In one little time, as little as it is, may heaven be won and lost. A token it is that time is precious: for God, that is given of time, giveth never two times together, but each one after other. And this He doth, for He will not reverse the order or the ordinal course in the cause of His creation. For time is made for man, and not man for time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
