Sivu 215 - Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
Sivu 216 - Lord sufficiently natural; it would be as easy to force a camel through a door-way, as small as the eye of a needle, as for a rich man to enter into the kingdom oj God.

He thinks not of the vile emoluments of mercenary ftate-offices ; he does not, like the giants, rearing mount Pelion upon Ofla, and Olympus on Pelion, heap* employment on employment, penfion upon penfion, reverfion upon reverfion, and fine-cure upon fine-cure, in order to clamber up the dunghill-height, to which fordid ambition, or more fordid avarice,...

Sivu 54 - The true patiiot is that to his country, which a wife and kind father is to his own dear children. Will a wife and kind father confult his own advantage preferably to that of his children ? Will he make his gain of their lofs r Will he ftrip them to enrich himfelf?
