Page 15 - WHOSOEVER will be saved : before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith. Which Faith, except every one do keep whole and undefiled : without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
Page 421 - Of his dominion may no end be known, And greater than his father's be his throne ; Beyond Love's Kingdom let him stretch his pen !' — He paused, and all the people cried, ' Amen,' Then thus continued he : ' My son, advance Still in new impudence, new ignorance.
