Why then dost thou thus madly cling to and embrace that glory, which, like spring flowers, fadeth and perisheth, and to beastly unsavoury wantonness, and to the abominable passions of the belly and the members thereunder, which for a season please the senses of fools, but afterwards make returns more bitter than gall, when the shadows and dreams of this vain life are passed away, and the lovers thereof, and workers of iniquity are imprisoned in the perpetual pain of dark and unquenchable fire, where the worm that sleepeth not gnaweth for ever, and where the fire burneth without ceasing and without quenching through endless ages?
"In my Father's house are many mansions" "we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Must they now look on all the fields around them, and sigh to think that they belong to another? Through the grace of the Gospel they anticipate "an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away."
"The Voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? And the Voice answered. All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: the grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: Surely the people is grass."
"Sartin, sartin, Mas'r George; you go 'long, and I'll get ye up a bit o' chicken, or some sich; ye won't have many more suppers wid yer poor old aunty." "The Grass Withereth the Flower Fadeth" Life passes, with us all, a day at a time; so it passed with our friend Tom, till two years were gone.
Love that lasteth till 'tis old Fadeth not in haste." 'Twas about candlelight when I awoke, and Dorothy was sitting alone beside me. Her fingers were resting upon my arm, and she greeted me with a smile all tenderness. "And does my Lord feel better after after his excitement to-day?" she asked. "Dorothy, you have made me a whole man again. I could walk to Windsor and back."
This Monsieur Capitano eate vp the creame of my earnings, and Crede mihi res est ingeniosa dare, any man is a fine fellow as long as he hath anie monie in his purse. That monie is like the marigolde, which opens and shuts with the Sunne, if fortune smileth, or one be in fauour, it floweth: if the euening of age comes on, or he falleth into disgrace, it fadeth and is not to be found.
All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:... The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
There is scarcely any irrigation; and though the soil is so productive that wherever the land is cultivated, good crops are commonly obtained by means of the spring rains, while elsewhere nature at once spontaneously robes herself in verdure of the richest kind, yet no sooner does summer arrive than barrenness is spread over the scene; the crops ripen and are gathered in; "the grass withereth, the flower fadeth;" the delicate herbage of the plains shrinks back and disappears; all around turns to a uniform dull straw-color; nothing continues to live but what is coarse, dry, and sapless; and so the land, which was lately an Eden, becomes a desert.
She has lost sight of the transient laurel wreath which she sought to grasp at such cost to herself and others, in view of the "crown of glory that fadeth not away," and to this already, as an earnest Christian, she has added starry jewels. Below is the Ludolph Hall in which sturdy independence led her to begin her married life.
While on earth, they love his day, his service, his people; they "speak good of his name;" they abound in his works. Even here they are in some degree possessed of his image, by and by it shall be perfected; they shall awake up after his "likeness," and being "heirs of eternal life," they shall receive "an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away."
