Strana 219 - God hath made of one blood all the nations of the earth...
Strana 89 - This is thy work, almighty Providence ! Whose power, beyond the stretch of human thought, Revolves the orbs of empire; bids them sink Deep in the deadning night of thy displeasure, Or rise majestic o'er a wondering world.
