Sivu 24 - ... for five years together he was continually drunk : not all the while under the visible effect of it, but his blood was so inflamed, that he was not in all that time cool enough to be perfectly master of himself.
Sivu 117 - For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away ; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
Sivu 132 - I am now appearing to be judged. That, from the bottom of my soul, I detest and abhor the whole course of my former wicked life ; that I think I can never sufficiently admire the goodness of God, who has given me a true sense of my pernicious opinions and vile practices, by which I have hitherto lived without hope, and without God in the world ; have been an open enemy to Jesus Christ, doing the utmost despite to the Holy Spirit of grace.
Sivu 118 - I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Sivu 118 - When he slew them, then they sought him ; and they returned and inquired early after God, and they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Nevertheless, they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.

Sivu 95 - THUS he lived, and thus he died, in the three and thirtieth year of his age. Nature had fitted him for great things, and his knowledge and observation qualified him to have been one of the most extraordinary men, not only of his nation, but of the age he lived in : and I do verily believe, that if God had thought fit to have continued him longer in the world, he had been the wonder and delight of all that knew him.
Sivu 28 - Warre, his mother-in-law's house. The chaplain had dreamt that such a day he should die ; but being by all the family put out of the belief of it, he had almost forgot it: till the evening before at supper, there being thirteen at table, according to a fond conceit that one of these must soon die, one of the young ladies pointed to him, that he was to die.
