Էջ 90 - And the Almighty Wisdom having given Each man within himself an apter light To guide his acts than any light without him, (Creating nothing, not in all things equal,) It seems a fault in any that depend On others' knowledge, and exile their own.
Էջ 277 - And lost it in the ashes of the world, We prophesy, you shall be read and seen, In every branch, a king or queen.
