Wow, that's a lot of words in one sentence. They all sound so old-fashioned, so I'm not surprised they were written by John Calvin in the 1500's. Thanks for participating!
Sounds KJV. :-) Glad you're learning new words all the time.
Gosh that sentence is mouth full! I can just imagine them being said!
