  Speaker 1: by J. A. Carter. Paradise Lost by John Milton, Book ten,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Part two. He looked and saw the face of things
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: quite changed. The brazen throat of war had ceased to roar,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and now was turned to jollity and game, to luxury
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and riot, feast and dance, marrying or prostituting as befell,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: rape or adultery, where passing fare allured them. Thence from
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: cups to civil broils. At length a reverend sire among
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: them came, and of their doings great dislike, declared and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: testified against their ways. He oft frequented their assemblies whereso
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: met triumphs or festivals, and to them preached conversion and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: repentance as to souls in prison under judgments imminent but
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: all in vain, which when he saw, he ceased contending
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and removed his tents far off. Then from the mountain,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: hewing timber tall, began to build a vessel of huge bulk,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: measured by cubit length and breadth and height smeared round
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: with pitch, and in the side a door contrived, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of provisions laid in large for man and beast. When
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: lo a wonder strange of every beast and bird and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: insects small came sevens and pears, and entered in as
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: taught their order. Last, the sire and his three sons,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: with their four wives and God made fast the door. Meanwhile,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the south wind rose, and with black wings wide hovering,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: all the clouds together drove from under heaven the hills
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to their supply vapor and exhalation. Dusk and moist set
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: up a main. And now the thickened sky, like a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: dark ceiling, stood down, rushed the rain impetuous, and continued
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: till the earth no more was seen. The floating vessel
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Swum uplifted and secure with beaked prow, rode tilting o'er
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the waves, all dwellings else flood overwhelmed, and them with
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: all their pomp deep under water, rolled sea, cover'd sea,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: sea without shore, and in their palaces where luxury late reigned.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Sea monsters whelped and stabled of mankind, so numerous late
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: all left in one small bottom. Swum embarked how didst
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: thou grieve, then adam to behold the end of thy offspring,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and so sad depopulation thee another flood of tears and sorrow,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a flood thee also drowned and sunk thee as thy
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: sons till gently reared by the angel on thy feet,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Thou stood'st at last, though comfortless, as when a father
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: mourns his children, all in view, destroy'd at once, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: scarce to the angel utters. Thus thy plaint o visions
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: ill foreseen better had I lived ignorant of future, so
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: had borne my part of evil only each day's lot
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: enough to bear those now that were dispensed the burden
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of many ages on me, light at once by my foreknowledge,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: gaining birth, abortive to torment me ere, there being with
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: thought that they must be let. No man seek henceforth
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to be foretold what shall befall him or his children.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Evil he may be sure, which neither his foreknowing can prevent,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and he the future evil shall no less in apprehension
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: than in substance, feel grievous to bear. But that care
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: now is past. Man is not whom to warn those
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: few escaped famine and anguish will at last consume wandering
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and watery desert. I had hope, when violence was ceased
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and war on earth all would have gone well. Then
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: peace would have crowned, with length of happy days the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: race of man. But I was far deceived. For now
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I see peace to corrupt, no less than war to waste.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: How comes it? Thus unfold celestial guide, And whether here
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the race of man will end to whom? Thus, Michael,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: those whom thou last sawest in triumph and luxurious wealth,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: are they first seen in acts of prowess, imminent and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: great exploits, but of true virtue void, Who, having spilt
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: much blood and done much waste, subduing nations, and achieved
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: thereby fame in the world, high titles and rich prey,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: shall change their course to pleasure, ease, and sloth, surfeit
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and lust, till wantonness and pride raise out of friendship
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: hostile deeds in peace. The conquered also and enslaved by war, shall,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: with their freedom lost, all virtue lose, and fear of
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: God from whom the piety feigned in sharp contest of battle,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: found no aid against invaders. Therefore cooled in zeal thenceforth
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: shall practice how to live, secure, worldly or dissolute, on
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: what the Lord shall leave them to enjoy. For the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: earth shall bear more than enough that temperance may be tried.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So all shall turn degenerate, all depraved, justice and temperance,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: truth and faith for God one man, except the only
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: son of light. In a dark age against example, good,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: against allurement, custom, and a world offended, fearless of reproach
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and scorn or violence. He of their wicked ways shall
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: them admonish, and before them set the paths of righteousness,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: how much more safe and full of peace, denouncing wrath
