit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whtim ye know not ; 10. And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations ? Jer. 23:10. The land is full of adulterers. Ezek. 18:5. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6. And hath not eaten upon the moimtains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstru- ous woman, 9. . . . He <'.'* just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God. Hos. 4:1. The Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 2. By swearing, and ly- ing, and killing, and stealing, and commit- ting adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. 11. Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take away the heart. Matt. 5-28. Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adulterj^ with her ah'eady in his heart. 32. Whos<5- ever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to cf)mmit adultery; and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Mark 10:11,12; Luke 10:18. Matt. 15:19. Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, Mark 7:21. Matt. 19.9. And I say unto you. Whoso- ever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth conmiit adul- tery. Mark 10:11. Mark 10:19. Thou knowest the command- ments. Do not commit adultery, Do not kill. Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, De- fraud not, Honour thy father and moth(!r. Jas.2:ll. Acts 15:20. We write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and/ry/yt fornication, v. 29. Kom. 1:28. As they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient ; 29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wick- edness, covetousness, . . . 32. Who, know- ing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Eom. 7:3. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress : but if her hus- band be dead, she is free from that law ; no that she is no adulteress, though she be mar- ried to another man. 1 Cor. 5:9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters: for then must ye needs go out of the world. 1 Cor. 6:15. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the membersof an harlot? Godforbid. 10. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body ? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor. 10:8. Neither let us commit forni- cation, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and tNventy th(xisand. 2 Cor. 12:21. A^^fHest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and tliat I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the un- cleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. Gal. 5:19. The works of the flesh are man- ifest, which are tJicse; Adultery, fornication, uncleanuess, lasciviousness, 21. Of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Tim. 1:9. Knowing this, that the law is not made for a rigliteous man, but . . . 10. For whoremongers, for them that defile 16 ADULTERY. themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for ]:)erjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine. 2 Tim. 3:6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with di- '•ers lusts, 1 Pet. 4:3. The time past of our life may uffice us to have wrought the will of the jrentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, usts, . . . 4. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with tJu'in to the same ex- cess of riot, speaking evil of you. 2 Pet. 2:9. The Lord knoweth how to de- liver the godly out of temptations, and to re- serve the unjust imto the day of judgment to be punished: 10. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of luiciean- ness. 14. Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin ; beguiling unsta- ble souls : Jude 7. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Rev. 2:20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel ... to teach and to se- duce my servants to commit fornication, . . . 21. And I gave her space to repent of her for- nication ; and she repented not. 22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that com- mit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Rev. 9:21. Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, See Lasciviousness; Rape; Sensuality; Sodomy; Whore; Whoredom. FORBIDDEN : Ex. 20:14. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Deut. 5:18; Matt. 5:27; 19: 18; Luke 18:20; Rom. 13:9; Jas. 2:11. Lev. 18:20. Moreover thou shalt not lie car- nally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thy- self Avith lier. Lev. 1 9 :29. Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a wiiore ; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Deut. 23:17. There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Acts 1 5:20. We write unto them, that they abstain from fornicatif)n. Rom. 1 3:13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness. 1 Cor. 5:1 1 . I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, . . . with such an one no not to eat. vs. 9,10. 1 Cor. 6:13. Now the body is not for forni- cation, but for the Lord ; and the Lord for the body. 1 5. Know ye not that y oiu" bodies are the members of Christ ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot ? God forbid. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication smneth against his own body. 1 Cor. 10:8. Neither let us commit fornica- tion, as some of them conmiitted, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Eph. 4:17. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, iii the vanity of their mind; 19. W^ho, being past feeling, have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20. But ye have not so learned Christ ; Eph. 5:3. But fornication, and all unclean- ness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 11. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of dai'kness, but I'ather reprove them. 12. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. Col. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, un- cleanness, inordinate afi'ection, evil concu- piscence. 1 Thes. 4:3. This is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication : 4. That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5. Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God : 7. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. FORGIVENESS OF: Instances of. Judg. 19:1-4. John 8:10. Woman, where are those thine accusers ? hath no man condemned thee ? 11. She said, No man. Lord. And Jesus said unto her. Neither do 1 condemn thee : go, and sin no more. PENALTIES FOR: Gen. 20:7. Now there- fore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live : and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. Gen. 26:11. And Abimelech charged all his people, saying. He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. Gen. 38:24. And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said. Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. Ex. 22:16. And if a inan entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. Lev. 19:20. And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor f reodcjmgivenher; she shall be scourged: they shall not be put to death, because she was not f i-ee. 21. And he shall bring his trespass ofler- 16 ADULTERY. iiig unto the Lord, unto the door of the taber- nacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering, 22. And the priest sliall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done; and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him. Lev. 20:10. And the man that committeth adultery \\ith.another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neigh- boui*'s wife, the adulterer and the adidteress shall surely be put to death. 11. And the man that lieth with his father's Avife hath un- covered his father's nakedness : both of them shall surely be put to death ; their blood sluill he upon them. 12. And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death : they i:ave wrought confusion ; their blood sh all be upon them. Lev. 21:9. And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father : she sliall be burnt with fire. Num. 5:11. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 12. Speak unto the children of Is- rael, and say unto them. If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, 13. And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken inith the manner [in the act, i^. Y.