Страница 24 - ... this world, this vexatious, troublesome world, in which I have no other business, but to rid my soul from sin, secure by faith and a good conscience my eternal interests, with patience and courage bear my eminent misfortunes, and ever hereafter be above the smiles and frowns of it. And when I have done the remnant of the work appointed me on earth, then joyfully wait for the heavenly perfection in God's good time, when by his infinite mercy I may be accounted worthy to enter into the same place...
Страница 91 - I can say, unless thy law had been my delight, I should have perished in my trouble. The rising from the dead is a glorious contemplation, doctor ! nothing raises a drooping spirit like it...
Страница 35 - I know not how to live by faith ; yet the pleasant stream that fed it near fourteen years together, being gone, I have no sort of refreshment, but when I can repair to that living fountain, from whence all flows : while I look not at the things which are seen, but at those which are not seen...

Страница 23 - I know I have deserved my punishment, and will be silent 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. I want him to talk with, to walk with, to eat and sleep with; all these things are irksome to me now; the day unwelcome, and the night so, too; all company and meals I would avoid if it might be...
Страница 23 - 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. Who can but shrink at such a blow, till by the mighty aids of his Holy Spirit, we will let the gift of God, which he hath put into our hearts, interpose? That reason which sets a measure to our souls in prosperity, will then suggest...
Страница 82 - When will longed-for eternity come!" but our duty is to possess our souls with patience. I am unwilling to shake off all hopes about the brief, though I know them that went to the chancellor since the refusal to seal it, and 182 his answer does not encourage one's hopes.
Страница 36 - I have lived in sweet and full content ; considered the condition of others, and thought none deserved my envy : but I must pass no more such days on earth ; however, places are indeed nothing.
