Stran 286 - The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds; but the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought, and nourished up ; and it grew up together with him, and with his children : it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.

Stran 358 - One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts.
