Strana 148 - Heaven from all creatures hides the book of Fate, All but the page prescribed, their present state: From brutes what men, from men what spirits know: Or who could suffer being here below? The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleased to the last, he crops the flowery food, And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood.
Strana 303 - Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Strana 455 - Rappee said, he knew no reason why a man could not say his prayers as well in private as in public, in a walk upon the terrace as well as in a closet ; that religion was a mere personal affair, and the like.

Strana 490 - ... out upon them with such fury, that they were all glad to make their escape out of the house ; the principal part of which sumptuous pile was, in a few hours, burnt to the ground ; and no other remains of Sir W.
Strana 337 - ... would not take three shillings and sixpence in lieu of tithes, for a large orchard, as my predecessor had done. In short, sir, here are two or three dissenters in the parish, who give out that all tithes are remnants of popery, and would have the clergy consider meat and drink as types and shadows, which ought to have been abolished with the Levitical law.
Strana 2 - ... patience, from stage to stage; though, perhaps, we meet with nothing more material, than the distance of one place from another; the provisions the traveller finds at his inn; the number of aldermen that govern, or the number of bells that entertain a borough town; or the like diverting particulars. The reader will likewise meet with several trifling incidents from real life, which, however, the author flatters himself, are so far disguised by an alteration of the circumstances of place and time,...
Strana 27 - ... books, instead of drinking, which at that time was too much in vogue among the young people of the University. The Sunday evenings they appropriated to religious authors, which soon convinced 'them of the great neglect of practical religion in that place, as well as in other parts of the kingdom. In consequence of these convictions, they formed themselves into a...
Strana 560 - Greville, who knew the man to have been a son of the learned Dr. Welchman,* well known for his Illustration of the Thirty-nine Articles : which piece of history, as he had not much literary merit of his own to boast of, mine host never failed to acquaint his customers with. Gentlemen...
