English term or phrase: mindling

The blood of God outpoured upon the tree!
So reads the Book. mind, receive the thought,
29 Acts xx. 28, " Feed the church of God which He hath purchased with His own blood." The reading "God" is, as F. J. A. Hort says, "assuredly genuine," and the emphasis upon the blood being His own is very strong. There is no justi- fication for correcting the text conjecturally, as Hort does, to avoid this. If the reading " Lord " were genuine, the meaning would be precisely the same: " Lord " is not a lower title than "God." in such connections. I Cor. ii. 8, "They would not have crucified the Lord of Glory," is an exact parallel.
Nor helpless murmur thou hast vainly sought
Thought-room within thee for such mystery.
Thou foolish mindling! Do'st thou hope to see
Undazed, untottering, all that God hath wrought?
Before His mighty "shall," thy little "ought"
Be shamed to silence and humility!
Come mindling, I will show thee what 'twere meet
That thou shouldst shrink from marvelling, and flee
As unbelievable, — nay, wonderingly,
With dazed, but still with faithful praises, greet :
Draw near and listen to this sweetest sweet, —
Thy God, O mindling, shed His blood for thee!
