How shall a man be trained up, that he may get the skill of living by faith * 1/' VERY man hath his shifts and tricks, and S*#S lives by his own devices; and the devil hath enough of them in the world that live this life; but the best life of all is little looked after.

As the spider gathers poison out of every flower; so the bee gathers honey out of the same flowers, and out of the sweetest flower she sucks the most honey. Oh the word of God, how full of sweet flowers is it! There, the sharpest terrors, and the most fearful plagues..."
