Sayfa 38 - Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you ? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Sayfa 398 - O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. ~] Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Sayfa 41 - But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Sayfa 64 - I should still confess that, in the ', present posture of our affairs at home or abroad, I do not yet see the absolute necessity of extirpating the Christian religion from among us.

Sayfa 474 - To call a man a fool and villain, an impudent fellow, only for differing from him in a point merely speculative, is, in my humble opinion, a very improper style for a person of his education.
Sayfa 77 - ... by a hundred passages in his treatise, he still continues. Perhaps I could add some others to the number ; but the fact is beyond dispute, and the reasoning they proceed by is right : for, supposing Christianity to be extinguished, the people will never be at ease till they tind out some other method of worship ; which will - as infallibly produce superstition, as superstition will end in popery.
Sayfa 70 - I confess, if it were certain, that so great an advantage would redound to the nation by this expedient, I would submit and be silent ; but will any man say that, if the words whoring, drinking, cheating, lying, stealing were, by act of parliament, ejected out of the English tongue and dictionaries, we should all awake next morning chaste and temperate, honest and just, and lovers of truth...
Sayfa 76 - ... and the men of profound learning, be able to find another subject so calculated, in all points, whereon to display their abilities ? What wonderful productions of wit should we be deprived of from those, whose genius, by continual practice, hath...
