Página 95 - Therefore is the name of it called Babel ; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth : and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Página 360 - From poetry the reader justly expects, and from good poetry always obtains, the enlargement of his comprehension and elevation of his fancy ; but this is rarely to be hoped by christians from metrical devotion.
Página 369 - And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air...
