Sivu 73 - I have found, by a strict and diligent observation, that a due observation of the duty of this day hath ever had joined to it a blessing upon the rest of my time, and the week that hath been so begun hath been blessed and prosperous to me; and, on the other side, when I have been negligent of the duties of this day, the rest of the week...
Sivu 31 - The grandees of the time, tost to and fro By censures or applause ; but let my age Slide gently by ; not overthwart the stage Of public action, unheard, unseen, And unconcern'd, as if I ne'er had been.

Sivu 21 - Our ordinary calling, to serve God in it. It is a service to Christ, though never so mean.
Sivu 28 - And, as it is an act of obedience unto his will, it carries with it some things of religious duty ; and I may, and do, take comfort in it, and expect a reward of my obedience to him, and the good that I do to mankind therein, from the bounty, and beneficence, and promise, of Almighty God. And it is true, also, that, without such employments, civil societies cannot be supported, and great good redounds to mankind from them ; and, in these respects, the conscience of my own industry, fidelity, and...
Sivu 51 - When you are in company with light, vain, impertinent persons, let the observing of their failings make you the more cautious both in your conversation with them and in your general behaviour, that you may avoid their errors. If any one whom you do not know to be a person of truth...
Sivu 24 - That I suffer not myself to be prepossessed with any judgment at all, till the whole business and both parties be heard.