\\ 14. And the spirit of jealousy come upon him. and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: 15. Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal ; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor ]iut frank- incense thereon ; for it is an offering of jeal- ousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniq- uity to remembrance. 16. And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord : 17. And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel ; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water : 18. And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering : and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse : 19. And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the Avoman, If no man have lain Avith thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness tcith another instead of thy husband, be thovi free from this bitter Avater that causeth the curse : 20. But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy hus- band, and if thou be defiled, and some man haA^e lain Avith thee beside thine husband: 21. Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the Avoman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy i»eople, (2) 11 when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to SAvell : 22. And tliis water that causeth the curse .shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. Andthe woman shall say. Amen, Amen. 23. And the i)riest shall wi'ite these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out Avith the bitter Avater: 24. And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse : and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. 25. Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the Avoman's hand, and shall AvaA'e the offei'ing before the Lord, and offer it upon tlie altar: 26. And the priest shall take a handful of the offer- ing, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27. And Avhen he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, tJiat if she be defiled, and haA'e done trespass against her husband, that the Avater that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall SAvell and her thigh shall rot : and the Avoman shall be a ciu'se among her people. 28. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean ; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. 29. This is the laAV of jeal- ousies, when a Avife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; 30. Or Avhen the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous OA^er his Avife, and shall set the Avoman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this laAV, Deut. 22:13. If any man take a Avife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 14. And giA^e occasion of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and Avhen I came to her, I found her not a maid : 15. Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bi'ing forth tJie tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the eldera of the city in the gate: 16. And the damsel's father shall say imto the elders, I gaA^e my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 17. And, lo, he hath giA-en occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid ; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's A'ii-ginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18. And the elders of that city .shall take that man and chastise him; 19, And they shall amerce him in a himdred shekels of sih^er, and giA^e titem imto the father of the dam- sel, because he hath brought up an CA'il name upon a virgin of Israel : and she shall be his Avife ; he may not put her away all his days. 20. But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 21. Then they shall bi'ing out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her Avith stones that she die ; because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the Avhore in her father's house: so shalt thou put cA-il aAvay from among you. 22. If a man be found lying ADULTERY. with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman : so shalt thou put away evil from Israel: 23. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; 24. Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, he'mg in the city ; and the man, because lie hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among yow. 25. But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with hei- shall die : 2'6. But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin wort It y of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter : 27. For he f oimd her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 28. If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found , 20. Then the man that lay with her shall give imto the dam- sel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife ; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. Deut. 27:20. Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife ; because he tmcovereth his father's skirt : and all the people shall say, Amen. 22. Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother : and all the people shall say. Amen. 23. Cursed be he tliat lieth with his mother in law : and all the people shall say. Amen. 2 Sam. 12:10. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house ; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 11. Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neiglibour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of tliis sun. 12. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. Jer. 29:22. The Lord make thee like Zede- kiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Bab- ylon roasted in the fire; 23. Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have com- mitted adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the Lord. Ezek. 1():38. And I will judge thee,as wom- en that break wedlock and shed blood are judged: 40. They shall also bring up a com- pany against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust tliee tlirough with their SAvords. 41 . And they shall burn thine houses with fire,;ind execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women : and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more. Ezek, 23:45. And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adul- teresses, and after the manner of wc)men that shed blood; because they are adulter- esses, and blood is in their hands. 47. And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords ; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. 48. Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. Mai. 3:5. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a SAvift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adul- terers,and against false swearei'S,and against those that oppress the hireling in h is wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. John 8:4. They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the vei-y act. 5. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned. 1 Cor. 5:1. It is reported commonly that there ^^5 fornication among you,and such for- nication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were "present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4. In the name of our Lord Jesvis Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my si:)irit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5. To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6. Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lum]) ? 7. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our pass- over is sacrificed for us : 8. Therefore let irs keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters ; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11. But now I have writ- ten unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brothei- be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12. For Avhat liave I to do to judge them also that are without ? do not ye judge them that are Avithin? 13. But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put aAvay from among y ourseh^es that Avick- ed person. 1 Cor. 6:9. Be not deceived: neither forni- 18 ADULTERY.

