And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evil-doing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ. Now if this be true, and if sin and scandal may conceivably penetrate even the inmost circle of the chosen, how great an error it is to break, because of these offenses, the unity of the Church, and institute some new communion, purer far than the Churches of Corinth and Galatia, which were not abandoned but reformed, and more impenetrable to corruption than the little group of those who ate and drank with Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Divert her eyes with pictures in the fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Divert her eyes with pictures in the fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am your host. With robber's hands in my hospitable favors  You should not ruffle thus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19867]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am your host. With robber's hands in my hospitable favors  You should not ruffle thus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are. intangible realities which float near us, formless and without words; realities which no one has thought out, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14567]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are. intangible realities which float near us, formless and without words; realities which no one has thought out, and which are excluded for lack of interpreters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430   None can become fit for the future life, who hath ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430   None can become fit for the future life, who hath not practiced himself for it now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like Bush because I don't think he understands poverty or the problems of developing countries.
