Seite 195 - Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, "Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power : help us, O Lord our God ; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
Seite 146 - Memorial to the House of Lords, and a Remonstrance to the House of Commons, on the subject of the proposed Stamp Act.
Seite 179 - Then join hand in hand brave Americans all, By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall; In so righteous a cause let us hope to succeed, For Heaven approves of each generous deed.
Seite 520 - Be content to bind America by laws of trade, you have always done it. Let this be your reason for binding their trade.

Seite 285 - I have no authority over his Majesty's ships in this port, or his troops in this town ; nor can I give any orders for the removal of the 1 Bradford's Hist.
Seite 358 - Schemes were revived for admitting representatives from the American Colonies into the British House of Commons ; 4 but they attracted little attention.
Seite 323 - Let us be cautious how we invade the liberties of our fellow-subjects, however mean, however remote ; for be assured, my lords, that in whatever part of the empire you suffer slavery to be established, whether it be in America or in Ireland, or here at home, you will find it a disease which spreads by contact, and soon reaches from the extremities to the heart.