Neither let us commit fornica- tion, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Gal. 5:19. The works of the flesh are mani- fest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciWousness, 21. Of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Eph. 5:5. Ye know, that no whoremonger, nor imclean person, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. (5. I^et no man deceive you with vain words : for be- cause of these tilings c(3meth the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Heb. 13:4. Whoremongers, and adulter- ers, God will judge. Rev. 18:0. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deli- eiously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10. Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saj'ing, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city ! for in one hour is thy judgment come. Rev. 21:8. But the fearful, and unbeliev- ing, and the abominable, and murderers, and wlKjremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burnetii with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Rev. 22:15. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murder- ers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie., FIGURATIVE: Jer. 3:2; Ezek. 16:15,16; Hos. 1.

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person, lsa. 58:6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen ? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy bui-dens, and to let the op- pressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? 7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house ? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him ; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 10. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, anil satisfy the afflicted soul ; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand. Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink : I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37, Then shall the righteous answer him, stiying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thii'sty, and gave thee drink? 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in ? or naked, and clothed thee / 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in ])rison, and came un- to thee ? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Ina.s- much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then .shall he say also unto them on the left hand, D^)art from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels : 42. For I was an hun- gered, and ye gave me no meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink : 43. I was a stran- ger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye 19 AFFLICTIONS. clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee anlumgered,orathirst,orastranger,ornaked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee ? 45. Then shall he answer them, saying, Vei'ily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Luke 10:30. And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which strip- ped him of his raiment, and wounded him, anddeparted,leavingA/>« half dead. 31. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was ; and when he saw him, he had compassion on h im, 34. And went to hi?n, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set hiin on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35. And on the morroAv when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him : and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will re- pay thee. 36. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves ? 37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Phil. 2:1 If there be therefore any conso- lation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 1 Tim. 5:10. If she have relieved the afflict- ed, if she have diligently followed every good work. Jas. 5:13. Is any among you afflicted ? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14. Is any sick among you ? let him call for the elders of the church ; and let them pray over him, anomting him with oil in the rtame of the Lord : 15.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him Avith the rt»d of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: Job 3:1. After this opened Job his moutli, and cui'sed his day. 2. And Job spake, and said, 3. Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night m vihich it was said, There is a man child conceived. 4. Let that day be darkness ; let not God regai'd it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. 5. Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it ; let a cloud dwell upon it ; let the black- ness of the day terrify it. (5. As for that night, let darkness seize upon it ; let it not be joined unto the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. 7. Lo, let that night be solitaiy ; let no .ioyfid voice come therein. 8. Let them curse it that curse the day, Avho are ready to raise up their mourning. 9. Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark ; let it look for light, but Aayenone; neither let it see the dawning of the day : 10. Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. 11. Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly ? 12. Why did the knees prevent me ? or why the breasts that I should suck? 13. For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, 14. With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves ; 15. Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 16. Or as an hidden un- timely birth I had not been; as infants «o A /c A never saw light. 17. There the Avick- ed cease from troubling ; and there the weary be at rest. 18. There the prisoners i*est to- gether ; they hear not the voice of the op- pressor. 19. The small and great are thei-e ; and the servant is free from his master. 20. Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; 21. Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures ; 22. Which rejoice exceedingly, and axe glad, when they can find the grave ? 23. Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in ? 24. For my sigh- ing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the Avaters. 25. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that Avhich 1 Avas afraid of is come unto me. 26. I Avas not in safetj', neither had I rest, neither Avas I quiet ; yet trouble came. Job 5:6. Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground ; 7. Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upAvard. 17. Be- hold, happy is the man whom God correct- eth : therefore despise not thou the chasten- ing of the Almighty: 18. For he niaketh sore, and bindeth up : he woundeth, and his hands make whole. Job. 6:1. But Job answered and said, 2. Oh that my grief Avere thoroughly Aveighed, and my calamity laid in the balances to- gether! 3. For now it would be hejxvier than the Siind of the scci : therefore my words are SAvalloAved u]). 4. For the arroAvs of the Al- mighty are Avithin me, the poison whereof drinketh up my si)irit : the terrors of God do set themselA^es in ari-ay against me. 5. Doth the Avild ass bray Avhen he hath grass? or loweth the ox overhis fodder? 6. Can that Avhich is unsavoury be eaten without salt ? or is there any taste in the white of an egg ? 7. The tilings that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat. 8. Oh that I might liaA^e my request ; and that God Avould grant rue the thing that I long fori 9. Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me ott' I 10. Then should I yet have comfort ; yea, I would harden myself in soitoav : let him not spare ; for I liaA^e not concealed the Avords of the Holy One. 11. What is my strength, that I should hope ? and Avhat is mine end, that I should prolong my life ? 12. Is my strength the sti'ength of stones ? or is my flesh of brass ? 13. Is not my help in me ? and is Avisdom driA^en quite from me ? 14. To him that is afflicted pity sliould be shewed from his friend ; but he forsaketh the fear of the Al- mighty. 15. My brethren have dealt deceit- fully as a brook, «;tc?as the stream of brooks they pass aAvay ; 16. Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snoAV is hid: 17. What time they Avax Avarm, they vanish : Avhen it is hot, they ai'e consumed out of their place. 18. The paths of their way are turned aside ; they go to nothing, and perish. 19. The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them. 20. They Avere confounded because they had hoped ; they came thither, and Avere ashamed. 21. For now ye are nothing; ye see my cast- ing down, and are afraid. 22. Did I say, Bring unto me ? or, Give a reward for me of your substance ? 23. Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand ? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty ? 24. Teach me, and I Avill hold my tongue: and cause me to understand AAdierein I liaA-e erred. 25. Hoaa- forcible are right Avords 1 but Avhat doth your arguing re- proA^e ? 26. Do ye imagine to reproAe Avords, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are asAvind? 27. Yea, ye OA^envhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend. 28. Noav therefore be content, look upon me ; for it is evident nnto you if I lie. 29. Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity ; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it. 30. Is there iniquity in my tongue ? cannot my taste discern perverse things ? Job. 7:2. As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling 1( )oketh for the reicard o/his Avork : 3. So am I made to pos- sess months of vanity, and Avearisome nights are appointed to me. 4. When I lie down, I say. When shall I arise, and the night be gone ? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the daAvning of the day. 5.

