Popular passages
Page 307 - Unless he feel within Some source of consolation from above. Secret refreshings that repair his strength And fainting spirits uphold.

Page 192 - ... very men, in their secret conventicles, did covenant and swear to each other to be assiduous and faithful in using their best endeavours to set up the presbyterian doctrine and discipline ; and both in such a manner as they themselves had not yet agreed on, but up that government must. To which end, there were many that wandered up and down, and were active in sowing discontents and sedition by venomous and secret murmurings...
