עמוד 146 - ... philosopher both, and the Christian all. You may now begin to think your manhood was too much a puerility ; and you will never suffer your age to be but a second infancy.
עמוד 146 - What is every year of a wise man's life but a censure or critic on the past ? Those whose date is the shortest, live long enough to laugh at one half of it : the boy despises the infant, the man the boy, the philosopher both, and the Christian all.
עמוד 148 - I look upon you as a spirit entered into another life ', as one just upon the edge of immortality ; where the passions and affections must be much more exalted, and where you ought to despise all little views, and all mean retrospects.

עמוד 44 - I am afraid moft feekers are in the fame cafe, and when they flop, they are not fo properly converted, as outwitted. You fee how little glory you would gain by my converfion*. And after all, I verily believe your...
עמוד 146 - Remember it was at such a time, that the greatest lights of antiquity dazzled and blazed the most, in their retreat, in their exile, or in their death : but why do I talk of dazzling or blazing ? it was then that they did good, that they gave light, and that they became guides to mankind.
עמוד 145 - ... utterly forgetful of that world from which we are gone, and ripening for that to which we are to go. If you retain any memory of the past, let it only image to you what has pleased you best; sometimes present a dream of an absent friend, or bring you back an agreeable conversation.
עמוד 46 - I leave it to God alone to mend or reform them ; which whenever he does, it muft be by greater inftruments than I am. I am not a Papift, for I renounce the temporal invafions of the Papal power, and deteft their arrogated authority over Princes and States.
