Seite 49 - Zounds, sir ! you are one of those, that will not serve God, if the devil bid you. Because we come to do you service, and you think we are ruffians, you'll have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse : you'll have your nephews neigh to you; you'll have coursers for cousins, and gennets for germans.
Seite 49 - Zounds, sir, you are robb'd ; for shame, put on your gown ; Your heart is burst, you have lost half your soul ; Even now, very now, an old black ram Is tupping your white ewe.

Seite 108 - I have no more to say by way of clearing my innocency, knowing that to a true, Christian, unprejudiced mind, I must appear guiltless ; but, however, I am not very solicitous about it. I rejoice, and it is now my comfort, (and that will support me and protect me from the crowd of evil spirits that I must meet with in my flight to the region of bliss assigned me, ) that my conscience speaks peace to me. Indeed, it may be shocking to some serious Christians, that the holy God should suffer...
Seite 178 - Had he cooperated with the Northern Army, he had saved it, or had he gone to Philadelphia by land, he had ruined Mr. Washington and his Forces ; But, as he did none of these things, had he gone to the D — - 1, before he was sent to America, it had been a saving of infamy to himself and indelible dishonor to this Country.
Seite 107 - ... to suffer a death attended with ignominy and pain. But it is the cup that my Heavenly Father has put into my hand, and I drink it with pleasure It is the cross of my dear Redeemer; I bear it with alacrity, knowing that all that live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution, and we must be made in some degree partakers of His sufferings before we can share in the glories of His resurrection; for He went not up to glory before He ascended mount Calvary; did not wear the crown of glory before...
Seite 107 - I never knew them but at my trial. But for a removal of all scruples that may arise after my death, I shall give my thoughts on some points.
