Sivu v - The minister there, in the public worship, does not shift places out of the desk into the pulpit, as in England, but at his first coming in, ascends the pulpit. They commonly begin their worship with a psalm before the minister comes in, who, after the psalm is finished, prayeth, and then reads, and expounds in some places, in some not ; then another psalm is sung, and after that their minister prays again, and preacheth as in England.
Sivu xliv - Those graves, with bending osier bound, That nameless heave the crumbled ground, Quick to the glancing thought disclose, Where toil and poverty repose. The flat smooth stones that bear a name, The chisel's slender help to fame, (Which ere our set of friends decay Their frequent steps may wear away,) A middle race of mortals own, Men, half ambitious, all unknown. The marble tombs that rise on high, Whose dead in vaulted arches lie, Whose pillars swell with sculptur'd stones, Arms, angels, epitaphs,...
Sivu v - First, the precentor, about half-an-hour before the preacher comes, reads two or three chapters to the congregation, of what part of scripture he pleases, or as the minister gives him directions. As soon as the preacher gets into the pulpit, the precentor leaves reading, and sets a psalm, singing with the people till the minister, by some sign, orders him to give over. The psalm over, the preacher begins, confessing sins and begging pardon, exalting the holiness and majesty of God, and setting before...
Sivu lv - They heard his ideas and plans, communicated their own remarks, and became interested in the success of the whole. All this kindly communication is cut off by the introduction of this delegated authority to the grieve, which of course removes the person, the views, the interest of the master, so much farther out of the sphere of the labourers
Sivu v - Then he goes to sermon, delivered always by heart, and therefore sometimes spoiled by battologies, little impertinences, and incoherence in their discourses. The sermon finished, he returns to prayer ; thanks God for that opportunity to deliver his word; prays for all mankind, for all Christians, for that particular nation, for the sovereign and royal family (without naming any), for subordinate magistrates, for sick people (especially such whose names the precentor hands up to him), then concludes...

Sivu 138 - Baylies house I took leave, and Master James Acmootye coming for England, said, that if I would ride with, that neither I nor my horse should want betwixt that place and London. Now I having no money nor means for travel, began at once to examine my manners and my want : at last my want persuaded my manners to accept of this worthy gentleman's undeserved courtesy. So that night he brought me to a place called Cockburnspath, where we lodged at an inn, the like of which I dare say...
Sivu xxix - Yet, in spite of his great preparations and formidable efforts, James was compelled to raise the siege; and he afterwards obtained possession of it only by Angus fleeing to England, and by a compromise being made with Simon Panango, the governor. After...
Sivu lvi - Diligencfc is here no virtue ; there is really no room for fidelity and the pride of an honest mind; and it is impossible for them to acquire the approbation and esteem of their superiors, so flattering to, and congenial with, the best feelings of the heart. The people see that there is no bargain for these moral qualities with them, more than with the horses or the threshing machine.
Sivu xxix - it was better to hear the lark sing than the mouse cheep," was adopted by every Border chief. For these combined reasons the residence of the chieftain was commonly a...
