Sida 3 - Love thyself last: cherish those hearts that hate thee; Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not.

Sida 164 - Scream no more, at the peril of your soul. God now warns you by me, whom He has set over you. Speak as earnestly as you can, but do not scream. Speak •with all your heart, but with a moderate voice. It was said of onr Lord, ' He shall not cry ' ; the word properly means, He shall not scream.
Sida 55 - My lord, your father would have gone further :" to which the duke answered, " Your majesty's father was the better man, and he would not have gone so far.
Sida 12 - at the Mount of St Mary's, in the stony stage where I now stand, I have brought you some fine biscuits, baked in the oven of charity, carefully conserved for the chickens of the church, the sparrows of the spirit, and the sweet swallows of salvation.
Sida 11 - If the apostles might not leave the office of preaching to the deacons, shall one leave it for minting ?
