Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land, She maketh linen garments and selleth them, And delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come.
In the former, he saith as it were passingly, 'Do this in remembrance of me: but here he sitteth down again; he desires them to consider what he hath done; tells them positively 'that as he hath done to them, so ought they to do to one another: and yet again he redoubles that precept, by telling them, 'that he has given them an example, that they should do so likewise. If we respect the nature of the thing, it hath as much in it as either baptism or the breaking of the bread; seeing it is an outward element of a cleansing nature, applied to the outward man, by the command and the example of Christ, to signify an inward purifying.
We are taught to believe that Jesus descended into Hell and then ascended into Heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God. What is this Hell into which Jesus is supposed to have descended?
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

You can hardly open either of those books, but somewhere in their pages you will find a description of the wicked man's attempts against the poor: such as "He doth ravish the poor when he getteth him into his net." "He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages; his eyes are privily set against the poor." "In his pride he doth persecute the poor, and blesseth the covetous, whom God abhorreth."
They add, that at their last communion more than eighty souls sat down at the Lord's table; and it seemed as if He who sitteth between the cherubim was present in the church. The first revival in Oroomiah seemed to burst forth like a fountain in the desert.
Heaven was on their side, "In vain did the heathen rage and the people imagine vain things. He who sitteth in the heavens, laughed; the Lord had them in derision." The Wisdom of God in the means used to propagating the Gospel. 1 Corinthians i, 27, 28.
