Sida 29 - Here passes current ; paid from hand to hand, It shifts in splendid traffic round the land ; From courts to camps, to cottages it strays, And all are taught an avarice of praise ; They please, are pleased, they give to get esteem, Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem.
Sida 114 - Christ, the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever, — with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning, is the sun of his system ; and round this centre every doctrine issuing from his lips, every grace beaming in his soul, moved harmoniously.
