Side 110 - There is no study more becoming a rational creature than that of Natural Philosophy ; but, as several of our modern virtuosi manage it, their speculations do not so much tend to open and enlarge the mind, as to contract and fix it upon trifles. This in England is in a great measure owing to the worthy elections that are so frequently made in our Royal Society. They...
Side 308 - Sunday meeting, although there was no preacher, ten, fifteen, yea, near twenty have been converted. At a place near me, thirty have found the Lord, within eight days. It is common with us for men and women to fall down as dead under an exhortation ; but many more under prayer — perhaps twenty at a time. And some that have not fallen to the earth, have shown the same distress, wringing their hands, smiting their breasts, and begging all to pray for them.
Side 114 - President will then be left with his train of feeble amateurs and that toy* upon the table ; — the ghost of the Society in which Philosophy once reigned, and Newton presided as her minister.
Side 98 - Besides, not having the honour to be acquainted with any of the parties in his Poem, except the Man and the Woman, the characters and speeches of a dozen or two of Angels, and of as many Devils, are as much above my reach as my entertainment. Keep this secret for me : for if it should be known, I should be abused by every tasteless Pedant, and every solid Divine, in England.
Side 383 - Christ" (reader, it is their -own expression J) " as impartially and unprejudicedly, as men made of flesh and blood are like to do in any juncture of time that may fall out ; the place they went to, the condition they were in, and company they went with, affording no temptation to bias them any way.
Side 111 - They seem to be in a confederacy against men of polite genius, noble thought, and diffusive learning; and choose into their assemblies such as have no pretence to wisdom, but want of wit ; or to natural knowledge, but ignorance of every thing else.
Side 111 - I have made observations in this matter so long, that when I meet with a young fellow that is an humble admirer of these sciences, but more dull than the rest of the company, I conclude him to be a Fellow of the Royal Society.
Side 464 - I am one. Be it therefore for the future remembered, that in London in the kingdom of England, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eightyone, a man publicly declared himself to be an atheist.
Side 140 - HAIL, horrors, hail ! ye ever gloomy bowers, Ye gothic fanes, and antiquated towers, Where rushy Camus' slowly-winding flood Perpetual draws his humid train of mud : Glad I revisit thy neglected reign, Oh take me to thy peaceful shade again. But chiefly thee, whose influence...
Side 306 - THE distinguishing marks of a Methodist are not his opinions of any sort. His assenting to this or that scheme of religion, his embracing any particular set of notions, his espousing the judgment of one man or of another are all quite wide of the point. Whosoever, therefore, imagines that a Methodist is a man of such or such an opinion is grossly ignorant of the whole affair; he mistakes the truth totally. We believe, indeed, that " all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God;" and herein we...
