Baxendale's Anecdotes Luke 1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel. Charles the Fifth, after a life spent in military exploits and the active and energetic prosecution of ambitious projects, resigned, as is well known, his crown, sated with its enjoyment. He left these words, as a testimony, behind him: — "I have tasted more satisfaction in my solitude in one day than in all the triumphs of my former reign. The sincere study, profession, and practice of the Christian religion have in them such joy as is seldom found in courts and grandeur." (Baxendale's Anecdotes.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. |