He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. Job 14:1, Man that is bom of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. 22. His flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. Job 16:6. Though I speak, my grief is not ass waged : and though I forbear, what am I eased ? 7. But now he hath made me weary : thou hast made desolate all my company. 8. And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, ichich is a Avitness against nte: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face. 9. He teareth tne in his wrath, who hateth me : he gnasheth upon me with his teeth ; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 10. They have gaped upon me with their mouth ; they haxe smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. 11. God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and tvirned me over into the hands of the wicked. 12." I was- at ease, but he hath bro- ken me asunder: he hath also taken ?iie by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. 13. His archers com- pass me roimd about, he cleaveth my reins asimder, and doth not spare ; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. 14. He breaketh me with breach upon breach: he runneth upon nie like a giant. Job 17:7. Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 8. Upright men "shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stii' up himself against the hypocrite. 9. The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 10. But as for you all, do ye return, and come now : fori cannot find one wise tnafi among you. 11. My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. 12. They change the night into day : the lights is short because of darkness. 13. If I wait, the grave is mine house : I have made my bed in the darkness. 14. 1 have said to cor- ruption. Thou art my father : to the Avorm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. 1.5. And Avhere is noAv my hope ? as for my hope, who shall see it ? 16. They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust. Job 19:7. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 8. He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. 9. He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. 10. He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone : and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. 11, He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as o)ie of his enemies. 12. His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabei'nacle. 13. He hath put my bi'ethren far from me, and mine acquaintance ai*e verily estranged from me. 14. My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 15. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 16, 1 called my serA^ant, and he gave me no ansAver ; I entreated him Avith my mouth. 17. My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the chil- dren's saA-e of mine own body. 18. Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. 19. All my inAA^ard friends abhorred nie: and they whom I loA'ed are turned against me. 20. My bone cleaA-eth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped AA-ith the skin of my teeth. Job 23:10. But he knoAveth the way that I take : t"he/i he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. Job 30:15. Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the Avind : and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. 16. And noA\^ my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction haA'e taken hold upon me. 17. My bones are pierced in me in the night season : and my sinews take no rest. 18.

But if they obey not, they shall perish by the SAvord. and they shall die without knoAvledge. 15. He deliv- ereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. Psa. 6:6.

Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. 8. 1 would hasten my escape from the Avindy storm and tempest. Psa. 60:10. For thou, 0 God, hast proved US: thou hast ti'ied us, as silver is tried. 11. Thou broughtest us into the net ; thou laidst afflicti(jn ujjon our loins. 12.

Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. Psa. 77:2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord : my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soiU refused to be com- forted. 3. I remembered God, and was troubled : I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. 4. Thou boldest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled tliat I cannot speak. Psa. 80:5. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. 6. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors : and our enemies laugh among themselves. Psci. 88:3. For my soul is fidl of troubles : and my life draweth nigh imto the grave. 4. I am counted with them that go dcjwn into the pit: I am as a man tltat hath no strength : 5.

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof ; because they have trans- gressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6.

Lam. 3:1. I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. 3. Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against tne all the day. 4. My fiesh and my skin hath he made old : he hath broken my bones. 5. He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travel. 6. He hath set me in dark places, as the]) that he dead of old. 7.

He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces ; he hath made me desolate. 12. He hath bent his boAv, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 13. He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. 14, I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. 15. He hath filled me with bitter- ness, he hath made me drimken with worm- wood. 16. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. 17. And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace; I forgat prosperity. 18. And I said. My sti-ength and my hope is perished from the Lord : 19. Remembering mine afflictions and my misery, the worm- wood and the gall. 20. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. 21. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 23. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compas- sions fail not. 23. Theif are new every morn- ing: great is thy faithfulness. 24. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soid that seeketh him. 26. It is good that a man shoidd both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. 27. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. 28.

But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. 33. For he duth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. 34.

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead : 2 Cor. 4:7.

