…the Jews are still expecting Christ and long to see Him in
all anticipation and great zeal, while His light was manifested, His beauty
shone forth, His call was raised, His trumpet blown, His standard hoisted, and
His stars sparkled; but the Pharisees are yet in an amazing slumber, immersed
in former traditions, and they make play with the signs of Thy Lord, the
Merciful, the Clement.
