Please don't reveal why I aver this memo has unique looks.
Rather do make your best original theme and post in reply.

Famous Will Shakespeare did secure it:
* So true a fool is love, that in your will, ...
Or in Poem LXII:
* As I all other in all worths exceed ...

A Supreme Book can do it:
From Ecclesiasticus book LXIII verse XXXII see:
* Glorify the Lord as much as ever you can,
* for he will yet far exceed.
Or in Gospel by John:
* My sheep do hear my voice.
* And I know them: *and they follow me.

Can you write a sentence (or seven) which keeps faith
under my new paradigm?

Richard gave a hint for #2, so I'd better give a
hint for "Four old puzzles #1".
I won't bother to rot13 the hint.

The entire message (that is, the lines
beginning " " above) is a sequence of
words that satisfies a constraint. *(*Each* contiguous
subsequence of words in the message satisfies the same
constraint.) *The *meanings* of the message and
the individual words are *irrelevant.* *My full name
"James Dow Allen" satisfies the constraint, but
"Richard Heathfield" does not, nor does "James Allen".

This "hint" may tell you little new, but I hope it's
enough. *This type of puzzle was very popular in this ng
a few years ago. *Despite that no one's solved it yet,
I still believe that this one is of, at most, average
difficulty compared with those posted a few years ago.

PS: I hope my use of middle name doesn't make me
seem like a pretentious "preppy"! *It's a habit I
started with the World-wide-web since "James Allen"
is a *very* common name.- Hide quoted text -

Given your "hint", a puzzle which seemed too hard is now much easier
to unravel. I am writing a short piece to claim to have found a
solution. Am I correct?
