الصفحة 469 - I happened soon after to attend one of his sermons, in the course of which I perceived he intended to finish with a collection, and I silently resolved he should get nothing from me. I had in my pocket a handful of copper money, three or four silver dollars, and five pistoles in gold. As he proceeded I began to soften, and concluded to give the coppers.
الصفحة 458 - It is come, I know not how, to be taken for granted by many persons, that Christianity is not so much as a subject of inquiry, but that it is now at length discovered to be fictitious. And accordingly they treat it as if, in the present age, this were an agreed point among all people of discernment...

Therefore, my Lords, I own I tremble when I " think that a certain Divine, who is hardly suspected " of being a Christian, is in a fair way of being a Bishop, " and may one day give licences to those who shall be "intrusted with the education of youth!"* All parties looked with great interest to the conduct of the Lord Treasurer on this occasion.
