Sida 48 - I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous customs in the world, considering us as a civilized and a Christian country, that we deny the advantages of learning to women. We reproach the sex every day with folly and impertinence, while I am confident, had they the advantages of education equal to us, they would be guilty of less than ourselves.
Sida 48 - ... them capacities, for He made nothing needless.

They would all come to church, and one age would make us all one again.
Sida 146 - An Act declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject, and settling the Succession of the Crown.

Sida 51 - If her temper be good, want of education makes her soft and easy. Her wit, for want of teaching, makes her impertinent and talkative. Her knowledge, for want of judgment and experience, makes her fanciful and whimsical. If her temper be bad, want of breeding makes her worse, and she grows haughty, insolent, and loud.
Sida 441 - ... their poor dying mother to beg their bread at his door, and to crave, as if it were an alms, what he is bound, under hand and seal, and by the most sacred promises, to supply them with — himself at the same time living in a profusion of plenty. It is too much for me.
