LORD is the death of his saints. O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy
servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. I will offer
to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from
the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking
lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding
to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be
received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every
creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with
thanksgiving:
VI. IS CHARACTERIZED
