Σελίδα 4 - And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down and worshipped him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Σελίδα 19 - He made no answer, but looked up steadfastly towards heaven, like Stephen the first martyr, his eyes streaming with tears. He did not look with anger towards me. He looked at me, but it was benignly, and with the countenance of forgiveness. His other hand was then cut off. But, sir," said Sabat, in his imperfect English, " he never changed, he never changed.
Σελίδα 14 - And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

The beams of the roof, being exposed to view, are ornamented ; and the ceiling of the choir and altar is circular and fretted. In the cathedral churches, the shrines of the deceased bishops are placed on each side of the altar.

In other copies, where the ink had less of a corroding quality, it has fallen off, and left a dark vestige of the letter, faint indeed, but not, in general, illegible. There is a volume, which was deposited in one of the remote Churches, near the mountains, which merits a particular description.

Σελίδα 34 - We believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, three persons in one God ; neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance, one in three, and three in one.

Σελίδα 48 - Some of the Jews suppose that this roll came originally from Senna, in Arabia ; others have heard that it was brought from Cashmir. The Cabul Jews, who travel annually into the interior of China, say, that in some synagogues the Law is still found written on a roll of leather; not on vellum, but on a soft flexible leather, made of goats' skin, and dyed red ; which agrees with the description of the roll above mentioned.
