                  benevolent, and religious affections; bliss denotes
                  still more exalted delight, and is applied more
                  appropriately to the joy anticipated in heaven.

               him in a conquered state; but it has long since lost
               this independent significance, and is used with the
               participles both of transitive and intransitive verbs
               as a device for expressing past time. Had is used,
