Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Scots Earl, in Covenanting Times: Being, Life and Times of Archibald, 9th Earl of Argyll (1629-1685) God of our fathers! What is man, That Thou, towards him, with hand so various, Or might I say contrarious, Temper´st Thy providence through his short course, Not evenly, as Thou rulest The angelic orders, and inferior creatures mute, Irrational and brute? Nor do I name of men the common rout, That, wandering loose about, Grow up and perish, as the summer fly, Heads without name, no more remember´d; But such as Thou hast solemnly elected, With gifts and graces eminently adorn´d, To some great work, Thy glory, And people´s safety, which in part they effect; Yet toward these, thus dignified, Thou oft, Amidst their height of noon, Changest Thy countenance, and Thy hand, with no regard Of highest favours past From Thee on them, or them to Thee of service. Milton: Samson Agonistes. Si magnus vir cecidit, magnus jacuit. Non magis ilium contemni, quam cum aedium sacrarum ruinae calcantur, quas religiosi aeque ac stantes adorant. (Seneca, De Consolatione, Chapter XIII). Non tamcn pigebit vel inconditâ ac rudi voce memoriam prioris servitutis ac testimonium praesentium bonorum composuisse. (Tacitus, Julii Agricolae Vita).
