Side 174 - The school which they have set up may properly be called the Satanic School, for though their productions breathe the spirit of Belial in their lascivious parts, and the spirit of Moloch in those loathsome images of atrocities and horrors which they delight to represent, they are more especially characterised by a Satanic spirit of pride and audacious impiety, which still betrays the wretched feeling of hopelessness wherewith it is allied.
Side 94 - The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. 1 3 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

The viper, however venomous in purpose, is harmless in effect while it is biting at the file. It is seldom, mdeed, that I waste a word or a thought upon...
Side 353 - I do solemnly swear, that I never will exercise any privilege to which I am or may become entitled, to disturb or weaken the Protestant religion, or Protestant Government, in the United Kingdom...
Side 31 - Johns of Leyden, the instruments of his vengeance, that the power of the Almighty might be more evident by the weakness of the means which he chooses to demonstrate it. He did not assemble the serpents and the monsters of Afric, to correct the pride of the Egyptians ; but called for his armies of locusts out of ^Ethiopia, and formed new ones of vermin out of the very dust...
Side 384 - The counsel which they shall intrust me withal, by themselves, their messengers or letters, I will not knowingly reveal to any, to their prejudice. I will help them to defend and keep the Roman Papacy and the Royalties of St. Peter, saving my order, against all men.
