Sida 263 - Look round the habitable world, how few Know their own good, or knowing it pursue.
Sida 204 - ... him those manners which are familiar to us. But I defend not this innovation; it is enough if I can excuse it. For (to speak sincerely) the manners of nations and ages are not to be confounded; we should either make them English or leave them Roman.
