עמוד xxxv - The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat ? saith the Lord. Is not my word like as a fire ? saith the Lord ; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces ? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
עמוד 256 - Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts : for the Coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

עמוד 289 - ... having always possessed Him. Their manner of expressing themselves is, that Jesus Christ has anointed; that He has been anointed; and that he himself is the unction. This party is chiefly in Tigre—• the most exasperated one. Their doctrine was that of the last Coptic Abuna.

עמוד 300 - ... corrupt young men, whose situation should maintain them in innocence ; and thus immorality is communicated to all the branches of society. Nevertheless, openly they maintain much more decency than one would be led to suppose, after having read the description which Bruce gives of an Abyssinian feast. I admit that such a feast may have taken place among the most shameless libertines ; but excesses of that kind are not customary, either as to their cruelty or their indecency.
עמוד 251 - Alas ! Sebagadis, the pillar of the poor, Has fallen at Daga Shaha, weltering in his blood ! The people of this country, will they find it a good thing To eat ears of corn which have grown in the blood ? Who will remember [St.] Michael of November...
עמוד 312 - After the age of six or seven years, the children are considered servants. The boys are shepherds, till the age of fourteen or fifteen, and reside with their parents ; but if their parents are poor, they leave them, by their own choice, at the age of eight or nine years, in order to get their livelihood by keeping cattle elsewhere. The girls are occupied in managing the little affairs of the house ; and begin to fetch water, which is always at a distance, as soon as they can walk steadily. At the...
עמוד xv - It is no less, sir, in a confidence of the generosity of your mind, than on account of your superior station, that I have chosen to importune you with this letter.