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to come on their impenitence, and shall return of them derided.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But of God observed, the one just man alive by
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: his command, shall build a wondrous ark, as thou beheldest,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to save himself and household from amidst a world devote
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to universal rack. No sooner he with them of man
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and beast select for life, shall in the ark be
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: lodged and sheltered round. But all the cataracts of Heaven
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: set open on the earth, shall pour rain day and night,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: All fountains of the deep broke up, shall heave the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: ocean to usurp beyond all bounds, till inundation rise above
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the highest hills. Then shall this mount of Paradise, by
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: might of waves be moved out of his place, push'd
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: by the horned flood, with all his verdure spoil'd, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: trees adrift down the great river to the opening gulf,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and there take root an island salt and bare the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: haunt of seals and orcs and sea mews clang to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: teach thee that God attributes to place no sanctity, if
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: none be thither brought by men who there frequent or
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: therein dwell. And now what further shall ensue? Behold? He
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: look'd and saw the ark hull on the flood, which
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: now abated, for the clouds were fled, driven by a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: keen north wind, that blowing dry wrinkled the face of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: deluge as decay'd, and the clear sun on his wide
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: watery glass glazed hot, and of the fresh wave largely
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: drew as after thirst, which made their flowing shrink from
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: standing lake to tripping ebb that stole with soft foot
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: toward the deep, who now had stopped his sluices as
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the heaven his windows shut. The ark no more now floats,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: but seems to ground fast on the top of some
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: high mountain fixed, and now the tops of hills as
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: rocks appear with clamor. Thence the rapid currents drive toward
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the retreating sea, their furious tide forthwith from out the ark,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a raven flies after him. The surer messenger, a dove,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: sent forth once and again to spy green tree or ground,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: whereon his foot may light. The second time, returning in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: his bill an olive leaf he brings pacific sign anon.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Dry ground appears, and from his ark the ancient sire
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: descends with all his train. Then with uplifted hands and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: eyes devout, grateful to Heaven o'er his head beholds a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: dewy cloud, and in the cloud a bow conspicuous with
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: three lifted colors, gay, betokening peace from God and covenant.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Knew whereat the heart of Adam erst so sad greatly rejoiced,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and thus his joy brought forth O thou that future
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: things canst represent as present Heavenly instructor, I revive at
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: this last sight, assured that man shall live with all
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the creatures and their seed preserve far less. I now
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: lament for one whole world of wicked sons destroyed, than
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I rejoice for one man found so perfect and so just,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that God vouchsafes to raise another world from him and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: all his anger to forget. But say, what mean these
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: colored streaks in heaven distended as the brow of God appeased?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Or serve they as a glory verge of bind the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: florid skirts of that same watter cloud, least it again
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: dissolve and shower the earth to whom the archangel dexterously
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Thou aimest, so willingly doth God remit his ire, though late,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: repenting him of man depraved, grieved at his heart when
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: looking down he saw the whole earth filled with violence,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and all flesh corrupting each their way. Yet those removed
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: such grace shall one just man find in his sight
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that he relents not to blot out mankind, and makes
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a covenant, never to destroy the earth again by flood,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: nor let the sea surpass his bounds, nor brain to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: drown the world with man therein or beast. But when
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: he brings over the earth a cloud, will therein set
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: his triple colored bow, wherein to look and call to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: mind his covenant. Day and night, seed time and harvest,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: heat and hoary frost shall hold their course till fire
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: purge all things new, both heaven and earth, wherein the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: just shall dwell. Thus thou hast seen one world begin
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and end, and man, as from a second stock, proceed
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: much thou hast yet to see, But I perceive thy
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: mortal sight to fail. Objects divine must needs impair and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: weary human sense. Henceforth, what is to come, I will
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: relate Thou. Therefore give due audience, and attend this second
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: sours of man, while yet but few, and while the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: dread of judgment past remains freshen their minds. Fearing the deity,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: with some regard to what is just and right, shall
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: lead their lives and multiply apace, laboring the soil and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: reaping prolenteous crop, corn, wine and oil, And from the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: herd or flock oft sacrificing bullock, lamb or kid, with
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: large wine offerings poured and sacred feast, shall spend their
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: days enjoy unblamed, and dwell long time in peace by
