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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I teach that all are men are mad. [Lat., Doceo insanire omnes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21019]]></link><description><![CDATA[I teach that all are men are mad. [Lat., Doceo insanire omnes.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But where are the snows of yester year? [Fr., Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan?] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56721]]></link><description><![CDATA[But where are the snows of yester year? [Fr., Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time we try to move a piece of furniture, it just falls apart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time we try to move a piece of furniture, it just falls apart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33583]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge.
