Spurgeon's Sermons Volume 22: 1876 by Spurgeon, Charles Haddon (1834-1892)
"Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians, 5:17. WE shall try to preach, this morning, of Christ as the Author of the new creation and may we be enabled by the Holy Spirit to speak to His Glory.
History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbon, Edward (1737-1794)
The distinction of ranks and persons is the firmest basis of a mixed and limited government. In France, the remains of liberty are kept alive by the spirit, the honors, and even the prejudices, of fifty thousand nobles.
Holy Living by Taylor, Jeremy (1613-1667)
It is a matter of high importance in all days, and especially in days of popular anxiety like our own, to keep before us the examples of minds distinguished in the former trials of our country.
Complete Works of Thomas Manton, D.D. Vol. V by Manton, Thomas (1620-1677)
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die; for I have not found thy works perfect before God.—Rev. III. 2. IN scriptures wherein the expression is anything more difficult, wits are most rank and luxuriant, every one taking a liberty to affix his own sense there, where the true and genuine sense is not so obvious and easily found out;…
Works of Dr. John Tillotson, Late Archbishop of Canterbury. Vol. 08. by Tillotson, John (1630-1694)
RUE CHRISTIANS. For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.—1 Thess. iv. 14. THE words which I have read are an argument of the blessed resurrection of good men to eternal life, grounded upon the resurrection of Christ.
Spurgeon's Sermons Volume 47: 1901 by Spurgeon, Charles Haddon (1834-1892)

History of the Origins of Christianity. Book V. The Gospels. by Renan, Joseph Ernest (1823-1892).
The Christianity of the Greek countries had still greater need than those of Syria for a written version of the life and teaching of Jesus. It appears at the first glance that it would have been very simple, for the satisfaction of that demand,…
Works of Dr. John Tillotson, Late Archbishop of Canterbury. Vol. 06. by Tillotson, John (1630-1694)
SE WHICH HE GAVE TO HIS APOSTLES. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth: go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: audio, I am with you alway,…
History of the Origins of Christianity. Book VII. Marcus-Aurelius. by Renan, Joseph Ernest (1823-1892).
The philosophy, which had so thoroughly conquered the mind of Marcus-Aurelius, was hostile to Christianity. Fronton, his tutor, seems to have been full of prejudice against the Christians; and we know that Marcus-Aurelius guarded like a religion the recollections of his youth, and the impression made by his teachers.
Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek. Additional Notes. by Swete, Henry Barclay (1835-1917)
