The Saviour who flitted before the patriarchs through the fog of the old dispensation, and who spake in time past to the fathers by the prophets, articulate but unseen, is the same Saviour who, on the open heights of the Gospel, and in the abundant daylight of this New Testament, speaks to us. Still all along it is the same Jesus, and that Bible is from beginning to end all of it, the word of Christ.
John MiltonCome to the sunset tree! The day is past and gone; The woodman's axe lies free, And the reaper's work is done.
John MiltonYet beauty, though injurious, hath strange power, After offence returning, to regain Love once possess'd.
