 liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison shall we compare it?_ "_It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all seeds that be in the earth;_ "_But when it is sown, it groweth up and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it._"[s] [Sidenote: Islam the work of man; Christianity the work of God.] Which is _nature_, and which is _art_, let the reader judge. Which bears the impress of man's hand, and which that of Him who "is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working?" In fine, of the Arabian it may be said: "_Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed._" But of Christ: "_His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed._ "_He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. GETH FORTH FRUIT OF HERSELF FIRST THE BLADE THEN THE EAR AFTER THAT THE FULL GOWN IN THE EAR AND AGAIN WHEREUNTO SHALL WE LIKEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD OR WITH WHAT COMPASSION SHALL WE COMPARE IT IT IS LIKE A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED WHICH WHEN IT IS SOWN IN THE EARTH IS LESS THAN ALL SEEDS THAT BE IN THE EARTH BUT WHEN IT IS SOWN IT GROWETH UP AND BECOMETH GREATER THAN ALL HERBS AND SHOOT OUR GREAT BRANCHES SO THAT THE FALLS OF THE AIR MAY LODGE UNDER THE SHADOW OF IT WHICH IS NATURE AND WHICH IS ART LET THE READER JUDGE WHICH BEARS THE IMPRESS OF MAN'S HAND AND WHICH THAT OF HIM WHO IS WONDERFUL IN COUNSEL AND EXCELLENT IN WORKING IN FINE OF THE ARABIAN IT MAY BE SAID HITHERTO SHALT THOU COME BUT NO FURTHER AND HERE SHALL THY PROUD WAVES BE STAYED BUT OF CHRIST HIS NAME SHALL END YOU FOR EVER HIS NAME SHALL BE CONTINUED AS LONG AS THE SUN AND MEN SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM ALL NATIONS SHALL CALL HIM BLEST HE SHALL HAVE DOMINION ALSO FROM SEA TO SEA AND FROM THE RIVER ON TO THE EDGE OF THE EARTH
