Though not a death-blow, the torture was extreme. The exhibition proceeded.
Other books often plead for human nature; this presents it just as it is its perversity and deformity on the one side; its susceptibilities to improvement, its capability of excellency, on the other. Though it reveals to us our humble origin the brotherhood of worms on the one side, it unveils to us our relation to angels and archangels, on the other.
Do you recall those wonderful sentences, scattered here and there about the apostle's writings, and beginning with the words "but now"?
