It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The full-blown rose, mid dewy sweets Most perfect dies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54423]]></link><description><![CDATA[The full-blown rose, mid dewy sweets Most perfect dies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty: the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66867]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty: the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is a very important part of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is a very important part of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when he fills out a job application form. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46116]]></link><description><![CDATA[The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when he fills out a job application form.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we consider eternity, into that time never entered; eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14199]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we consider eternity, into that time never entered; eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period; and eternity had been the same as it is, though time had never been.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It appears the Scottish people have rejected separatism this evening.
