Overview

Excerpt from Edward Wortley Montagu, Vol. 2 of 3: An Autobiography

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his ways? by taking heed thereto according to Thy word. With my whole heart hare I sought Thee; Then entered Satan into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve, and he went his way, and communed with the Chief Priests and Captains how he might betray Him unto them. And they were glad, and commanded to give him money; Behold as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work, rising betimes for a prey; the wilderness yieldeth food for them, and for their children... And as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel; O generation of vipers, how can ye being evil speak good things? - for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh; And we entered into the house of Philip the Evangelist; Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for, but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded... And David saith, Let their table be made a snare and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense unto them; The sword without and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin
