For though the early nature, our old man, can oblige or accustom himself to take heavenly words at certain times into his mouth, yet this is a certain truth, that nothing ever did, or can have the least desire or tendency to ascend to heaven, but that which came down from heaven; and therefore nothing in the heart can pray, aspire, and long after God, but the Spirit of God moving and stirring in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between the businesse of life and the day of death, a space ought to be interposed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between the businesse of life and the day of death, a space ought to be interposed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the sentinel stars set their watch in the sky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57827]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the sentinel stars set their watch in the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It basically describes a day in the life of Charlie Brown.
