was lost in amaZement, I heard a strong
voice that sounded as thought it might

exposures and triumphant AS though ii
might have belonged TO one of The
martyrs, and IL said: Not many mighty
not many noble are called, but God
hath chosen the weak things of the
world 10 confound the things which

world which are despised hath God
chosen, yea, and things which are

the ship was halted within q few yards
