Cartwright also referreth the sign of the cross to the mark of the beast. Pareus approveth the Bishop of Salisbury’s exposition, and placeth the common mark of the beast the observation of antichrist’s festival days, and the rest of his ceremonies, which are not commanded by God.

So the drums were beating on the palace lawn, and afternoon found the trails gay with pareus and brilliant shawls as the natives came down from their paepaes to the seat of government. Chief Kekela Avaua, adopted son of the old Kekela, and head man of the Paamau district, called for me.

Why should Paul's laboring be restrained here to his preaching only? when Paul speaks of his own labor elsewhere, he speaks of it in another sense, 2 Cor. xi. 17, "in labor and weariness" compare it with the context; and in this place judicious Calvin seems rather to interpret it of other manner of labor, and Pareus extends it, besides preaching, to divers other labors which Paul did undergo. 3.

An extensive traveller, a man of ripe culture, having been a successful lawyer before the ministry attracted him, he was the friend of Francis Bacon, of Archbishop Usher and the famous Heidelberg theologian, David Pareus.

Fresh torches were made, and many disputed the privilege of holding them, as they controlled one's view of the mat. O Lalala sat imperturbable, waiting. At last all was ready. The light fell upon the giant limbs and huge torsos of the men, picking out arabesques of tattooing and catching ruddy gleams from red pareus.

The reasons whereby their judgment is confirmed are these:— Many societies convened to the eating of the paschal supper by twenties. Neque esus umus agni, saith Pareus, toti familiae sedandae fami sufficere poterat. The paschal supper was not for banquetting or filling of the belly, as Josephus also writeth.

Half a dozen men, tattooed from toes to waist and some to the roots of their hair, sat on a mat on the floor, all naked except for their pareus, the red and yellow of which shone in the light of the oil-lamps in brightening contrast to brown skins and dark blue ink. One was far gone with fefe, his legs almost as large as those of an elephant. He was a grotesque in hideous green.
