Stran 66 - The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; And I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

Stran 58 - ... (in such variety of apprehensions, humours and interests, as are in the world) to please all ; nor can expect that men of factious, peevish, and perverse spirits should be satisfied with any thing that can be done in this kind by any other than themselves...
Stran 29 - ... be had in due and convenient time, without impediment or let of Divine service ; and that women should have leave to carry rushes to the church for the...
