So chap. xxxvi. 25, "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean; from all your filthiness, and from all your idols will I cleanse you." Now all the promises of the covenant of grace are confirmed to us in the Mediator. For, "in him all the promises of the covenant are yea and amen," 2 Cor. i. 20.
XXXVI. I shall nevertheless look into the matter, and consider what the value of the thing promised may be. If it be trifling, I shall give it, not because you are worthy of it, but because I promised it, and I shall not give it as a present, but merely in order to make good my words and give myself a twitch of the ear. I will punish my own rashness in promising by the loss of what I gave.
The passage Rom. iii. 11-18 is highly composite, and reminds us of long strings of quotations that are found in some of the Fathers; it is made up of Ps. xiv. 1, 2, v. 9, cxl. 3, x. 7, Is. lix. 7, 8, Ps. xxxvi. 1. A shorter example is
I , ch. iv; H. O. Wakeman, The Ascendancy of France, 1598-1715 , ch. viii, xii, xiii; Arthur Hassall, The Balance of Power, 1715-1789 , ch. v, xi; A. H. Johnson, The Age of the Enlightened Despot, 1660-1789 , ch. iv, v; H. T. Dyer, A History of Modern Europe from the Fall of Constantinople, 3d ed. rev. by Arthur Hassall, 6 vols. , ch. xxxvi, xxxviii, xli, xlix, 1.
Warmly espouses the lady's cause. Nothing but vanity and nonsense in the wild pursuits of libertines. For his own sake, for his family's sake, and for the sake of their common humanity, he beseeches him to do this lady justice. LETTER XXXVI. Lord M. to Mr. Belford. A proverbial letter in the lady's favour. LETTER XXXVII. Lovelace to Belford. He ludicrously turns Belford's arguments against him.
'They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou shalt make them drink of the river of Thy pleasures. 9. For with Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy light shall we see light. PSALM xxxvi. 8, 9.
The composite nature of the text is discussed by Professor Jastrow in his Hebrew and Babylonian Traditions, pp. 89 ff.; and in his paper in the Journ. Amer. Or. Soc., Vol. XXXVI , pp. 279 ff.; he has analysed it into two main versions, which he suggests originated in Eridu and Nippur respectively.
XXXVI. He suppressed all foreign religions, and the Egyptian and Jewish rites, obliging those who practised that kind of superstition, to burn their vestments, and all their sacred utensils.
And yet he had greater knowledge about all the things of which he spoke than any other teacher ever had. We are told in the book of Job that "He is perfect in knowledge." Job xxxvi: 5. And the apostle Paul tells us that "in him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Col. ii: 3. This is more than can be said of any man, or any angel.
And I saw that across the top of it is spread a thin, a very thin, sheet of ice, of wicked wealth and of lying journalism. And as I stood there in the darkness I could almost fancy that I heard it crack. XXXVI. A Somewhat Improbable Story I cannot remember whether this tale is true or not. If I read it through very carefully I have a suspicion that I should come to the conclusion that it is not.
