Seite 21 - You will probably be desired to intercede for the favours of the pope on particular occasions.

This you must observe, lest you should give him...
Seite 262 - ... the ftubborn induftry of free men, who labour with alacrity, becaufe they reap with fecurity. We panted at the thoughts of taking a nearer furvey of this political wonder, and were impatient to leave Rimini ; but the country adjacent to that city was .deluged with rain; the rivers continued to overflow; horfes could not fafely clamber over rocks; and Rimini could not furnifh us with mules.
Seite 51 - Julio the second only excepted ; and in him he represented the reigning passion rather than the man. In painting he contented himself with a negative colour, and, as the painter of mankind, rejected all meretricious ornament. The fabric of St Peter, scattered into infinity of jarring parts by Bramante and his successors, he concentrated ; suspended the cupola, and, to the most complex, gave the air of the most simple of edifices.
Seite 50 - His line is uniformly grand. Character and beauty were admitted only as far as they could be made subservient to grandeur.
Seite 352 - England advanced along the causeway (which I mentioned before) very nobly attended, with the air and presence of a king: there were in his train his brother the Duke of Clarence, the Earl of Northumberland, his chamberlain...
Seite 81 - he is much perplexed at the number of heads that are before him. When I stand in the pulpit, I see no heads, but imagine those that are before me to be all blocks. When I preach I sink myself deeply down, I regard neither doctors nor masters, of which there are in the church above forty. But I have an eye to the multitude of young people, children, and servants, of which there are more than two thousand.
Seite 63 - Leo was a vain, voluptuous, and debauched man, who had no religion, and no compassion for those, who could not submit entirely to his pleasure > as he shewed by the haughty manner in which he treated Luther, without admitting the least relaxation in any of the disputed points. Charles V. was only twenty years of age, at this time, and made a conscience of nothing to accomplish any of his projects. He said so himself ; and we may take his word for it. This emperor, discoursing of past events with...
Seite 290 - ... might ill accord with the foftened tenants of the Capuan plains ; fince, according to the fame penetrating fearcher into the fecrets of human nature, * the inhabitants of the Fortunate Iflands, if fuch iflands really exift, muft either be the moft virtuous or the moft wretchecf\jf men.
Seite 129 - He then turned to the people, and stretching out his hands, cried with a very loud voice, " Good Christian people ! for God's love be well aware of these men ; else they will beguile you, and lead you blindfold into hell with themselves.
Seite 20 - This idea is often injurious to the life and character of those who entertain it. Be attentive, therefore, to your conduct, and confide in others too little rather than too much. There is one rule which I would recommend to your attention in preference to all others: Rise early in the morning. This will not only contribute to your health, but will enable you to arrange and expedite the business of the day; and as there are various duties incident to your station, such as the performance of divine...
