Qui posuit fines tuos pacem: et adipe frumenti satiat te. Qui emittit eloquium suum terræ velociter currit sermo ejus. Qui dat nivem sicut lanam nebulam sicut cinerem spargit. Mittit crystallum suam sicut buccellas: ante faciem frigoris ejus quis sustinebit? Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea: flabit strengthened the bolts of thy gates: He hath blessed thy children within thee. Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn. Who sendeth forth His speech to the earth: His word runneth swiftly. Who giveth snow like wool: and scattereth mists like ashes. He sendeth forth His crystal like morsels: before the face of His cold who shall stand? He shall send out His and shall melt word, spiritus ejus, et fluent them: His wind shall aquæ. Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob: justitias et judicia sua Israel. Non fecit taliter omni : blow, and the waters shall run. Who declareth His word to Jacob: His justice and His judgments to Israel. He hath not dealt so with every nation: and eis. His judgments He hath not made manifest to them. Glory &c. nationi et judicia sua non manifestavit Gloria &c. B LESSON. RETHREN, he that soweth sparingly shall reap shall reap also of blessings. Every one as he hath determined in his heart; not with sadness, or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound in every good work: as it is written, He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor: his justice endureth for ever. And He that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice. (Cor. ii. 9.)
