Page 26 - I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot : I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Page 46 - La bufera infernal, che mai non resta, Mena gli spirti con la sua rapina ; Voltando e percotendo li molesta. Quando giungon davanti alla ruina, Quivi le strida, il compianto e il lamento ; Bestemmian quivi la virtù Divina.

Quando leggemmo il disiato riso Esser baciato da cotanto amante, Questi, che mai da me non fia diviso, La bocca mi baciò tutto tremante : Galeotto fu il libro e chi lo scrisse : Quel giorno più non vi leggemmo avante. Mentre che 1' uno spirto questo disse, L' altro piangeva sì, che di pietade Io venni meno sì com' io morisse ; E caddi, come corpo morto cade.

Page xxv - I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body I cannot tell; or whether out of the body I cannot tell: God knoweth); such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth); How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Page 249 - And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven, and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
