He was many times in trouble; but by Dr. Napper's interest with the Earl of Bolingbroke, Lord Wentworth, after Earl of Cleveland, he still continued his practice, the said Earl not permitting any Justice of Peace to vex him. keywords: army; astrology; book; cause; charles; committee; day; days; death; england; ere; father; footnote; friend; general; god; good; great; hodges; house; john; judgment; king; life; lilly; london; lord; majesty; man; master; night; parliament; people; person; pounds; saith; second; set; shall; sir; time; town; viz; wife; william; woman; year cache: 15835.txt plain text: 15835.txt item: #2 of 4 id: 35998 author: Coffman, C.

Good planets, such as Jupiter and Venus, placed between the luminaries in both nativities, show much happiness. keywords: birth; colour; death; degrees; eyes; face; good; hair; hand; head; heart; house; influence; jupiter; life; line; love; man; mars; mercury; mole; moon; mount; native; nature; person; planets; saturn; shows; sign; sun; venus; woman cache: 42889.txt plain text: 42889.txt item: #4 of 4 id: 8855 author: Hill, J. H. title: Astral Worship date: None words: 23895 flesch: 37 summary: In proof of the eclectic character of the Gospel and Epistles of ancient Christianity, we refer to the Asceticism inculcated therein, which, derived from the Oriental Gnosticism, we find perpetuated in the scriptures of modern Christianity; we also refer to the miracle of converting water into wine, taken from the Gospel story of Bacchus, and to the statements that the Saviour was the son of a carpenter and was hung between two thieves, copied from the story of Christna, the Eighth, Avatar of the East Indian astrolatry. In verification of this assertion we must find the initial point of our inquiry in ancient history, which teaches that in the division of the Grecian Empire among his generals, after the death of Alexander the Great, who died 332 years before the beginning of our era, the governorship of Egypt and adjacent provinces was secured by Ptolemy Lagus, or Soter, who, having subsequently suppressed a revolt in Judea, removed from that country a large body of its inhabitants to people the new city of Alexandria, which had been laid out by order of and named after the great Conqueror. keywords: ancient; christian; christianity; church; day; days; earth; equinox; form; god; heaven; history; life; lord; man; new; reference; religion; saviour; scriptures; sign; sol; sun; system; time; worship; year cache: 8855.txt plain text: 8855.txt
