What Wisdom and Esteem of it, are not here condemned. The order which I shall observe in handling the first doctrine shall be this; I. I will tell you negatively what wisdom, and esteem of our own wisdom, is not here condemned. II. What it is that is here condemned. III. What are the certainties which we must hold fast, and make our religion of. IV. What degrees of these certainties there are. V. What are the uncertainties, which we must not pretend to be certain of; and the unknown things which we must not pretend to know. VI. What are the mischiefs of falsely pretended knowledge. VII. What are the degrees or aggravations of this sin. VIII. What are the causes of it. IX. What are the remedies. X. What are the uses which we should make of this doctrine. 1. What wisdom, and what esteem of our wisdom is not here condemned? Answ. 1. Not any real useful knowledge at all, whilst every thing keepeth its proper place, iand due esteem, as is said. 2. That which of itself primarily is of so small use, as that it falleth under the contempt of the apostles, yet by accident, through the subtlety of Satan, and the viciousness of the world, may become to some men in some measure necessary. And here cometh in the calamity of divines. Of how little use is it to me in itself to know what is written in many hundred books; which yet by accident it much concerneth me to know ! And if God restrain him not, the devil hath us here at so great an advantage, that he can make our work almost endless, and hath almost done it already ; yea, can at any time divert us from the greatest truth and works, by making another at that time more necessary. If he raise up Socinians, our task is increased; we must read their books, that we may be able to confute them; so must we when he raise...@9 ÌÌÌÌÍÿ¾Û€ (less) | $25  A1Books |
|  | THE Book of Job is the first great poem of the soul in its mundane conflict, facing the inexorable of sorrow, change, pain, and death, and feeling within itself at one and the same time weakness and energy, the hero and the serf, brilliant hopes, tcmole fears. With entire veracity and amazing force this book represents the never-ending drama renewed in every generation and every genuine life. It breaks upon us out of the old world and dim muffled centuries with all the vigour of the modern soul and that religious impetuosity which none but Hebrews seem fully to have known. Looking for precursors of Job we find a seeming spiritual burden and intensity in the Accadian psalms, their confessions and prayers; but if the)' prepared the w:ay for Hebrew psalmists and for the author of Job, it was not by awaking the cardinal thoughts that make this book what it is, nor by supplying an example of the dramatic order, the fine sincerity and abounding art we find here welling up out of die desert.BRBRBTable of Contents/B BRBRTHE AUTHOR AND HIS WORK 3; II; THE OPENING SCENE ON EARTH19; III; THE OPENING SCENE JN HEAVEN 33; IV; THE SHADOW OF COn's HAND 50; V; THE DILEMMA OF FAITH 67; THE FIRST COLLOQUY; VI; THE CRY FROM THE DEPTH 85; VIJ; THE THINGS ELIPHAZ HAD SEEN99; VIII; PAGE; MEN FALSE: GOD OVERBEARINGIl6; IX; VENTURESOME THEOLOGY I35; X; THE THOUGHT OF A DAYSMAN141; XI; A FRESH ATTEMPT TO CONVICT154; XII; BEYOND FACT AND FEAR TO GOD162; THE SECOND COLLOQUY XIII; THE TRADITION OF A PURE RACE18; XIV; MY WITNESS IN HEAVEN 201; XV,; A SCHEME OF WORLD-RULE215; XVI; MY REDEEMER LI VET H 222; XVII; IGNORANT CRITICISM OF LIFE243; XVIII; ARE THE WAYS OF THE LORD EQUAL ? 253; XIX; PAGE; DOGMATIC AND MORAL ERROR 269; XX; WHERE IS ELOAH ? 281; XXI; THE DOMINION AND THE BRIGHTNESS 298; XXII; THE OUTSKIRTS OE HIS WAYS 302; XXI11; CHORAL INTERLUDE 3'3; XXIV; AS A PRINCE BEFORE THE KING 320; KLTHU FNTEHVENES xxv; POST-EXILIC WISDOM ^41; XX (less) | $22  A1Books |
|  | PREFATORY NOTE In the fertile valley of Utah, lying in the heart of the Rockies, there is material for a score of books. Some day its full history shall have been written, and with its writing must come a revelation of con ditions that have been well concealed during the three- quarters of a century, in which Mormonism has been developing. This book deals with but one phase of that life it is true in every essential feature, and is in strict accord with established facts. It is not an attack upon Mormonism. It is simply a story, dealing with certain admitted conditions, and making some small use of the dramatic materials, which the unimpeachable history of the times has furnished. It has no slighting word to speak in disparagement of the sturdy strength, untiring energy and singular devotion that marked the lives of the men and women who did pioneer work in the midst of incredible difficulties, and whose sons and daughters are rising to a better understanding and, it maybe, to a purer faith.

PREFACE THIS work is intended for those who desire to acquire a fair knowledge of the Castilian tongue in the shortest possible time. It makes no pretension to completeness, but when the student arrives at the end of it, having mastered its contents, he should be able to write and speak the language with a very fair degree of accuracy. Practice with natives and with Spanish literature will be necessary for perfect understanding. I am greatly indebted to Captain A. T.

BY HARRXET MARTINEAU. 1 LONDON 4 CHARLES FOX, 67, PATERNOSTER-R0 W. P R E F A C E IN planning the present story, I was strongly tempted to use the ancient method of exemplification, and to present my readers with the Adventures of a Bill of Exchange, so difficult is it to exhibit by example the process of exchange in any other form than the history of the instrument. If, however, the transactions of Messrs. Vanderput and Snoek should be found to furnish my readers with a pretty clear notion of the nature and operation of the peculiar kind of currency of which this Number treats, I shall readily submit to the decision that the present volume has little merit as a specimen of exemplification. Though the working of principles might be shown in this case, as - in any other, it could not, I think, be done naturally in a very small space. If I had had liberty to fill three octavo volumes with the present subject, an interesting tale might have been made up of the effects on private fortunes of the variations in the course of the Exchange and of the liabilities which attend the use of a partial and peculia@G±ë…¸Rÿ¾Û€ (less) | $47  A1Books |
