Borough Market has been covered with tributes to the victims of last week's terror attack, as police finally took away the last of the cordons protecting the crime scene. In a show of solidarity, the market has been inundated with flowers and post-it notes promising that London will not be cowed by terrorists. The notes, bearing messages such as 'London Bridge will never fall down' and 'Not afraid, love you London', lined a wall at the south end of London Bridge. Daily Mail
The necessity of visible Sacrifice, and the end, or cause why it was instituted, and used.
Two things, have always been much recommended by God, and highly esteemed by men of all sect, and sorts, who firmly believed that there was a God who extended his providence over mankind; first the honor of God, and peace with him; and secondly unity, peace and society amongst themselves. And these two, have always been, chiefly maintained amongst men, by a particular, visible Sacrifice, first offered unto Go upon an Altar, as a scared sign of the invisible Sacrifice of their hearts unto him; and after eaten, or communicated amongst themselves. By offering visible Sacrifice upon an Altar unto God, they solemnly protected the sacrifice of their hearts unto him, publicly adored him with the honor of Latria, or divine worship, which is due only unto him; and visibly made profession of peace, unity, and society with him, and amongst themselves: and by eating of the same Sacrifice, which had been offered unto God, they ratified and established the same peace, and unity, as partakers of that meat, with they had offered unto God for a sacred sign of common union, as generally manifest by experience, in all sects, and sorts of people, of former ages, who firmly believed, there was a God, and that his Providence was not wanting in the government of mankind. Anonymus Eremita 1637
