[…] whom Christ will profe•s, I never knew […]: Depart from me ye that work iniquity, •atth. 7.22, 23. When many shall come ••om the East and Wst, and shall sit down th Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; but the children […] the Kingdom shall be cast out into ter darkness: there shall be weeping […] gnashing of teeth]