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble ; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Zeph. 3:18. I will gather them that are sor- rowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to lohom the reproach of it was a burden. Matt. 5:4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, 11. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven : for so per- secuted they the prophets wliich were be- fore you. Matt. 10:29. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your father. 30. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. [Luke 21:18.] 31. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6,7. Matt. 11:28. Come imto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt. 14:27. But straightway Jesus spake rmto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I ; be not afraid." Mark 6:50. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdc »m prepared for you from the foundation of tlie woi'ld : 35. For I was an hungered, and ye ga^'e me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink : I Avas a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me : I was sick, and ye visited me : I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 40. Inasmucn as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matt. 28:5. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye : for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 9. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and wor- shipped him. 10. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid : go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. Luke 6:21. Blessed are ye that hunger now : for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now : for ye shall laugh. 22. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate jow from their comjmny, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy : for, behold, your reward is great in heaven : for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Luke 7:13. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. John 14:1, Let not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, believe also in me. 16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever ; 18. I will not leave you comfortless : I will come to you.- 27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you : not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not yoiu" heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 15:18. If the world hate you, ye know that, it hated me before it hated you. 20. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also per- secute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. John 16:20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice ; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 22. And ye now thei'ef ore have sorro^^^ ; but I Avill see yovi again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 33. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have ])eace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer ; I have overcome the world. Acts 12:5, Peter therefore was kept in pris- on : but prayer was made Avithout ceasing of the church unto God for him. Acts 23:11. And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said. Be of good cheer, Paul ; for as thou bast testified of me in .Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. Rom. 8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 35. "Who shall sejmrate us from the love of Christ ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecvition, or famine, or naked- ness, or peril, or sword ? 36. As it is written. 89 AFFJ.ICTION S.— Consolation in. Foi" thy sake we ai'e killed all the day hm^; we are accouuted as sheep lor the slaughter. 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor pow- ei's, nor things present, nor things to come, 3i). Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate vis from the love of God, which is in Clu'ist Jesus our Lord. Rom. 12:12. Rejoicing in hope ; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 15. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep witli them that weep. Rom. 15:4. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learn- ing, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 2 Cor. 1:3. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mer- cies, and the God of all comfort; 4. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we om'selves are comforted of God. 5. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 7. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 2 Cor. 4:8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed ; ^oe are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed ; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 16. For which cause we faint not ; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward ma7i is renewed day by day. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceedmg and eternal weight of glory; 2 Cor. 7:6. Nevertheless God, that com- forteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus ; 2 Cor. 12:9. And he said vmto me. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore wUl I rather glory in my infii-mities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Gal. 6:2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Phil. 1:19. For I know that this shaU turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of' Jesus Christ, lThess.4:13. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye soitow not, even as others which have no hope. 16. For the Lord him- self shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God : and the dead in Christ shall risefii-st: 17. Then we which are alive aw cZ remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shaU we ever be with the Lord. 18. Wliere- fore comfort one another with these words. 2 Thess. 1:7. And to you who are troubled rest Avith us, when the Lord Jesus shall be re- vealed from heaven with his mighty angels. 2 Thess. 2:16. Now, our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given 7(s everlasting consolation and good hope througli gi'ace, 17. Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 2 Tim. 2:12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: 2 Tim. 4:17. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me ; that by me the preaching might be fully knov,'n, and that all the Gentiles might hear : and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. Heb. 2:14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also him- self likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil • 15. And deliver them, Avho through fear oi death were all their lifetime subject to bond- age. 18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Heb. 4:15. For we have not an liigli priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities: but was in all points tempted like as loe are, yet without sin. 16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mei'cy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 6:18. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us : Heb. 12:1. Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset w.s-, and let us run with patience the race that is set be- fore us, 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For con- sider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in yoin* minds. 4. Ye have not yet resisted imto blood, striving against sin. Heb. 13:3. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them ;a)i d them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 5. Let your conversation be witli- out covetousness ; a?? c? ie content with such things as ye have: for he hath sjiid, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee, 6. So that we may boldly say. The Lord is my helpei*, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Jas. 1:12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried, he shall re- ceive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love hun. 27. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this.

Be ye also patient; stablish yonr hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 10. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an pxamj)le of suffering affliction, and of patience. 1 Fet. 2:21. For even hereunto were ye called : because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again ; when he suf- fered, he threatened not; but committed /u'>«6'e(ftohimthatjudgeth righteously: 24. Who liis own self bare our sins in his own body on the ti*ee, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Pet. 4:12. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, that when [lis glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be re- proached for the name of Chiist, happy are ye ; for the Spii'it of glory and of God resteth upon you. 1 Pet. 5:7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 9. Knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the w^orld. Rev. 2:9. I know thy works, and ti-ibula- tion, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and / know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and ai"e not, but are the synagogue of Satan, 10. Fear non e of those things which thou shalt suffer : behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye maybe tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days ; be thou faithfid unto death, and I will give thee a croAvn of life. Rev. 3:2. Be M^atchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die : 10. Because thou hast ke])t the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev. 7:14, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and sei've him day and night in his temi)le: and he that sitteth on the throne shall 'dwell among them. 1(5. They sliall hunger no more, neither thirst any more ; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17. For the Lamb which is in the inidst of the throne shall feed them, and shall load them unto living foimtains of waters: and God shall wii^e away all tears from their eyes. t' 'J- v. spread ins talwrnarle overl DKLIVEIIANCE FROM.

IG. Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end ; Deut. 30:1. And it shall come to pass, when all these things ai'e come upon thee, the bless- ing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, 2. And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, v/ith all thine heai't, and with all thy soul ; 3, That then the Lord thy God will turn thy capti^'ity, and have compassion upon thee, and will re- turn and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. Deut. 31:17. Then my anger shall be kin- dled against them in that day, and I will for- sake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoin-ed, and many evils and troubles shall befall them ; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? Judg. 2:21. I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died : 22. That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 1 Kin.8:33. When thy people Israel be smit- ten down before the enemy .because they have sinned against thee, and shall tui-n again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house : 34. Then hear thou in heaven,and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou ga^'est unto their fathers, with vs. 35-48; 2 Chr. 6:24-31. 2 Chr. 7:13.

He is chastened also with ])ain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with sti'ong pain : 20. So that his life abht)rreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 21 .

Then he is gracious wnio him, juid saith, Deliver him from going down to the \)\t', I have found a raiisoni. 25. His flesh shall be fresh(;r than a child's : he shall return to the days of his youth : 2^.

He looketh upon men, and //" any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which, wa.^i right, and it profited me not ; 28. He will de- liver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 29. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, 30. To bring back his soul from the pit, to be en- lightened with the light of the living. Job 36:8. And if they he bound in fetters, (Did be liolden in cords of affliction ; 9. Then he sheweth them their woi"k, and their trans- gressions that they have exceeded. 10. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and com- maudeth that they return from iniquity. Psa. 66: iO. For thou, 0 God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tric><l. Psa. 106:43. Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked Jam with their coimsel, and were brought low for their in- i(|uity. 44. Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, Avhen he heard their cry.

Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the coun- sel of the Most High; 12. Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and tliere was none to help. 13. Then they cried imto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14. He brought them out of darkness and the shad- ow of death, and brake their bands in sun- der. 17. Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat ; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 19. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, (Old he saveth them out of their dis- tresses. 20. He sent his word, aiid healed them, and delivered them from their de- structions. 21.

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths : their soul is melted because of trouble. 27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. 2S.

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver : and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may olfer unto the Lord an offer- ing in righteousness. John 9:2. And his disciples asked him, say- ing. Master, who did sin, this man, or his par- ents, that he Avas born blind ? 3. Jesus an- swered. Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents : but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. John 11:4. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. John 15 :2. Every bran ch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Jolin 21:19. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Fol- low me. 1 Cor. 11:32. But when we are judged, we ure chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 2 Cor. 1:4. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the com- fort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 5. For as the sufferingsof Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 6. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same suffer- ings which we also suffer : or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and sal- vation. 2 Cor. 4:11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' saJie, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory: 2 Cor. 12:7. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. Phil. 1:29. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30. Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. 2 Thess. 1:4. So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your pa- tience and faith in all yovu' persecutions and tribulations that ye endure. 5. Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer : Heb. 2:10. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one : for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. 12. Saying, I will de clare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church wUl I sing praise unto thee. 13. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same ; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil ; 15. And deliver them, who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in thingQ pertaining to God, to make recon- ciliation for the sins of the people. 18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Heb. 5:8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered ; 9. And being made perfect, he be- came the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. Heb. 12:5. And ye have forgotten the ex- hortation which speaketh unto you as unto children. My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : 6. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he I'eceiveth. 7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons ; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8. But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all. are partakers AFFLICTIONS.— Despondency m. then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9. Fur- thermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected its, and we gave than rev- erence : shall we not much rather be in sub- jection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10. For they_ verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure ; but he for our profit, that tve might be partakers of liis lioliness. 11. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous : nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 1 Pet. 1:6. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations : 7. That the ti'ial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, thougla it be tried with lire, might be foimd unto praise and honour and glory at the ap- pearing of Jesus Christ : 1 Pet. 5:10, But the God of all grace, who hath called us mato his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Happy «s the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty : Job 13:15. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him : Job 34:31. Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: 32. That lohich I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. v. 34. Psa. 46:10. Be still, and know that I am God : Psa. 4:4; 37:1. Prov. 3:11. My son, despise not the chas- tening of the Lord ; neither be weary of his correction : Lam. 3:22. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compas- sions fail not. 23. T/de/yrt re new every morn- ing: great /s thy faithfulness. 24. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul ; therefore will I hope in him. 25. The Lord is good, unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26. It is good that a ntaii should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. 27. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. 2S. He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. 29. He putteth his mouth in the dust ; if so be there may be hope. 30. He giv- eth his cheek to hvox that smiteth him : he is filled full Avith reproach. 31. For the Lord will not cast off for ever : 32. But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion ac- cording to the multitude of his mercies. 33. For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. 34. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, 35. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High, 36. To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord a.p]5roveth not. 39. Where- fore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins ? Mic. 6:9. The Lord's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name : hear ye the rod, and who hath ap- pointed it. Matt. 26:39. O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me : nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou icilt. Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42; John 18:11. Luke 21:19.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also ; knowing that tribulation worketh patience : Rom. 1:^:12, Rejoicing in hoi)e ; patient in tribulation ; continuing instant in prayer; 2 Cor. 12:1). And he stiid luito me, My grace is sufficient for thee : for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the l)0\ver of Christ may rest upon me. Phil. 2:14. Do all things without munriu*- ings : Col. 1:11. Strengthened with all might, ac- cording to his glorious power, imto all pa- tience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 1 Thess. 3:3. That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know tliat Ave are appointed thereunto, v. 4. 2 Thess. 1:4.

Endure laardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 2 Tim. 4:.5. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, Heb. 10:34. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye iiaA'e in heaven a better and an endiu-ing substance. Heb. 1 2:3. Consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 5. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children. My son, despise not thou the chas- tening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : 9. We have had fathere of our flesh which corrected iff}, and Ave gave f/ioa reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? us. 6-12. Jas. 1:10. [Let] the rich [rejoice] in that he is made low : because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. Jas. 4:7. Submit youreelves therefore to God. 1 Pet. I:f5. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 1 Pet. 2:20. For what glory is it, if, Avhen ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently ? but if, when ye do well, and suffer /or it, ye take it patiently, this is ac- ceptable with God. 1 Pet. 4:12. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial Avhich is to try you, as thoxigh some strange thing happened unto you : 13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are par- takers of Christ's sufferings ; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also Avith exceeding joy. 19. Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the Avill of God com- mit the keeping of their souls to him in Avell doing, as unto a faithfvd Creator. 1 Pet. 5:6. Humble yom-selves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time : 7. Ca.sting all your care ujion him ; for he careth for you. See RESiCiXATioN.

