- Notes
- Lesson 28, "History of Asia," reflects on the Jews and their wickedness: "So long as the Jews continued obedient to the divine law, God prospered them and protected them against their enemies; but, when they became disobedient and wicked, He abandoned them, and they have been subject to reproach and derision for nearly eighteen hundred years. And it has always been the case, that wicked people soon become unhappy, while the virtuous and good usually live in peace and happiness" (p. 29). Frequently reissued. Bruntjen 6170.
