That which is crooked, cannot be made straight; and that which in wanting, cannot be numbered." Eccles. i., 15.In the preceding lecture, I undertook to expose the fallacies of the argument used by Mr. Wood in his second lecture, to prove the mode of baptism from analogy, by setting up a plea that literal or water baptism must be administered by pouring, because the Spirit of God is represented as having been poured out. This argument we answered by showing that the pouring out of the Spirit is nowhere called baptism, either by apostle or prophet; and that the literal meaning of a word is not to be settled by its figurative use. Than this, no law of language or principle of interpretation is better understood by linguists and lexicographers, and hence whoever endeavors to establish the literal meaning of a word, by itsfigura-104tive use in some relations, falls into a very gross and palpable error.We endeavored to show that such was the precise nature of the mistake into which Mr. Wood had fallen, in his labored effort to set aside the true meaning of the verb baptizo -- that the principle of interpretation which he laid down as a settled truth was built upon a bed of quicksand, and hence that his inference drawn from his principle was entitled to no weight in this controversy, and did not amount even to " presumptive evidence... ...

Worth every penny !!
The most wonderful book on the hardest working, most underrated HD - the 45.This book does what most fail to do, it recognises the effect this small unassuming two wheeler has had on the lives of so many for so long.

Family transport during the depression, defender of the free world, mobile shop (servicar!), post war family transport, race bike, police utility, brakedown vehicle, Europes post war intro to the HD breed, and the ultimate custom canvass. The 45 has lived many lives with reliabilty (!), dignity, and pride.

John & Garry do a superb job, and its good to see a book that contains so much UK homegrown content. - Especially the 45 once owned by Krazy Horse Kustoms very own Steve Studd (its still going strong after many years too!!). ... Read more

Product Description
The aim of this book is to remove the mystique surrounding reliability engineering techniques. It provides practical guidance to the practising engineer who may have a general knowledge of the concepts of reliability, but who lacks a sufficiently precise understanding of the language of reliability engineering to be able to make effective use of the techniques available. This edition revises and updates the earlier text, and includes new sections on CUSUM analysis and Laplace trend tests, which are included along with a new appedix on sources of mechanical reliability data. ...

Product Description

Following in the tradition of Don Quixote, Earl Lavender is the story of two impecunious gentlemen who run away from their conventional lives, style themselves 'Earl Lavender' and 'Lord Brumm', and set out to preach the new creed of Evolution. Their hilarious romp across London leads them to all sorts of strange adventures, such as a wild hansom cab chase, a sojourn among a subterranean society of flagellants, and the discovery of the evolutionary 'Missing Link'.

A key Decadent text, Earl Lavender (1895) is also Davidson's response to what he saw as some of the more ridiculous ideas and behaviours of the age. This new edition features a new introduction by Mark Valentine and a reproduction of the original frontispiece by Aubrey Beardsley.

John Davidson (1857-1909) was a Scottish poet, playwright, and novelist. Although during his lifetime he was compared favourably with Hardy, Housman, and Yeats, and admired by Shaw and T. S. Eliot, Davidson's reputation has languished since his tragic suicide. Long out of print, Earl Lavender is now restored to modern audiences, who will find that Davidson's humour and satire are as fresh today as in 1895. ... Read more

Long awaited
In the grand scheme of things, the literature of the 1890s has a cultural weight that the modest means and ambitions of it writers cannot bare. If you like it, you like it and if you like it this is a welcome edition to your library. The book can actually be read without the worry of damaging a valuable first edition. The book itself? If you like Wise Blood by Flannery O'Conner you'll like this. It's a good book. Read it. ... Read more

Brian To-day we freeze, to-morrow fry. BasilAnd yesterday the black rain fell In sheets from London's smoky sky, Like water through a dirty sieve. MenziesMarch many weathers, as they say, In country nooks where proverbs live, And folk distinguish night from day.Sandy Well, we shall make a day of night: Behold with gules and or a fire Emblazoned, and a mellow light; And things that journalists require.So let us open out our lore,And chat as snugly as the dead;And damned be those who came before, And all our brilliant sayings said.BrianI love not brilliance; give me words Of meadow-growth and garden plot, Of larks and blackcaps; gaudy birds, Gay flowers and jewels like me not. BasilThe age-end journalist it seemsCan change his spots and turn his dress, For you are he whose copy teemsWith paradox and preciousness.Brian Last night I watched the evening star Outshine the moon it so excelled; And since my thought has been afar With deep and simple things of eld.I heard in Fleet Street all the day,While traffic rolled and bells were rung,The sombre, wailing Tenebrae, The Sistine Miserere sung. I saw great people make their Maunds;The prelate leave his lofty seat; A kaiser break imperial bondsTo serve the poor and wash their feet.I saw where countless hearts besought Pardon, for heaven's sweet peace athirst;And through my soul the tender thought Of Mary, Virgin-mother pierced.I saw a city kneeling down,I saw the gonfanon unfurled, I saw the Pope in triple crownStand up for God and bless the world.Templars I saw, and monks and nuns, I saw frail priests strong kings comm... ...
