Seite 106 - Rich in expedients for inquietude, Is prone to paint it dreadful. Who can take Death's portrait true; the tyrant never sat. Our sketch all random strokes; conjecture all; Close shuts the grave, nor tells one single tale.
Seite 8 - Volume, that 1 have therefore drawn over the book of God the most distant shade of disrespect. The mind that can harbour such an idea, must form but a very partial conception of my undertaking. The Bible I consider as the great repository of sacred knowledge ; and moral philosophy can be no » longer right, than while it acts in concert with revelation. I consider moral truth, as an elevated mountain...
