Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Edward Reynolds, D.D., Lord Bishop of Norwich, Vol. 6 of 6: Now First Collected With His Funeral Sermon, by B. Riveley, One of His Lordship's Chaplains; To Which Is Prefixed a Memoir of the Life of the Author
Goliath used to slay himself; that thei gold, and myrrh, and frankincense of the Wise men of the East, was offered unto the Christ; when I find the apostle convincing the Jews out of their law, and the philosophers out of their maxims; and every1 gift, as well as every creature of God, is good, and may be sanctified for the use and delight of man; I then conclude with myself, that the moral and philosophical glass of the human soul may be of some service even unto the tabernacle, as them looking-glasses of the Israelitish women were unto the altar.
