I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed. 4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil.
Thirdly, we are told that if these answers which our opposites give get no place, then shall we use nothing at all which hath been used by idolaters, and by consequence, neither baptism nor the Lord’s supper. But let Zanchius answer for us, that these things are by themselves necessary, so that it is enough they be purged from the abuse.
“Which is he?” asked Democrates again, stepping softly as though going to danger. “The further one is Phormio, the nearer is my Lord’s enemy. Your Excellency need not fear to draw close. He is quite secure.” “Give me the candle.” Democrates held the light high and trod gently over to the prostrate men. Hiram spoke rightly that his victim was secure.
She took from the sieve and scattered over the wings and heads, with a hand white as pearls, a dense pearly hail of barley grains: it was grain worthy of a lord’s table, and was made for thickening the Lithuanian broths; by stealing it from the pantry cupboard for her poultry Zosia did damage to the housekeeping.

What Protestant knows not that the vassals of Antichrist have drawn the Lord’s supper into the worst and most pernicious abuses, as also the ordination of ministers, and other ordinances of the gospel?
When, however, thou dost contemplate the innermost essence of all things, and the individuality of each, thou wilt behold the signs of thy Lord’s mercy in every created thing, and see the spreading rays of His Names and Attributes throughout all the realm of being, with evidences which none will deny save the froward and the unaware.
Whatsoever gesture in process of time crept into the Lord’s supper otherwise than sitting, of it we may truly say, “from the beginning it was not so.” Sect. 1.
