He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the intermission, between group one and group two, you go to your dressing-room and change every stitch you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35582]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the intermission, between group one and group two, you go to your dressing-room and change every stitch you have on you: underwear, shirt, tie, socks, pants and tails.
