Let the princes hear and be afraid. But we must, in the meantime, be very careful not to despise or violate that authority of magistrates, full of venerable majesty, which God has established by the weightiest decrees, even though it may reside with the most unworthy men, who defile it as much as they can with their own wickedness. For, if the correction of unbridled despotism is the Lord's to avenge, let us not at once think that it is entrusted to us, to whom no command has been given except to obey and suffer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They can always come in.

Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61372]]></link><description><![CDATA[That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here honor binds me, and I wish to satisfy it. [Lat., Ici l'honneur m'oblige, et j'y veux satisfaire.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here honor binds me, and I wish to satisfy it. [Lat., Ici l'honneur m'oblige, et j'y veux satisfaire.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:  As, painfully to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:  As, painfully to pore upon a book,   To seek the light of truth, which truth the while    Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11842</guid></item></channel></rss>
