Prosperity is the Blessing of the Old Testament; Adversity is the Blessing of the New. — Francis Bacon · 1625Jesus was sitting in Moses’ chair,
They brought the trembling woman there.

What was the sound of Jesus’ breath?
He laid His hand on Moses’ law:
The ancient Heavens, in silent awe,
Writ with curses from pole to pole,
All away began to roll. — William Blake · 1818Christianity1 quote
