A sermon repeated after this manner, is like the composition of a poet in the mouth of a graceful actor.
Strana 210 - I know his value, have settled upon him a good annuity for life. If he outlives me, he shall find that he was higher in my esteem than perhaps he thinks he is. He has now been with me thirty years; and, though he does...
