Strona 209 - But nothing can shine with undiminished lustre, but religion and knowledge, which are essentially and intrinsically bright. Take it therefore for granted, which you will find by -experience, that nothing can be long entertaining, but what is in some measure beneficial ; because nothing else will bear a calm and sedate review.
Strona 227 - ... thofe excellent Books, which contain a Confutation of them ; like Infects preferved for Ages in Amber, which otherwife would foon have returned to the common Mafs of Things. But a firm Belief of Chriftianity and a Practice fuitable to it will fupport and invigorate the Mind to the...
Strona 217 - ... though nothing merely in order to be commended.
