Popular passages
Page 308 - ... affairs of heaven Were clearly pointed out to him. The great God Personally instructed him, Gave him odes and documents, And communicated to him the true doctrine. God also gave him a seal, And conferred upon him a sword, Connected with authority, And majesty irresistible.
