Seite 471 - The place of justice is a hallowed place; and therefore not only the Bench, but the foot pace and precincts and purprise thereof ought to be preserved without scandal and corruption.
Seite 422 - And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
