and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores.

And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,

for I have five brethren; - that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
