Strana 1 - By this means our liberty becomes a noble freedom. It carries an imposing and majestic aspect. It has a pedigree and illustrating ancestors. It has its bearings, and its ensigns armorial. It has its gallery of portraits; its monumental inscriptions; its records, evidences, and titles.
Strana 9 - Shropshire, Nottinghamshire, Cheshire, and the other half of Hertfordshire. The Scottish that professed no subjection to the Church of Rome, were they that sent preachers for the conversion of these countries, and ordained bishops to govern them...
Strana 18 - The Holy Scriptures are the only rule of faith. Throw aside all merit of works, and look for salvation to the grace of God alone.

Strana 22 - ... you to seek for its remedy. Christ crucified, bearing the sins of his people in his own body on the tree, is God's remedy for sin. And believing in Christ is the application of the remedy. And believing in Christ, should you die the very next hour, your soul would go, cleansed by his atoning blood, to join the general assembly and church of the first-born in heaven.
Strana 9 - Rome, were they that sent preachers for the conversion of these countries, and ordained bishops to govern them, namely, Aidan, Finan and Colman, successively, for the kingdom of Northumberland ; for the East Saxons, Cedd, the brother of Ceadda, the Bishop of York, before mentioned ; for the Middle...