The Lord is righteous ; for I have rebelled against his commandinent : Lam, 3:39. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Dan. 9:14. Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us : for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth : for we obeyed not his voice. Mic. 7:9.

IN SALTATION OF MEN: Job 33:14. For God speak eth once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed ; 16. Then he openeth the ears of men, and seal eth their instruction, 17. That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from per- ishing by the sword. 19. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multi- tude of his bones with strong pain : 20. So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 21. His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen ; and his bones tJiat were not seen stick out. 22. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 23. If there be a mes- senger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his upright- ness ; 24. Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit : I have found a ransom. 25. His flesh shaU be fresher than a child's : he shall re- turn to the days of his youth : 26. He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy : for he will render unto man his right- eousness. 27. He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that lohich was right, and it profited me not ; 28. He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 29. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, 30. To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enhghtened with the light of the living. Psa. 8:2. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength be- cause of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. Matt. 4:19. And he saith imto them. Fol- low me, and I will make you fishers of men . Luke 5:10. Matt. 5:13. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, where- with shall it be salted? It is thencefoi-tli good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. 15. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick ; and it giveth light luito all that are in the house. 16.

Luke 10:17. And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 21. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the Avise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes : even so, Father ; for so it seemed good in thy sight. John 15:16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and^Aa^ yoiu* fruit should remain. 1 Cor. 1:26. For ye see your calling, breth- ren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise ; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confovmd the things which are mighty ; 28. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and tilings which are not, to bring to nought things that are : 29. That no flesh should glory in his presence. iThess. 2:4. But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak ; not as pleasing men, but God, wliich trieth our hearts. 1 Tim. 1:11.

Thus saith the Lord God of Is- rael, I have anointed thee king over the peo- ple of the Lord, even over Israel. 7. And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy mas- ter, that I may avenge the blood of my serv- ants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel. 2 Kin. 19:25. Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities hi to iiiinous heaps. 26. Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confoimded. 2 Chr. 22:7. He went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to cut ott the house of Ahab. Psa. 17:13. Arise, 0 Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, wJiich is thy sword : 14. From men ichich are thy hand. Isa. 10:5. O Assyrian, the rod of mine an- ger, and the staflO in their hand is mine indig- nation. 6.

And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstf ruits of wheat hai'vest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end. Lev. 19:9. And when ye reap the hai^vest of yovir land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard ; thou shalt leave them for the ]joor and stranger: I am the Lord your God. 19. Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a divei'se kind : thou shalt nut sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of Imen and wooUen come upon thee. 23. And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised : three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. 24. But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to pi-aise the Lord v'ithal. 25. And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof : I aiu the Lord your God. Lev. 25:2.

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof ; 4. But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord ; thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vine- yard. [Ex. 23:10,11.] 5. That which grow- eth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed : for it is a year of rest unto the land. 6.

And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat. 8.

And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout atlihe land unto all the inhabit- ants thereof: it shall be a .iubilee mito you ; and ye shall return every nxau unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 11. A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you : ye shall not sow, neither i-eap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thj' vine undressed. 12. For it is the jubilee ; it shall be holy unto you : ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 15. According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt bviy of thy neighbour, ajul according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall selliuito thee: 16. According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the piice of it : for according to the number of the years oi the fruits doth he sell unto thee. 19. And the land shall yield her fi-uit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 20. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year ? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in oiu' increase : 21 .

And ;v'e shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year ; until hei' fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store. 23. The land shall not be sold for ever : for the land is mine ; for ye are strangers and sojovmiers with me. 24. And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a re- demption for the land. 25. If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his bi'other sold. 26. And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it ; 27. Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it ; that he may leturn imto his possession. 28. But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that wliich is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee : and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall retiu-n unto his possession.

Deut. 24:19. When thou cuttest down thine ham-est in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it : it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow : that the 5U AGRICULTURE. AllAVA. Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. ' 20. When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again : it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow, 21.

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all : the king hiinself is served by the field. Prov. 27:23. Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds : 24. For riches are not for ever : and doth the crown endure to every generation ? 25. The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 2Q. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27. And tJiou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy FACTS ABOUT : Gen. 8:22. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and sinnmer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. 1 Sam. 13:19. Now there was no smith found thi'ouglKJUt all the land of Israel : for the Philistines said. Lest the Hebrews make MeyM swords or spears: 20. But all the Israel- ites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his ax, and his mattock: 21. Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. Isa. 28:24. Doth the plowman ]ilow all day to sow ? doth he open and break the clods of his ground ? 25. When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed bar- ley and the rie in their place ? 2Q. For his God doth instruct him to discretion, an d doth teach him. 27. For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin ; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 28. Bread co7'n is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it vnth the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it iinth his horse- men. Matt. 13:3. And he spake many things un- to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow : 4. And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up : 5. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, be- cause they had no deepness of earth • 6. And when the sun was up, they were scorched ; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7. And some fell among thorns ; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them : 8. But other fell into good gi'ound, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixty- fold, some thirtyfold. 2 Cor. 9:6. But this I say. He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly ; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Gal. 6:7.

Ye call me Master and Loixl : and ye say well ; for so I am. 14. If I then, you7- Lord and Master, have washed your feet ; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. vs. 4-17. Acts 20:33. I have coveted no man's sil- ver, or gold, or apparel. 34. Yea, ye your- selves know, that these hands have minis- tered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouiing ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Rom. 15:1. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edifica- tion. 3. For even Christ pleased not him- self ; but, as it is written. The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 1 Cor. 9:18. What is my reward then?

