עמוד 414 - And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
עמוד 293 - Saviour ; knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying ; Where is the promise of his coming ? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
עמוד 293 - For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water, whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished ; but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
עמוד 200 - I conceive that nothing taketh beginning from itself, but from the action of some other immediate agent without itself.

עמוד 11 - Cudworth, who has raised such strong objections against the being of a GOD, and Providence,* that many think he has not answered them.
עמוד 21 - Cudworth carried this on with a great strength of genius and a vast compass of learning. He was a man of great conduct and prudence, upon which his enemies did very falsely accuse him of craft and dissimulation.
עמוד 12 - You know the common fate of those who dare to appear fair authors. What was that pious and learned man's case who wrote The Intellectual System of the Universe^ I confess it was pleasant enough to consider that, though the whole world were no less satisfied with his capacity and learning than with his sincerity in the cause of deity, yet was he accused of giving the upper hand to the atheists for having only stated their reasons and those of their adversaries fairly together.
עמוד 53 - Wherefore mere speculation and dry mathematical reason, in minds unpurified, and having a contrary interest of carnality and a heavy load of infidelity and distrust sinking them down, cannot alone beget an unshaken confidence and assurance of so high a truth as this — the existence of one perfect understanding' Being, the original of all things.
