Strona 40 - But before I had got thus far out of these ' my temptations, I did greatly long to see some ' ancient godly man's experience, who had writ ' some hundreds of years before I was born ; for ' those who had writ in our days, I thought, but I ' desire them now to pardon me, that they had writ ' only that which others felt, or else had, through ' the strength of their wits and parts, studied tu ' answer siich objections as they perceived others ' were perplexed with, without going down them
