As he has always had pity on us, and as he has loved us, we ought to die for him.
Side 114 - In a word, the climate is temperate, the air very pure ; during the day there is a gentle wind, and at night the sky, which is always placid, diffuses sweet and cool influences which cause us to enjoy the benignity of tranquil sleep. If its position is pleasing, it is no less important, for it opens or closes the approach to the most distant tribes which surround these vast sweet water seas.'
