עמוד 54 - Pure Religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
עמוד 26 - I believe in one God, the creator of the universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable service we render to him is doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this.
עמוד 72 - For if any one should a little catechise the greatest part of the partizans of most of the sects in the world, he would not find, concerning those matters they are so zealous for, that they have any opinions of their own: much less would he have reason to think that they took them upon the examination of arguments and appearance of probability.

עמוד 66 - Take heart ! — the Waster builds again, — A charmed life old Goodness hath ; The tares may perish, — but the grain Is not for death. God works in all things ; all obey His first propulsion from the night : Wake thou and watch ! — the world is gray With morning light ! THE PRISONER FOR DEBT.
עמוד 59 - I have no recollections which give me uneasiness. An eloquent preacher of your religious society, Richard Mott, in a discourse of much unction and pathos, is said to have exclaimed aloud to his congregation that he did not believe there was a Quaker, Presbyterian, Methodist, or Baptist, in Heaven...
עמוד 33 - You have been taught, indeed, that right belief, or orthodoxy, will, like charity, cover a multitude of sins ; but be not deceived. Belief of or mere assent to the truth of propositions upon evidence is not a virtue, nor unbelief a vice. Faith is not a voluntary act...
