Side 58 - ... till at length the head of the College came out to him from an inner room, with half a dozen night-caps upon his head and religious horror in his countenance. The young man trembled ; but his fears increased when, instead of being asked what progress he had made in learning, he was examined how he abounded in grace.
Side 58 - He was received at the door by a servant, who was one of that gloomy generation that were then in fashion.
