Sida 450 - God after the inward man : but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. О wretched man that I am ! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Sida 449 - Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing : for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Sida 521 - ... after they had murdered their little infant. This wretched pair were in the month of April found hanging in their bedchamber, at about a yard's distance from each other ; and in a separate apartment the child lay dead in a cradle.
Sida 321 - Cosimo and the signiory, but from all the principal citizens, who vied with each, other in their generosity to him ; so that it was thought he had above twenty thousand ducats given him at that time; after 'which he became so popular, that the city was no longer governed by Cosimo di Medici, but by Luca Pitt. This inspired him with vanity. After this he had recourse to very extraordinary means...
Sida 588 - And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
