Strana 380 - They had never heard the consolatory promise, " though thy sins be as " scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though " they be like crimson, they shall be as wool," or been taught " the blessedness of that man " whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins
Strana 293 - A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