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: families and tribes under paternal rule, till one shall rise
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of proud, ambitious heart, who not content with fair equality
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: fraternal state, will arrogate dominion undeserved over his brethren, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: quite dispossesses concord and law of nature from the earth.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Hunting and men not beasts, shall be his game, with
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: war and hostile snares, such as refuse subjection to his empire.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Tyrannus a mighty hunter. Thence he shall be styled before
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the Lord as in despite of heaven or from heaven,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: claiming secred sovereignty, and from rebellion shall derive his name.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Though of rebellion others he accused. He with a crew
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: whom like ambition, joins with him or under him to Tyrannize.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Marching from Eden toward the west, shall find the plain
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: wherein a black bitumous gurge boils out from underground the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: mouth of Hell. Of brick, and of that stuff they
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: cast to build a city in tower whose top may
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: reach the hen and get themselves a name. Least far
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: dispersed in foreign lands, their memory be lost, regardless whether
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: good or evil fame. But God who oft descends to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: visit men unseen, and through their habitations walks to mark
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: their doings them beholding, soon comes down to see their
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: city ere the tower obstruct heaven towers, and in derision,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: sets upon their tongues a various spirit to raise quite
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: out their native language, and instead to sow a jangling
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: noise of words unknown. Forthwith a hideous gable arises loud
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: among the builders, each to other calls not understood till horse,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and all in rage as mocked, they storm. Great laughter
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: was in heaven, and looking down to see the hubbub
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: strange and hear the din Thus was the building left ridiculous,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and the work confusion named whereto. Thus Adam fatherly displeased,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: O exorable son, so to aspire above his brethren to himself,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: affirming authority usurped from God not given. He gave us
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: only over beast fish, foul dominion absolute, that right we
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: hold by his donation. But man over men he made
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not lord such title to himself, reserving human left from
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: human free. But this usurper his encroachment. Proud stays not
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: on man to God his tower and t in siege
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and defiance, wretched man, What food will he convey up
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: thither to sustain himself and his rash army, where then
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: thin air above the clouds will pine his entrails gross
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and famish him of breath, if not of bread, to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: whom Thus Michael justly thou abhorrest that son, who, on
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the quiet state of men, such trouble brought, affecting to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: subdue rational liberty. Yet know withal since thy original lapse,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: true liberty is lost, which always with right reason dwells twined,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and from her hath no individual being. Reason in man
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: obscured or not obeyed. Immediately, inordinate desires and upstart passions
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: catch the government from reason and to servitude reduce man
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: till then free. Therefore, since he permits within himself unworthy
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: powers to reign over free reason, God in judgment just
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: subjects him from without to violent lords, who, oft as
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: undeservedly enthrall his outward freedom. Tyranny must be, though to
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the tyrant thereby no excuse. Yet sometimes nations will decline
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: so low from virtue, which is reason that no wrong
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: but justice, and some fatal curse annext deprives them of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: their outward liberty, their inward lost. Witness the irreverent son
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: of him who built the ark, who for the shame
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: done to his father, heard this heavenly curse. Servant of servants,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: on his viteous race. Thus will this latter as the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: former world, still tend from bad to worse, till God
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: at last, wearied by their iniquities, withdraw his presence from
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: among them and avert his holy eyes, resolving from thenceforth
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to leave them to their own polluted ways, and one
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: peculiar nation to select from the rest of whom to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: be invoked, a nation from one faithful man to spring
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: him on this side. Euphrates, yet residing bred up in
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: idle worship, O that men canst thou believe should be
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: so stupid grown, While yet the patriarch lived, who scaped
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the flood, as to forsake the living God, and all
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to worship their own work in wood and stone for gods.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Yet him, God, the most high, vouchsafes to call by
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: vision from his father's house is kindred and false gods
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: into a land, which he shall show him, and from
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: him will raise a mighty nation, and upon him shower
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: his benediction, so that in his seed all nations shall
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: be blessed. He straight obeys, not knowing to what land,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: yet firm believes I see him, But thou canst not
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: with what faith he leaves his gods, his friends, and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: native soil Ur of Chaldea, passing now the ford to Haran.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: After him a cumbrious train of herds and flocks and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: numerous servitude, not wandering poor, but trusting all his wealth
