الصفحة 30 - Like to the falling of a star; Or as the flights of eagles are; Or like the fresh spring's gaudy hue; Or silver drops of morning dew; Or like a wind that chafes the flood; Or bubbles which on water stood; Even such is man, whose borrowed light Is straight called in, and paid to night.

الصفحة 226 - In vain was recourse had to relations, to companions, to friends : all connexions were dissolved, and death was dealt by that hand from which protection was implored and expected.

الصفحة 179 - I am ; and if it be your grace's pleasure so to allow them for preachers, I could be content to bear their books after them ; but if your grace allow me for a preacher, I would desire...
الصفحة 192 - O God the Father, for our little and small sins only, but for all the greatest sins of the world : so that the sinner return unto thee with a penitent heart : as I do here at this present. Wherefore have mercy upon me, O Lord, whose property is always to have mercy. For although my sins be great, yet thy mercy is greater. I crave nothing, O Lord, for mine own merits, but for thy name's sake, that it may be glorified thereby : and for thy dear Son Jesus Christ's sake.
