Page 11 - Heaven takes thee at thy word, without regard, And lets thee poorly be thy own reward. The world is made for the bold impious man, Who stops at nothing, seizes all he can.

Page 211 - Look round, how Providence bestows alike Sunshine and rain, to bless the fruitful year, On different nations, all of different faiths: And (though by several names and titles worBDJp'd) Heaven takes the various tribute of their praise ; Since all agree to own, at least to mean, One best, one greatest, only Lord of all.
Page 153 - Nor can I by any means approve of compelling young Ladies of Fortune to make so much Use of the Needle, as they did in former Days, and some few continue to...
