In Marius' note to Cosette, Jean Valjean saw only these words: "I die. When thou readest this, my soul will be near thee."
Or dost thou, notwithstanding what thou readest in the Scripture, follow the world, delight in sin, neglect coming to Jesus Christ, speak evil of the saints, slight and make a mock at the ordinance of God, delight in wicked company, and the like? Then know that it is because thou dost not in deed and in truth believe the Scriptures effectually.
Paul, when he was caught up to heaven, saw that which was unlawful, because impossible for man to utter. It is great lewdness, and also insufferable arrogancy to come to the word of God, as conceiting already that whatever thou readest, must either by thee be understood, or of itself fall to the ground as a senseless error.
"Poor Vivian!" said I, as I rose at last; "if thou readest these books with pleasure or from habit, no wonder that thou seemest to me so obtuse about right and wrong, and to have a great cavity where thy brain should have the bump of 'conscientiousness' in full salience!"
The wounded warrior raised himself on his pallet and a look of awe appeared on his face. "If thou readest the future aright, Xingudan," he said, "it would be well to save this lad and brave the anger of Heraka, if he be so bold as to defy the law of adoption." "I am old and my bones are old, but even though he is a chief above me I do not fear Heraka. Waditaka shall not burn. I have said it."
The young voice rang out clearly, rolling the sonorous words, without slip or stumbling, to the end of the chapter. Winfried listened, smiling. "My son," said he, as the reader paused, "that was bravely read. Understandest thou what thou readest?"
Poor sinner, thou readest here that but a few will be saved; that many that expect heaven will go without heaven. What sayest thou to this, poor sinner? Let me say it over again. There are but few to be saved, but very few. Let me add, but few professors but few eminent professors. What sayest thou now, sinner?
"He said unto him, 'What is written in the law? How readest thou?" "And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with 'all thy strength', and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself." "And he said unto him, Thou 'hast answered right. This do, and thou shall live." Luke x. 25-28.
"What is the book thou art reading?" inquired Gül-Bejáze. "Fairy tales and magic sentences," replied Patrona. "Is it there that thou readest all those nice stories which thou tellest me every evening?" "Yes, they are here." "Tell me, I pray thee, what thou hast just been reading?"
As to the penitent thou readest of, What's that to them who at repentance scoff. Nor is that grace at thy command or power, That thou should'st put it off till the last hour. I pr'ythee, thief, think on't, and turn betime; Few go to life who do the gallows climb. My little bird, how canst thou sit And sing amidst so many thorns? Let me a hold upon thee get, My love with honour thee adorns.
