Sivu 49 - Jerusalem with iniquity: the heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, "Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.
Sivu 49 - St. George in box : his arm scarce long enough, but will be in a condition to stick the dragon by next April. A green dragon of the same, with a tail of ground-ivy for the present.
Sivu 58 - ... tis an easy matter to pick up sticks Enough from any thicket where it has strayed, to make a fire to offer it up with.
Sivu 48 - To reform and not to chastise I am afraid is impossible, and that the best precepts, as well as the best laws, would prove of small use if there were no examples to enforce them. To attack vices in the abstract, without touching persons, may be safe fighting indeed, but it is fighting with shadows.
Sivu 204 - Hear my prayer, O LORD, and with thine ears consider my calling ; hold not thy peace at my tears. 14 For I am a stranger with thee : and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
Sivu 207 - WILT thou have this Man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony?
Sivu 207 - Wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance, in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as you both shall live?
Sivu 118 - ... it is narrowminded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags. It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.
Sivu 48 - To attack Vices in the abstract, without touching Persons, may be safe fighting indeed, but it is fighting with shadows. General propositions are obscure, misty, and uncertain, compared with plain, full, and home Examples: Precepts only apply to our Reason, which in most men is but weak : Examples are pictures, and strike the Senses, nay raise the Passions, and call in those (the strongest and most general of all motives) to the aid of reformation.
Sivu 131 - Not to covet nor desire other men's goods ; but to learn and labour truly to get mine own living, and to do my duty in that state of life, unto which it shall please God to call me.
