® knows that his prayers would not be an
swered, and so he sends his wife on the deli-

the Lord in Shiloh. Putting aside her royal
attire, she puts on the garb of a peasant wo=

The fact is that Peter the Great w rking

no right to practice an Impositicn, Broken

that some of them were hobbling on

their lamentations, and Hesaid: “I will just
