Página 22 - It is come, I know not how, to be taken for granted by many persons, that Christianity is not so much as a subject of inquiry, but that it is now at length discovered to be fictitious. And accordingly they treat it as if, in the present age, this were an agreed point among all people of discernment...

Página 38 - I thank your Ladyship for the information concerning the Methodist preachers; their doctrines are most repulsive, and strongly tinctured with impertinence and disrespect towards their superiors, in perpetually endeavouring to level all ranks, and do away with all distinctions.

The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Página 313 - The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high : Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, They ever cry : Hail, Abraham's God and mine ; I join the heavenly lays ; All might and majesty are Thine, And endless praise.
Página 304 - He was half maddened by glorious or terrible illusions. He heard the lyres of angels, or the tempting whispers of fiends. He caught a gleam of the Beatific Vision, or woke screaming from dreams of everlasting fire. Like Vane, he thought himself intrusted with the sceptre of the millennial year.
