And there are very few that have any true kindness for it; and thou knowest not the worth of that jewel, thy soul: but here, here's a Friend; if thou wilt but leave it with him, he will take care of it; it shall not be marted away for nothing. Here's one will do that for its security, honour, and happiness, that all the world besides cannot do. If, therefore, thou hast any love for thy poor soul; if thou settest any price upon that precious thing within thee; in a word, if thou wouldst have thy soul do well in another world, oh strike in here, close with these tenders, listen to the counsel of Him who offers you the best advice in the world. He, he it is that now offers thee that thou canst never value enough; he it is that will feed, clothe, and portion that soul of thine, and after that marry thee to his only Son; by which match you will be made for ever. Oh, did men and women but know what a soul is: did they imagine what a dreadful miscarriage that of a soul is; did they but in any measure understand the things of their peace; could they but conceive what God could and would do for their souls, I need spend but little time in persuading them to commit their souls to him, to be acquainted with him, who will be sure to take special care of their souls, that they may do well, whatever is neglected. Oh could you but see, did you but know what a sad taking they are in that go into the other world with a poor, naked soul, and know nobody in the world there, and -have never a friend that doth take any notice of them, you would then think I spoke what I do with reason enough, and that my words were too short, and my expostulations too faint, in a matter of such concernment. 0 sinners, I tell you, nay, God tells you, ..

Bruce Metzger calls the Westcott-Hort text "The most noteworthy critical edition of the Greek Testament ever produced by British scholarship." In their monumental critical edition of "The New Testament in the Original Greek," Cambridge professors B. F. Westcott and F. J. A. Hort established the Greek text that has become the essential basis for nearly all subsequent editions and English translations. Through their groundbreaking reconstruction of New Testament textual history and their rigorous reexamination of the manuscript evidence, Westcott and Hort inaugurated a new era of textual study that has set the stage for all subsequent work. Beyond preserving the landmark text, this new edition offers students and scholars alike a handy and affordable Greek Testament for day-to-day use that includes English headings, synoptic parallels, and complete references to Old Testament quotations. This edition also includes a revision and expansion of Alexander Souter's "A Pocket Lexicon of the Greek New Testament." Long a favorite among biblical scholars, Souter's "Pocket Lexicon" offers concise yet clear English definitions and helpful grammatical information on every Greek word used in the New Testament. A Foreword by renowned New Testament textual scholar, Dr. Eldon J. Epp, sets the Westcott-Hort text in historical perspective for contemporary readers. FEATURES - Detailed apparatus comparing the Westcott/Hort text with differences in the 27th edition of Nestle/Aland and Robinson/Pierpont Byzantine editions - Complete references to Old Testament citations and synoptic gospel parallels - English section headings for easy navigation - Revised and expanded Souter Greek dictionary - Bible maps

Written after the Black Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of London of 1666, James Janeway appeals to his reader to recognize in Jesus Christ the Best Friend in the Worst Times. Be prepared for a spiriitual feast fit for the children of the King. "This book is as precious as the finest gold. Its author, James Janeway, stirs the hearts of his readers, not to rest in a cold, speculative knowledge of God, but to seek that experimental knowledge of Him which enflames hearts, transforms lives, and affords unspeakable happiness throughout eternity. There is no friend in all the world like Jesus Christ, our blessed Saviour! So take this book, read it prayerfully, and discover for yourselves the intimacy of His blessed presence and company. Here is pure heart religion, needed more than anything else in these barren and lifeless times. James Janeway will help us to understand what John Holland, another Puritan, meant, when on his death-bed, he called out, 'Oh, speak it when I am gone, and preach it at my funeral - that God dealeth familiarly with men.' " - Malcolm H. Watts, Minister of Emmanuel Church, Salisbury, England
