Էջ 27 - When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me; because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me : and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Էջ 20 - For the Lord will not cast off for ever : but though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. For He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
Էջ 277 - We have left it flourishing in the middle of the field, having rooted up or cut down all that kept it from the eyes and admiration of the world : but after some continuance, it shall begin to lose the beauty it had ; the storms of ambition shall beat her great bougha and branches one against another, her leaves shall fall off", her limbs wither, and a rabble of barbarous nations enter the field, and cut her down.
Էջ 312 - The work he did we ought t' admire, And were unjust if we should more require From his few years, divided 'twixt th' excess Of low affliction, and high happiness. For who on things remote can fix his sight...

Էջ 50 - ... measure. Some years after, it was my fortune to converse with many of the principal actors against that minister, and with those who principally excited that clamour. None of them, no not one, did in the least defend the measure, or attempt to justify their conduct. They condemned it as freely as they would have done in commenting upon any proceeding in history in which they were totally unconcerned.
Էջ 311 - Of the blest promised land, And from the mountain's top of his exalted wit, Saw it himself, and shew'd us it. But life did never to one man allow Time to discover worlds, and conquer too; Nor can so short a line sufficient be To fathom the vast depths of nature's sea: The work he did we ought t...
Էջ 152 - Elizabeth by the Grace of God Queen of England France and Ireland Defender of the Faith &c.
Էջ 244 - Patience and gravity of hearing is an essential part of justice; and an overspeaking judge is no well-tuned cymbal. It is no grace to a judge first to find that which he might have heard in due time from the bar; or to show quickness of conceit in cutting off evidence or counsel too short, or to prevent information by questions, though pertinent.
