Shakespeare,

BOOK OF LIFE.

If ever I were traitor,

My name be blotted from the Book of Life,
And I from Heaven banish'd, as from hence.

If thy offences were upon record,

RICHARD II. i. 3.

Would it not shame thee to read a lecture
Of them?

[blocks in formation]

Mark'd with a blot, damn'd in the Book of Heaven.

RICHARD II. iv. 1.

BOW THE KNEE.

Rather let my head

Stoop to the block, than these knees bow to any,
Save to the God of Heaven, and to my king.

2 HENRY VI. iv. 1.

On my knee

I give Heaven thanks, I was not like to thee.

KING JOHN, i. 1.

Help, angels, make assay!

Bow, stubborn knees! and, heart, with strings of steel, Be soft as sinews of the new-born babe.

CAIN.

HAMLET, iii. 3.

With Cain go wander through the shade of night,
And never shew thy head by day nor light.

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life.

REVELATION, iii.

ISAIAH, xlv.

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God!

And they cried before him, Bow the knee.

Behold, Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from Thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth.

To thread the postern of a needle's eye.

RICHARD II. v. 5.

CAUSE.

God befriend us, as our cause is just.

1 HENRY IV. v. 1.

CHRIST.

Many a time hath banish'd Norfolk fought
For Jesu Christ in glorious christian field
Streaming the ensign of the christian cross,
Against black pagans, Turks, and Saracens.

RICHARD II. iv. 1.

It hath been taught us from the primal state,
That He which is, was wish'd until He were.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, i. 4.

And there, at Venice, gave

His body to that pleasant country's earth,
And his pure soul unto his captain Christ,
Under whose colours he had fought so long.

RICHARD II. iv. 1.

Holy Writ.

CAMEL.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

CAUSE.

MATTHEW, xix.

I would seek unto God; and unto God would I commit my

cause.

JOB, V.

CHRIST.

He that loseth his life for My sake, shall find it: whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in Heaven.

Behold, God Himself is with us for our Captain.

2 CHRONICLES, xiii.

CHRIST (continued).

And, were these inward wars once out of hand,
We would, dear lords, unto the Holy Land;

2 HENRY IV. iii. 1.

As far as to the sepulchre of Christ,
(Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross
We are impressed and engag'd to fight);
To chase these pagans, in those holy fields,
Over whose acres walk'd those blessed feet,
Which, fourteen hundred years ago, were nail'd
For our advantage, on the bitter cross.

1 HENRY IV. i. 1.

And my name

Be yok'd with his that did betray the Best !

Now, by the death of Him that died for all,

[blocks in formation]

Wherefore weeps

valiant son

?
