More From George Herbert

First shalt thou take out the holy pin. then shalt thou count to three, no more-no less. three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. five is right out. once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy holy hand grenade of antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

O lord, thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as thou shalt please. give what thou wilt, how much thou wilt, and when thou wilt. deal with me as thou thinkest best. place me where thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as thou wilt. behold, i am thy servant, prepared for all things: i desire not to live unto myself, but unto thee; and oh, that i could do it worthily and perfectly!

Art Husband War
Beneficence is a duty. he who frequently practices it, and sees his benevolent intentions realized, at length comes really to love him to whom he has done good. when, therefore, it is said, "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," it is not meant, thou shalt love him first and do him good in consequence of that love, but, thou shalt do good to thy neighbor; and this thy beneficence will engender in thee that love to mankind which is the fulness and consummation of the inclination to do good.
Practice Done Charity
Does the commandment 'thou shalt not kill' mean nothing to us? are we to interpret it as meaning 'thou shalt not kill except on the grand scale,' or 'thou shalt not kill except when the national leaders say to do so'?
