Sayfa 232 - us. And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger: and when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child : and all they that heard it, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds
Sayfa 236 - had taken it down from the cross, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, hewn out of a rock, and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre,
Sayfa 149 - the journey of a day. We rise in the morning of youth full of vigour and full of expectation; we set forward with spirit and hope, with gaiety and with diligence, and travel on awhile in the straight road of piety towards the mansions of rest. In a short time we
Sayfa 68 - bring a man under an everlasting jealousy and suspicion, so that he is not believed when he speaks truth, nor trusted when perhaps he means honestly.

JOHNSON.
Sayfa 99 - [As in the succession of the seasons, each, by the invariable laws of nature, affects the productions of what is next in course; so, in human life, every period of our age, according as it is well or ill spent, influences the happiness of that which is to follow.
