Side 431 - These are thy glorious works, Parent of good, Almighty, thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair; thyself how wondrous then !

Side 6 - O FRIEND ! I know not which way I must look For comfort, being, as I am, opprest, To think that now our life is only drest For show ; mean handy-work of craftsman, cook, Or groom !

I observe in the hands of many persons a book written in that language, and which they call the New Testament : it is a book full of daggers and poison.
