happy is he that can stand the tryal: for when he has undergone the test, he shall receive that crown of life which the Lord has promised to those that love him.

'tis he that has voluntarily renew'd us by the oracles of truth, that we might be the first converts of the new creation.

consider, my dear brethren, has not God chose the poor of this world to be rich by faith, and to inherit the kingdom he has promised to those who love him?

for he that has not shewed mercy, shall be condemn'd without mercy: while the merciful shall triumph at his trial.

What advantage is it, my brethren, for a man to say he has faith, if he has no beneficence? can such a faith save him?

there is but one legislator, and judge, he that has the power of life and death: who art thou, to pass sentence upon another?

confess then to one another the offences you have committed, and pray for one another, that you may be healed; the fervent prayer of a virtuous man has great influence.
