Miscellanea

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

In Much the Best Life Faileth

To wash away the crimson stain, / grace, grace alone availeth; / our works, alas! are all in vain; / in much the best life faileth: / no man can glory in thy sight, / all must alike confess thy might, / and live alone by mercy.
