Sida v - I have chofen ? to loofe the bands of wickednefs, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the opprefTed go free, and " that ye break every yoke ?

Sida 203 - We not only do what we approve, but there is danger lest in time we come to approve what we do, though for no other reason but that we do it.

Sida 59 - The encroachments of foreign enemies they could not always avoid, but would certainly repulse, for scarce any civilized nation has been ever enslaved till it was first corrupted. With regard to private men, not only that happiness which necessarily descends to...
Sida 212 - ... the object prepared to gratify it, in any respect. Suppose a material alteration, or considerable difference in nature, and we shall easily perceive, it would be a manifold disadvantage, either to individuals, or to the whole. Suppose the earth otherwise than it is, or the atmosphere and surrounding air to be varied, and in any degree more rarefied or more condensed ; suppose the element of water greatly increased, or considerably diminished; or the sun's blazing orb fixed nearer, and its vertical...
Sida 107 - ... and retreat ; so among these felicities, it is not uncommon to design a reformation of life, and a course of piety. Among the more enlightened and judicious part of mankind, there are many who live in a continual disapprobation of their own conduct, who know, that they do every day what they ought to leave undone. and every day leave undone what they ought to do ; and who therefore consider themselves as living under the divine displeasure, in a state in which it would be very dangerous to die....
