The student of history should see in their prosperity and misfortunes the overruling Providence vindicating his promises, and the awful majesty of eternal laws.

The man whose skeleton was now before us had ranked amongst the most chivalrous of his order, and was regarded by some people as vindicating the national honor in a point where not very long before it had suffered a transient eclipse.
The consequence was, that the authorities were forced to give way, vindicating their right of choice as to the party they should arraign.
A lodge, therefore, should not be deprived of the power of coercing such unworthy Mason, and, by salutary punishment, of vindicating the character of the institution.
He may even have been aware that, were his title to be challenged, there would be serious technical difficulties in the way of vindicating it.

Take heed of taking a part of the word only, lest thou thereby go away with the truth as mangled in pieces. Wherefore to help thee here, observe, That Christian religion requireth credit concerning every doctrine contained in the word; credit, I say, according to the true relation of every sentence that the Holy Ghost hath revealed for the asserting, maintaining, or vindicating that same truth.
It is by no means if we can apply the words 'great' and 'small' to these miraculous events one of the more striking and significant. Another point to note is that it was done evidently without the slightest intention of vindicating Christ's mission, or of preaching any truth whatever, and so it starts up into a new beauty as being simply and solely a manifestation of His love.
