עמוד 60 - It matters not ! Pray, not for me, but for the Word of God. Before my blood has grown cold, thousands of men in the whole world will have become responsible for having shed it ! The most holy adversary of Christ, the father, the master, the generalissimo of murderers, insists on its being shed. So be it ! Let God's will be done ! Christ will give me his Spirit to overcome these ministers of error. I despise them during my life ; I shall triumph over them by my...
עמוד 30 - Thou, Lord Jesus, art my righteousness, but I am thy sin; thou hast assumed what was mine, and given me what was thine; thou hast assumed what thou wast not, and given to me what I was not.
