Side 68 - I would have every zealous man examine his heart thoroughly; and I believe he will often find, that what he calls a zeal for his religion, is either pride, interest, or ill-nature.
Side 183 - ... human figure ; sometimes we see the man appearing distinctly in all his limbs and features, sometimes we find the figure wrought up to a great elegancy, but seldom meet with any to which the hand of a Phidias or Praxiteles could not give several nice touches and finishings.
Side 197 - This was he whom we had sometimes in derision and a proverb of reproach ; We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour : How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints...