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: with God, who called him. In a land unknown Canaan
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: he now attains. I see his tents pitched about Shachem
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and the neighboring plain of Moreb. There By promise he
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: receives gift to his progeny of all that land, from
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Haymath northward to the desert south. Things by their names
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I call, though yet unnamed, from Hormone east to the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: great western Sea, Mount Hermone yonder sea. Each place behold
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in prospect, as I point them on the shore Mount Carmel,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: here the double fountain stream Jordan true limit eastward. But
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: his sons shall dwell to sinear that long ridge of hills.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: This ponder that all nations of the earth shall in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: His seed be blest. By that seed is meant thy
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: great Deliverer, who shall bruise the serpent's head, whereof to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: thee anon plainer shall be reveal'd this patriarch blest whom
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Faithful Abraham, due time shall call a son, and of
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: his son a grandchild leaves like him in faith, in
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: wisdom and renown. The grandchild, with twelve sons increased, departs
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: from Canaan to a land hereafter called Egypt, divided by
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the river Nile See, where it flows disgorging at seven
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: miles into the sea. To sojourn in that land, he
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: comes invited by a younger son in time of Dearth,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a son whose worthy deeds raise him to be the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: second in that realm of Pharaoh. There he dies and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: leaves his race, growing into a nation, and now grown
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: suspected to a sequent king, who seeks to stop their
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: overgrowth as inmate guests too numerous. Whence of guests, he
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: makes them slaves inhospitably and kills their infant males till
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: by two brethren. Those two brethren call Moses and Aaron,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: sent from God to claim his people from enthrallment. They
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: return with glory and spoil back to their promised land.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: But first the laws les tyrant who denies to know
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: their God or message to regard must be compell'd by
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: signs and judgments dire to blood unshed. The rivers must
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: be turn'd frogs, lice, and flies. Must all his palace
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: fill with loathe intrusion, and fill all the land. His
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: cattle must of wrought and moor and dye, botches and blames.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Must all his flesh emboss, and all his people Thunder
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: mixed with hail, hail mix'd with fire, must rend the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Egyptian sky and wheel on the earth, devouring where it
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: rolls what it devours, not herb or fruit or grain.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: A darksome cloud of locusts swarming down must eat, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: on the ground leave nothing. Green darkness must overshadow all
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: his bounds, palpable darkness, and blot out three days last,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: with one midnight stroke, all the first born of Egypt
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: must lie dead. Thus, with ten wounds, this river dragon,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: tamed at length, submits to let his sojourners depart, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: oft humbles his stubborn heart, but still as ice, more
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: hardened after thaw, till in his rage, pursuing whom he
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: late dismiss'd, the sea swallows him with his host, but
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: them lets pass as on dry land between two crystal walls,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: awed by the rod of Moses, so to stand divided
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: till his rescue gain their shore. Such wondrous power, God
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to his saint, shall lend though present to his angel,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: who shall go before them in a cloud and pillar
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of fire, to guide them in their journey and remove
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: behind them. While the obdurant king pursues all night, he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: will pursue, but his approach darkness defends between till morning. Watch.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Then through the fiery pillar and the cloud, God looking
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: forth will trouble all his host and craze their jariot wheels.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Then by command Moses once more his potent rod extends
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: over the sea, and the sea his rod obeys on
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: their embattled ranks. The waves return and overwhelm their war.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: The race elects safe towards Canaan from the shore, advance
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: through the wild desert, not the readiest way, least entering
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: on the Canaanite alarmed war terrify them an expert and
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: fear return them back to Egypt, choosing rather inglorious life
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: with servitude for life to noble and ignoble is more sweet,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: untrained in arms, where rashness leads not on this also
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: shall they gain by their delay in the wide wilderness.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: There they shall found their government and their great Senate.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Choose through the twelve tribes to rule by laws ordained
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: God from the Mount of Sinai, whose gray top shall tremble.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: He descending will himself in thunder lightning and loud trumpets
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: sound ordain them laws part such as apart attained to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: civil justice, part religious rites of sacrifice, informing them by
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: types and shadows of that destined seed to bruise the serpent,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: by what means he shall achieve mankind's deliverance. But the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: voice of God to mortal ear is dreadful. They beseech
