Страница 371 - I can never forget the inexpressible luxury and profaneness, gaming, and all dissoluteness, and as it were total forgetfulness of God, (it being Sunday evening,) which this day se'nnight I was witness of, the King sitting and toying with his concubines, Portsmouth, Cleveland...
Страница 305 - Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands ; and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet...
Страница 44 - You that knew us both, and how we lived, must allow I have just cause to bewail my loss. I know it is common with others to lose a friend ; but to have lived with such a one, it may be questioned how few can glory in the like happiness, so consequently lament the like loss.
Страница 44 - ... under it; but yet secretly my heart mourns, too sadly I fear, and cannot be comforted, because I have not the dear companion and sharer of all my joys and sorrows.

This alarms me, and I do earnestly beg of you to tell me truly if you have or mean to do it. If you do, I am most assured you will repent it. I beg once more to know the truth. It is more pain to be in doubt, and to your sister too ; and if I have any interest, I use it to beg your silence in this case, at least to-day.
Страница 62 - I take this late wild attempt* to be a new project, not depending on, or being linked in the least to any former design, if there was then any real one, which I am satisfied was not no more than (my own Lord confessed) talk. And it is possible that talk going so far as to consider, if a remedy to supposed evils might be sought, how it could be found...
Страница 358 - With chariots, horsemen, and a numerous train : From east to west his glories he displays, And, like the Sun, the promis'd land surveys. Fame runs before him as the morning star, And shouts of joy salute him from afar: Each house receives him as a guardian god, And consecrates the place of his abode. But hospitable treats did most commend Wise Issachar, his wealthy western friend.
Страница 19 - It was thus, surely, that intellectual beings of different sexes were intended by their great Creator to go through the world together ; — thus united, not only in hand and heart, but in principles, in intellect, in views, and in dispositions ; — each pursuing one common and noble end, their own improvement, and the happiness of those around them, by the different means appropriate to their...