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews ; to them that are under the law, as under the law, [not being myself nnder the law, ?s addM m R.

To them that are with- out law, as without law, (2 being not without laAv to God, but under Hhe law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22.

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honour- able. 6. When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand : 7. In that day shall lie swear, saying, I will not be a healer ; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing : make me not a ruler of the peo- ple. 8. For JeiTisalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory. Gal. 5:13. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty ; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbovu' as thyself. 2 Pet. 2:10. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation, against them before the Lord. 12. But these as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil, of the things that they understand not ; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption ; 13. And shall receive the reward of unright- eousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their o-wn deceivings while they feast with you ; 14.

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, foUowmg the way of Balaam ?/<e son of Bosor, who loved the Avages of unright- eousness ; 16. But was rebuked for his iniq- uity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17. These are wells without water, clouds that are caiTied with a temj^est ; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption : for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brouglit in bondage. Jude 8. Likewise also these filthy dream- ers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak &vW. of dignities. 9. Yet Michael the archangel, Avhen contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said. The Lord rebuke thee. 10. But these speak evil of those things which they know not : but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they coiTupt themselves. 11. Woe unto them ! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greed- ily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding them- selves without fear: clouds they «re with- out water, carried about of winds; trees Avhose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots ; 13. Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; Avandering stars, to whom is re- served the blackness of darkness for ever. ANATH, father of Shamgar. Judg. 3:31.

And the an- gel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, G. And sware by him that liveth for ever and evei', who created heaven, and the things that thei'ein ai'e, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things w-hich are thei'ein, that there should be time no longer : Rev. 14:10. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the h( )ly angels. Rev. 18:1. And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, hav- ing great power; and the earth was light- eried with his glory. 2.

And I John saw tlicsc things, and heard tho/i. And when 1 had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9.

But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not : yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his Avrath. 49. He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 50. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the ])esti- lence ; P.sa. 8.5:3.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Mo- ses for their sakes : Psa. 110:5. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. Isa. 5:25. Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them : and the hills did trem- ble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wi'oth : for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 1 7. For the iniquity of his covet- ousness was I wroth, and smote him : I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on f rowardly in the way of his heart. Isa. 63:3. I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread theni in mine anger, and tramnle them in my fury; and tlieir blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my rannent. 4. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 5. And I looked, and there was none to help ; and I wondered that thei'e was none to uphold: therefore mine OAvn arm brought sjilvation unto me; and my fury, it ui)h(^ld me. 6. And I will tread down thej)eoi)le in mine an- ger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will l)riiig down their strength to the earth. Is;i. (;(;:15. For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirl- wind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 6d ANGER. -Of God. Jer. 3:12.

For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl : for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us. 2(5. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place loas a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his tierce anger. Jer. 7:20.

Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me : 37. And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord. 38.

Thus saith the Lord God ; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have trJcen vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy if for the old hatred; 16. Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Behold I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philia- ea ANGER.-Of God. ANIMALS. tines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 17. And I Avill execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes ; and they shall know that I mn the Lord, when I shall lay Tiiy vengeance upon them. ban. 9:16. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger ;uid thy fury be turned away from thy city .Ferusjiiem, thy holy mountain : because for i)ur sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusiilem and thy people are become a re- proach to all that (ire about us. IIos. 11:0. I Avill not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not retui-n to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee : and I will not enter into the city. Hos. 13:11. I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. Hos. 14:4. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. Nah. 1:2. God is jealous, and the Lord re- vcngeth ; the Lord revengeth, and is furious ; the Lord will take vengeance on his adver- saries, and he reserveth wrath for his ene- mies. 3. The Lord ^^s slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the ?c icked : the Lord A ath his Avay in the whirl- wind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 6. Who can stand be- fore his indignation \ and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are throAvn down by him. Matt. 22:7. But when the king heard there- of^ he was -wi-oth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up tlu^ir city. 13. Then said the king to the servants. Bind him h;md and foot, and take him away, and cast lam into outer darkness : tlicrc shall be weeping and gnash- ing of teeth. Rom. 1:18. For the wrath of God is re- vealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the iruth in inn-ighteousness; Rom. 2:5. J Jut after thy hardness and im- penitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revela- tion of tlic I'ighteous judgment of God ; Kph. 5:0. Let no man deceive you Avith vain words: for because of these things corneth the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Col. 3:0. For which things' sake the wrath of God Cometh on the children of disobedi- ence : Ileb. 3:11. Ro I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. Hel). 4:3. Rev. 6:10. And said to the momitains and PfK'ks, Yi\\\ on us, and hide us from the face of liim that sittcth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17. For tlie great day f)f his wrath is come ; and who shall be able to stiind ? Kev. 14:10. Tho sanio eliull drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixtiu-e into the cup of his in- dignation ; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb : 11. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever : and they have no I'est day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and Avhosoever re- ceiveth the mark of his name. Rev. 15:1. And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues ; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 7. And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. Rev. 10:19. And the great city Avas di- vided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in i-e- membrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Rev. 19:15. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations : and he shall rule them with a rod of iron : and he treadeth the wine])ress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
