الصفحة 131 - But it is to be feared that parents in some cases, through a mistaken notion of the true method of giving youth a religious turn, often run into the extreme of surfeiting them with religious exercises, instead of labouring chiefly to enlighten and convince their understandings, and to form their tempers to obedience. The former, though noble and valuable helps appointed by Divine Wisdom for promoting virtue and goodness, may yet be so managed as to disgust a young mind and prejudice it against religion...
الصفحة 178 - These are thy glorious works, Parent of good, Almighty ; Thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair ; Thyself how wondrous then ! Unspeakable, who sit'st above these Heavens, To us invisible, or dimly seen In these thy lowest works ; yet these declare Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine.

الصفحة 148 - ... that he will seldom be widely out, or miss giving proof of a clear head, and a comprehensive knowledge. At least, this is the only way I know, to give the understanding its due improvement to the full extent of its capacity...
الصفحة 428 - God is the God of the Gentiles, as well as of the Jews; and has concluded them all in unbelief, only that he might have mercy upon all.
الصفحة 15 - As nothing is more provoking to some tempers than raillery, a prudent person will not always be satirically witty where he can, but only where he may without offence. For he will consider that the finest stroke of raillery is but a witticism; and that there is hardly any person so mean, whose good will is not preferable to the pleasure of a horse-laugh . — Burgh . Raillery is a mode of speaking in favor of one's wit against one's good nature.
