Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Let not such men as Doeg think to reign long, for his doom will be theirs, Ps. ii. A lying tongue is but for a moment, but the lip of truth shall be established for ever. [2.] Evil doers must expect to be destroyed: Evil shall hunt the violent man, as the blood-hound hunts the murderer to discover him, as the lion hunts his prey to tear it to pieces.
