Sivu 32 - I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting ; in like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety, not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array, but (which becometh women professing godliness,) with good works.
Sivu 296 - Lakshmee be for ever to be found ! May princes, resting upon their particular duty, govern and protect the earth ! 'May the conduct of those who act , well afford pleasure to the mind ! By words alone no one is great. May he on whose diadem is a crescent,* cause prosperity to the people of the earth...

Sivu 172 - ... compelled to pay for any other. But in reality it includes the whole question at issue.

They say, likewise; When the frowns of fortune are excessive, and human endeavours are exerted in vain; where, but in the wilderness, can comfort be found for a poor man of sensibility.

Sivu 188 - Women 1" repeated Mr. Vapour, with a contemptuous fmile, " we (hall not then be troubled with — women. In the age of reafon, the world (hall contain only a race of men !! " Nothing could be more repugnant to the opinions of Mifs Ardent than this aflertion.
