עמוד 82 - I had no sooner spoken these words but a loud though yet gentle noise came from the heavens, for it was like nothing on earth, which did so comfort and cheer me that I took my petition as granted, and that I had the sign I demanded, whereupon also I resolved to print my book.
עמוד 329 - Harke how the minstrels gin to shrill aloud Their merry musick that resounds from far, The pipe, the tabor, and the trembling Croud, That well agree withouten breach or jar.
עמוד 268 - who know very little of arts or sciences, or the powers of nature, will laugh at us Cardiganshire miners, who maintain the existence of knockers, in mines ; a kind of good-natured impalpable people, not to be seen but heard, and who seem to us to work in the mines ; that is to say, they are the types, or forerunners, of working in mines, as dreams are of some accidents which happen to us.

One of lord Herbert's chief arguments against revealed religion is, the improbability that Heaven should reveal its will to only a portion of the earth, which he terms particular religion. How could a man (supposing the anecdote genuine) who doubted of partial, believe individual revelation...
עמוד 83 - It is hard to say whether his person, his understanding, or his courage, was the most extraordinary ; as the fair, the learned, and the brave, held him in equal admiration. But the same man was wise, and capricious ; redressed wrongs, and quarrelled for punctilios ; hated bigotry in religion, and was himself a bigot to philosophy.
עמוד 219 - Twas not for want of skill; Or courage to perform the task, he fell ; No, no, a faulty cord being drawn too tight Hurried his soul on high to take her flight, Which bid the body here beneath, good night.
