There is not one Moral Virtue that Jesus Inculcated but Plato & Cicero did Inculcate before him; what then did Christ Inculcate? Forgiveness of Sins!

If he had been Antichrist Creeping Jesus,
He'd have done anything to please us:
Gone sneaking into Synagogues
And not us'd the Elders & Priests like Dogs,
But humble as a Lamb or Ass,
Obey'd himself to Caiaphas.
God wants not Man to Humble himself

God appears and god is light
To those poor souls who dwell in night
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day

it's hard to read directly off of because the images are often so small. i recommend buying the norton blake and then using the blakearchive. if you're getting it from the library it's worth it though. also might be worth it just because it's still a badass book just not really to read directly off of

it has the texts in the back though if you are ok with flipping back and forth
