“In pious times, ere priest-craft did begin, Before polygamy was made a sin; When man, on many, multipli'd his kind, Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd: When Nature prompted, and no Law deni'd Promiscuous use of concubine and bride; Then, Israel's monarch, after Heaven's own heart, His vigorous warmth did variously impart To wives and slaves: and, wide as his command, Scatter'd his Maker's image through the land.” MenHeartKindMadeUseLawHeavenSinWifeLandSlaveIsraelWideCommandCraftsPriestsMakersWarmthBridesVigorousPiousImpartMonarchsPolygamyPromiscuousConcubines Author:John Dryden

“Their property held them in chains...chains which shackled their courage and choked their faith and hampered their judgment and throttled their soul...If they stored up their treasure in heaven, they would not now have an enemy and a thief within their own household...They think of themselves as owners, whereas it is they rather who are owned: enslaved as they are to their own property, they are not the masters of their money but its slaves.” IfsThinkingSoulHeavenEnemyMastersJudgmentPropertySlaveTreasureChainsOwnersThievesHouseholdConsumerismOverconsumptionTreasures In Heaven Author:Cyprian