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: that Moses might report to them his will and terror cease.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: He grants them their desire instructed that to God is
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: no access without mediator, whose high office now Moses in
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: figure bears to introduce one greater of whose day he
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: shall foretell, and all the prophets in their age the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: times of great Messiah shall sing. Thus laws and right established.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Such delight hath God in man obedient to his will,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that He vouchsafes among them to set up his tabernacle,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the Holy One with mortal men to dwell by his prescript.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: A sanctuary is framed of cedar, overlaid with gold, therein
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: an ark, and in this ark his testimony the records
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: of his covenant. Over these, a mercy seat of gold
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: between the wings of two bright Carabim. Before him burn
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: seven lamps, as in a zodiac representing the heavenly fires.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Over the tent, a cloud shall rest by day, a
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: fiery gleam by night, save when they journey, and at
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: length they come, conducted by his Angel to the land
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: promised to Abraham and his seed. The rest were long
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to tell how many battles fought, how many kings destroyed
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and kingdoms won, or how the sun shall in mid
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: heaven stand still an entire day and knight's due course.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Abjorn Man's voice, commanding, Sun in Gibeon stand, and thou
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: moon in the Vale of Agelan till Israel overcome. So
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: call the third from Abraham, son of Isaac, and from
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: him his whole descent, who shall thus Canaan win. Here
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Adam interposed, Oh, sent from heaven enlightener of my darkness.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Gracious things thou hast revealed, those chiefly which concern just
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Abraham at his seed. Now first I find my eyes
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: true opening, and my heart much eased. Erewhile perplexed with thoughts,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: what would become of me and all mankind. But now
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I see his day, in whom all nations shall be
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: blessed favor unmerited by me, who sought forbidden knowledge by
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: forbidden means. And yet I apprehend not why to those
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: among whom God will deign to dwell on earth, so
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: many and so various laws are given, so many laws
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: argue so many sin among them. How can God with
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: such reside to whom, Thus Michael doubt not but that
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: sin will reign among them as of thee begot. And
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: therefore was law given them to evince their natural pravity
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: by stirring up sin against law, to fight that. When
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: they see law can discover sin but not remove save
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: by those shadowy expiations weak the blood of bulls and goats,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: they may conclude, some blood more precious must be paid
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: for man, just for unjust, that in such righteousness to them,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: by faith imputed, they may find justification toward God and
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: peace of conscience, which the law by ceremonies cannot appease,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: nor man the moral part perform, and not performing cannot live.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: So law appears imperfect, and but given with purpose to
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: resign them in full time up to a better covenant discipline,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: from shadowy types of truth, from flesh to spirit, from
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: imposition of strict laws to free acceptance of large grace,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: from servile fear to filial works of law to works
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of faith. And therefore shall not Moses, though of God
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: highly beloved being, but the minister of law his people
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: into canaan lead, But Joshua, whom the gentiles Jesus call
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: his name and office bearing, who shall quell the adversary,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: separate and bring back through the world's wilderness long wandered
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: man safe to eternal paradise of rest. Meanwhile, they, in
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: their earthly canaan placed long time, shall dwell and prosper.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: But when sins national interrupt their public peace, provoking God
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to raise them enemies from whom as oft, he saves
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: them penitent by judges first, and then under kings, of
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: whom the second, both for piety, renowned and pucient deeds.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: A promise shall recede irrevocable, that his regal throne forever
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: shall endure. The like shall sing all prophecy, that of
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the royal stock of David, so I name this king
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: shall rise a sun the woman seed to thee foretold,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: foretold to Abraham, as in whom shall trust all nations,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and to kings foretold of kings the last, For off
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: his reign shall be no end. But first a long
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: succession must ensue, and his next son for wealth and
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: wisdom famed the clouded ark of God, till then intense
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: wandering shall in a glorious temple enshrine. Such follow him
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: as shall be registered part good, part bad of bad.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: The longer scroll, whose foul idolatries and other faults heaped
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: to the popular sum, will so incense God as to
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: leave them and expose their land, their city, his temple,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and his holy ark, with all his sacred things, a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: scorn and prey to that proud city whose high walls
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: thou sawest left in confusion, Babylon. Thence called there in captivity.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: He lets them dwell the space of seventy years, then
