was ever lost. II seems that he was looking

number" the greatest number with him

inscription, the following passage OF Scripture
was recorded He that giveth TO the poor
lendeth TO the Lord" "Dat may be so,psoli.

de Lord didn't owe i'm one red cent Eyah
eyah e'yahi" Nowif that isn't Q good speci-
men Of satire, BY inversion, we have miscop.
