like to a man, building a house, who digged, and sunk deep, and laid
the foundation on a rock; and when there was a flood, the river rushed
violently against that house, and was not of force to shake it, for it
was founded on a rock. (49)But he that heareth, and doth not practice,

who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready