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: brings them back, remembering mercy and his covenant sworn to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: David stablish as the days of Heaven returned from Babylon
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: by leave of kings their lords, whom God disposed the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: House of God, they first re edify, and for a
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: while in mean estate live moderate till grown in wealth
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and multitude, factious, they grow, but first among the priest's
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: dissension springs men who attend the altar, and should most
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: endeavor peace, their strife pollution brings upon the temple itself.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: At last they seize the scepter and regard not David's sons,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: then lose it to a stranger, that the true anointed
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: King Messiah might be borne, barred of his right. Yet
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: at his birth, a star unseen before in heaven proclaims
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: him come and guides the Eastern sages who inquire his
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: place to offer incense, mrh and gold. His place of birth,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a solemn angel tells to simple shepherds keeping watch by night.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: They gladly thither haste, and by a choir of squadroned
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: angels hear his carol sung a virgin is his mother,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: but his sire the power of the most High, He
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: shall ascend the throne hereditary, and bound his reign with
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Earth's wide bounds, his glory with the heavens. He ceased,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: discerning Adam with such joy surcharged, as had like grief
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: beendued in tears, without the vent of words, which these
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: he breathed. O Prophet of glad tidings, finisher of utmost hope.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Now clear, I understand what oft my steadiest thoughts have
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: searched in vain, Why our great expectation should be called
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the seed a woman, virgin mother, hail high in the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: love of heaven. Yet from my loins thou shalt proceed,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: and from the womb the son of God most High.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: So God with man unites needs. Must the serpent now
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: his capital bruise expect with mortal pain. Say where and
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: when their fight, what stroke shall bruise the victor's heal
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: to whom Thus Michael dream not of their fight as
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: of a duel, or the local wounds of head or heal.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Not therefore joins the sun manhood to God Head with
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: more strength to foil thy enemy. Nor so is overcome Satan,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: whose fall from heaven a deadlier bruise disabled, not to
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: give thee thy death's wound, which he who comes thy
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: savior shall recure, not by destroying Satan, but his works
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: in thee and in thy seed. Nor can this be
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: but by fulfilling that which thou didst want. Obedience to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the law of God imposed on penalty of death and
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: suffering death, the penalty of thy transgression, Do and do
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: to theirs, which out of thine will grow. So only
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: can high justice rest a paid the law of God
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: exact he shall fulfill both by obedience and by love,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: though love alone fulfill the law. Thy punishment he shall
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: endure by coming in the flesh to a reproachful life
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: and cursed death, proclaiming life to all who shall believe
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: in his redemption, and that his obedience imputed becomes theirs
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: by faith his merits to save them, not their own,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: though legal works. For this he shall live, hated, be blasphemed,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: seized on by force, judged, and to death, condemned, a
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: shameful and a cursed, nailed to the cross by his
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: own nation, slain for bringing life. But to the cross
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: he nails thine enemies, the law that is against thee,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and the sins of all mankind with him there, crucified,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: never to hurt them more who rightly trust in his satisfaction.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: So he dies, but soon revives death over him. No
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: power shall long usurp ere. The third dawning light returned
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: the stars of morn, shall see him rise out of
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: his grave, fresh as the dawning light. Thy ransom paid,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: which man from death redeems his death for man as
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: many as offer'd life neglect not, and the benefit embrace
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: by faith not void of works. This god like act
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: annuls thy doom, the death thou shouldst have died in sin,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: for ever lost from life. This act shall bruise the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: head of Satan, crush his strength, defeating sin and death
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: his two main arms, and fix far deeper in his
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: head their stings. When temporal death shall bruise the victor's
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: heel or theirs, whom he redeems a death like sleep,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: a gentle wafting to immortal life. Nor after resurrection shall
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: he stay longer on earth than certain times to appear
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to his disciples, men who in his life still followed
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: him to them, shall leave in charge to teach all
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: nations what of him they learned, and his salvation. Them
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: who shall believe, baptizing in the profluent stream, the sign
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: of washing them from guilt of sin to life pure
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and in mind prepared, if so befall for death like
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: that which the Redeemer died, all nations they shall teach,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: for from that day, not only to the sons of
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Abraham's loins, salvation shall be preached but to the sons
