Overview

Excerpt from The Eight Beatitudes Should a miner's child, busy with his own little pick, find some choice gems or bits of ore, he would surely run to his father to rejoice with him. God's Word, as all who search it know, is a mine of bid treasure; but, unlike earth's mines, the more this is worked, the more it yields. Earth's mines are dark, but this hath no need of the sun, for the Lord God by His Spirit doth lighten it. Working here, where you for the better part of threescore years and ten have wrought, I have turned out some precious particles which I would bring to you. Some of the thoughts of wise divines and commentators upon the Word of God are surface indications of the treasure beneath; others are rare flowers springing from the soil. Of the latter, I have gathered a few which seemed to me sweet and fresh with the breath and dews of heaven, and twined them together with a thread of my own spinning. Any one may dig or cull the like; but, gems and blossoms, would you pass an: to others for a Christmas gift and posy, in this, and ever.
