Seite vii - ... from superfluity of maliciousness. Thy creatures have been my books, but thy scriptures much more. I have sought thee in the courts, fields, and gardens, but I have found thee in thy temples.

Seite 38 - He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Seite iv - I was infinitely pleased to find, among the works of this extraordinary man, a prayer of his own composing, which, for the elevation of thought, and greatness of expression, seems rather the devotion of an angel than a man. His principal fault seems to have been the excess of that virtue which covers a multitude of faults. This betrayed him...
Seite vi - Lord, how thy servant hath walked before thee : remember what I have first sought, and what hath been principal in my intentions. I have loved thy assemblies : I have mourned for the divisions of thy church : I have delighted in the brightness of thy sanctuary.
Seite 268 - So that we are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do and not what they ought to do.