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: of Abraham's faith wherever through the world, so in his
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: seed all nations shall be blessed. Then to the heaven
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: of heavens, he shall ascend with victory, triumphing through the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: air over his foes, and thine there shall surprise the
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: serpent prince of Air, and drag in chains through all
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: his realm, and there confounded leave, then enter into glory
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and resume his seat at God's right hand, exalted high
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: above all names in heaven. And thence shall come when
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: this world's dissolution shall be ripe with glory and power
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: to judge both quick and dead, to judge the unfaithful dead,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: but to reward his faithful and receive them into bliss,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: whether in heaven or earth. For then and earth shall
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: be paradise, far happier place than this of Eden, and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: far happier days. So spake the archangel Michael. Then paused,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: as at the world's great period and our sire replete
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: with joy and wonder Thus replied, O goodness, infinite goodness immense,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: that all this good of evil shall produce, and evil
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: turn to good more wonderful than that which by creation
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: first brought forth light out of darkness. Full of doubt,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I stand whether I should repent me now of sin
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: by me done and occasioned, or rejoice much more? That
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: much more good therefore shall spring to God, more glory,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: more good will to men from God, and over wrath
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: grace shall abound. But say, if our deliverer up to
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: heaven must reascend, what shall betide the few his faithful
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: left among the unfaithful herd the enemies of truth? Who
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: then shall guide his people who defend? Will they not
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: deal worse with his followers than with him? They dealt,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Be sure they will, said the Angel. But from heaven
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: he to his own a comforter, shall send the promise
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: of the Father, who shall dwell his spirit within him,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and the law of faith, working through love upon their hearts,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: shall write to guide them in all truth, and also
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: arm with spiritual armor, able to resist Satan's assaults and
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: quench the fiery darts. What man can do against them?
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Not afraid though to the death, against such cruelties, with
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: inward consolations recompensed, and oft support it, so as shall
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: maze their proudest persecutors. For the spirit powered first on
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: his apostles, whom he sins to evangelize the nations. Then
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: on all baptized, shall them, with wondrous gifts, endue to
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: speak all tongues, and to do all miracles, as did
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: their Lord before them. Thus they win great numbers of
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: each nation, to receive with joy the tidings brought from Heaven.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: At length their ministry performed, and race well run, their
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: doctrine and their story written. Left they die, but in
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: their room, as they foreworn, wolves shall succeed for teachers,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: grievous wolves, who all the sacred mysteries of Heaven to
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: their own vile advantages. Sohll turn of lucre and ambition
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: and the truth with superstitions and traditions, taint left only
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: in those written records pure though not but by the
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: spirit understood, Then shall they seek to avail themselves of names,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: places and titles, and with these to join secular power,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: though feigning still to act by spiritual to themselves, appropriating
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the spirit of God promised alike and given to all believers.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: And from that pretense, spiritual laws by carnal power shall
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: force on every conscience laws which none shall find left
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: them enrolled, or what the spirit within shall on the
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: heart and grave. What will they then but force the
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: spirit of grace itself and bind his consort liberty? What
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: but unbuild his living temples built by faith, to stand
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: their own faith, not another's. For on earth, who against
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: faith and conscience can be heard infallible? Yet many will presume.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Whence heavy persecution shall rise on all who in the
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: worship persevere of spirit and truth. The rest, far greater apart,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: will deem in outward rights and specious forms. Religion satisfied
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: truth shall retire, be struck with slanderous darts, and works
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: of faith rarely to be found. So shall the world
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: go on to good, malignant to bad men, benign under
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: her own weight, groaning to the day appear of respiration
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: to the just, and vengeance to the wicked, at return
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: of him so lately promised to thy aid the woman
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: seed obscurely then foretold, Now ampler known, thy Savior and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: thy Lord last in the clouds from heaven, to be
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: revealed in glory of the Father, to dissolve Satan with
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: his perverted world. Then raise from the conflagrant mass, purged
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and refined, new heavens new Earth, ages of endless date,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: founded in righteousness and peace and love, to bring forth fruits,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: joy and eternal bliss. He ended, and thus Adam Last replied,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: how soon hath thy prediction seere blest measured this transient world?
