About: A Correspondence between Noctua Aurita, of the Desert, and Philomela, of the King’s Dale:
The correspondence between Noctua Aurita, of the Desert, and Philomela, of the King’s Dale, refers to a written exchange or series of letters between two individuals named Noctua Aurita and Philomela. Noctua Aurita is associated with the desert, while Philomela is linked to the King’s Dale. The content of the correspondence involve a spriritual discussion of their experiences, thoughts, and reflections on their respective lives. The mention of a “desert” and the “King’s Dale” is a further expression of the stand of their soul.
It contains premilary epistles and 42 letters.
The Breath of the Lord, and the Sieve of Vanity.:
“And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err,” Isaiah 30:28.
In this work or sermon I will endeavour to give you my thoughts in the following order:
- What I understand by the Lord’s” breath.”
- Why compared to a “stream.”
- The” neck” which this stream reaches to.
- The “sieve of vanity” used among the nations; and,
- The “bridle in the jaws of sinners, which shall make them to err.”

what evil shall be upon the earth. – Eccl. 11:.2.

THE EXPECTATION OF THE CREATURE, AND ITS CERTAIN DELIVERANCE
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope; because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God,” Rom. 8: 19-21.
