The Sacrifice of Life, by John Church 58600 [Subtitle: slain by the twenty-nine instruments of death] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/6/0/58600 ] [Files: 58600-0.txt; 58600-h.htm] For those wishing to know: a rather strange sermon from 1814 from John Church (1780-1833): he picks a phrase in the Old Testament about twenty-nine knifes, says he believes they stand for something, and then lists 29 things. He then has another go without another 29 items. When Church was imprisoned later he said he came up with a new sermon every day, and I think in this case, he was out of ideas. Mind you, a good title. All the best, David, Cold and overcast England
