I am not only deprived of a kind and loving consort, but you also are bereaved of the most indulgent mother that ever dear children had.

Seite 82 - Lady Sunderland and her relations. Dear Sir, let your dying chaplain recommend this truth to you and your family, that no happiness or solid comfort can be found in this vale of tears like living a pious life ; and pray ever remember this rule, never do anything upon which you dare not first ask the blessing of God.
