MESSAGE.

I have a message from God unto thee.—Judges, iii. 20.

The priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of Hosts.—Malachi, ii. 7.

Behold I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me.—Malachi, iii. 1.

This is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.—I. John, iii. 11.

Thy message, which might else in telling wound,

And in performing end us.

Milton.
