| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Augsburg Confession by Philip Melanchthon: and drink. Col. 2, 16: Let no man, therefore, judge you in
meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy-day, or of the
Sabbath-day; also: If ye be dead with Christ from the
rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world,

least three centuries earlier, but it is impossible to collect

this high land wasn't never meant to grow no-
thing on, and everybody who ain't fixed to graze
