Stran 47 - Hooker speaks of, when, with the splendid magnificence of eastern metaphor, he says, that " her seat is the bosom of God, and her voice the harmony of the world.

Stran 144 - But to return to our own institute; besides these constant exercises at home, there is another opportunity of gaining experience to be won from pleasure itself abroad; in those vernal seasons of the year when the air is calm and pleasant, it were an injury and sullenness against nature, not to go out and see her riches, and partake in her rejoicing with heaven and earth.

Stran 172 - Mather is named Cotton Mather. What a name! But, my hearers, I confess I am wrong — I should have said, what names ! I shall say nothing of his reverend father, since I dare not praise him to his face ; but should he resemble and represent his venerable grandfathers, John Cotton and Richard Mather, in piety, learning, elegance of mind, solid judgment, prudence and wisdom, he will bear away the palm ; and I trust that, in this youth, Cotton and Mather will be united and flourish again.
Stran 223 - There is a devil that makes another to be thinking of, he scarcely knows what himself. And there is a devil that makes another to be pleasing himself with wanton and wicked speculations. It is also possible, that we have our closets or our studies gloriously perfumed with devotions every day ; but, alas ! can we shut the Devil out of them ? No : let us go where we will, we shall still find a devil nigh unto us. Only when we come to heaven, we shall be out of his reach for ever.
