Страница 626 - Honest men served you faithfully in this action. Sir, they are trusty ; I beseech you, in the name of God, not to discourage them.

Страница 633 - The Lord cause His face to shine upon you, and comfort you in all your adversities ; and enable you to do great things for the glory of your Most High God, and to be a relief unto His people.
