The world is Thine, Thou canst do with it as seemeth good in Thine eyes. But the man Thou art now creating will be few of days and full of trouble and sin. If it be not Thy purpose to have forbearance and patience with him, it were better not to call him into being."" God replied, ""Is it for naught I am called long-suffering and merciful?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
