עמוד 205 - A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table than when his wife talks Greek.
עמוד 194 - Thy mercy ; enforce and accept my imperfect repentance ; make this commemoration available to the confirmation of my faith, the establishment of my hope, and the enlargement of my charity; and make the death of Thy Son Jesus Christ effectual to my redemption.
