God to be worshipped, not as he is, the Father of our Lord Jesus, (an afflicted Prince, the King of sufferings,) noras the God of peace, (which two appellatives God newly took upon him in the New Testament, and glories in for ever,) but he is owned now rather as The Lord of hosts, which title he was pleased to lay aside, when the kingdom of the gospel was preached by the Prince of peace. But when religion puts on ar mour, and God is not acknowledged by his New Testament titles, religion may have in it the power of the sword, but not the power of godliness; and we may complain of this to God, and amongst them that are afflicted, but we have no remedy but what we must expect from the fellowship of Christ ssufferings, and the returns of the God of peace. In the mean time, and now that religion pretends to stranger actions upon new principles; and men are apt to prefer a prosperous error before an afflicted truth ;and some will think they are religious enough if their worshippings have in them the prevailing ingredient; and the ministers of religion are so scattered that they cannot unite to stop the inundation, and from chairs or pulpits, from their synods or tribunals, chastise the iniquity of the error, and the ambition of evil guides, and the infidelity of the willingly seduced multitude ;and that those few good people who have no other plot in their religion but to.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Excerpt from The Sagacity Morality of PlantsThe life of a plant, like that of an animal, is a series of constant adjustments between internal strue ture and organisation and external surroundings. The latter are of such an almost infinitely variable and varying character that we cannot wonder the adjustments, or in other words the fiabz'tr, of plants are so infinitely numerous - especially when we remember the long geological periods of time during which the constant adaptations and modifications have been taking place.We sometimes hear people Speak of the instinct of plants: But how can instincts arise unless there be some kind of consciousness? For instinct is now generally regarded as the experience of the moo, as distinguished from that of the individual. The registration of experience may be in itself an in telligent rather than an automatic act. To Speak of the tendencies on the part of plants to assume a certain habit is merely to coin a word to disguise our ignorance of the process. A tendency for a plant to behave in a certain manner is merely a habit based upon the past experience of its ancestors as to what has proved best for them as a Species.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Mohawk artist and author C. J. Taylor has drawn from First Nations legends from across North America to present a fascinating collection of stories inspired by the night skies.The legends — Salish, Onondaga, Blackfoot, Netsilik (Inuit), Wasco, Ojibwa, and Cherokee — are by turns funny, beautiful, tragic, and frightening, but each one is infused with a sense of awe.From the Ojibwa legend of the great hunter, White Hawk, and his love for an unattainable maiden, or the Salish legend of a magical lake that is threatened when human beings turn greedy and lose their respect for its gifts and for the sun’s power, to the delightful Cherokee legend of Grandmother Spider who brought light to the world, this is an important collection that is enhanced by Taylor’s glorious paintings.