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: The race of time till time stand fix'd be yond
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: is all abyss eternity, whose end no eye can reach.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Greatly instructed, I shall hence depart greatly in peace of thought,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: and have my fill of knowledge what this vessel can contain,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: beyond which was my folly to aspire. Henceforth I learned
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: that to obey is best, and love with fear the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: only God to walk as in his presence, ever to
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: observe his providence, and on him soul depend merciful over
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: all his works, with good, still overcoming evil, and by
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: small accomplishing great things, by things deemed weak, subverting the
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: worldly strong and worldly wise, by simply meek. That suffering
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: for truth's sake is fortitude to highest victory and to
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: the faithful death. The Gates of life taught this by
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: his example, whom I now acknowledge, my redeemer, ever blessed
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: to whom. Thus also the Angel Last replied this having learnt,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: thou hast attained the sum of wisdom hope no higher
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: though all the stars, thou knewest by name, at all
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: the ethereal powers, all secrets of the deep, all nature's
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: works or works of God in heaven e'er earth or sea,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and all the riches of this world enjoinst and all
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: the rule one empire. Only add deeds to thy knowledge answerable,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Add faith, Add virtue, patience, temperance, Add love by name
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: to come called Charity, the soul of all the rest.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Then wilt thou not be loath to leave this paradise,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: but shall possess a paradise within thee happier far. Let
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: us descend now. Therefore, from this top of speculation, for
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: the hour precise exacts our parting. Hence, and see the
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: guards by me encamped on yonder hill, expect their motion,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: at whose front a flaming sword in signs of remove
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: waves fiercely round. We may no longer stay. Go waken
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Eve her also I will, gentle dreams have calmed, portending
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: good and all her spirits composed to meek submission, Thou
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: at season fit let her with thee partake what thou
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: hast learned, chiefly what may concern her faith to know
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: the great deliverance by her seed to come, for by
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the woman's seed on all mankind, that ye may live,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: which will be many days, both in one faith, unanimous,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: though sad, which cause for evil's past, yet much more
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: cheered with meditation on the happy end, he ended, and
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: they both descend the hill. Descended Adam to the bower
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: where Eve lay sleeping, ran before, but found her waked,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: And thus with words not sad, she him received. Whence
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: thou returnest, and whither wentest? I know? For God is
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: also in sleep and dreams advise which he hath sent
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: propitious some great good presaging, Since with sorrow and heart's
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: distress wearied, I fell asleep. But now lead on in
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: me is no delay with THEE. To go is to
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: stay here without THEE here, to stay is to go. Hence,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: unwilling thou to me art all things under heaven, all
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: places thou, who for my wilful crime art banished. Hence
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: this further consolation, yet secure I carry. Hence, though all
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: by me is lost, such favor I unworthy am vouchsafed
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: by me. The promised seed shall all restore, So spake
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: our mother Eve and Adam heard well pleased, but answered
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: not for now to nigh the archangel stood, and from
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: the other hill to their fixed station, All in bright array,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the Charabim descended on the ground, gliding meteorus as evening
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: mist risen from a river o'er. The marish glides and
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: gathers ground fast to the laborer's heel homeward. Returning high
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: in front, advanced the brandished sword of God before them
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: blazed fierce as a comet, which, with torrid heat and
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: vapor as the Libyan air a dust, began to parch
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: that temperate climb. Whereat in either hand. The hastening angel
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: caught our lingering parents, and to the eastern gate, let
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: them direct and down the cliff as fast to the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: subjected plain. Then disappeared. They, looking back all the eastern
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: side beheld of paradise. So late their happy seat waved
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: over by that flaming brand the gate with some dreadful faces,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: thronged and fiery arms. Some natural tears they dropped, but
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: wiped them. Soon the world was all before them. Where
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: to choose their place of rest and providence their guide,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: they hand in hand with wandering steps and slow through Eden,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: took their solitary way. End of Book ten, Part two,
