Popular passages
Page 96 - And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation ; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you ; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Page 545 - In a prison, the awe of the public eye is lost, and the power of the law is spent ; there are few fears, there are no blushes.

Page 396 - The rites of hospitality being thus performed towards a stranger in distress; my worthy benefactress (pointing to the mat, and telling me I might sleep there without apprehension) called to the female part of her family...

Page 397 - The winds roared, and the rains fell. The poor white man, faint and weary, came and sat under our tree. He has no mother to bring him milk — no wife to grind his corn.
Page 352 - An account of the proceedings of the British and other Protestant inhabitants of the province of Quebeck, in North America, in order to obtain an House of Assembly in that province.
Page 538 - His plan is original ; and it is as full of genius as it is of humanity. It was a voyage of discovery ; a circumnavigation of charity.
