Pàgina 83 - From hence we may conclude, not only that the young ravens are fed, and the lilies of the field arrayed in the glory of Solomon, by the Divine provision, but that of two sparrows which are sold for a farthing, not one of them falleth to the ground, not a hair is lost out of the number upon our heads, not an atom...
Pàgina 371 - As I live, faith the Lord, I have no pleafure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way, and live : Turn ye, turn ye from your wil -ways j for why -will ye die, O houfe of Ifrael.
Pàgina 472 - Paul, who became all things to all men, if by any means he might save some.
Pàgina 195 - Tim; do you see that sack of peas on the barn-floor yonder ? There are a couple of guineas in it somewhere; if you can find them, they are your own. Now, I know well enough, that he will get the money; for he will take out every pea one by one, but he will come at it; but I know as well that he cannot find it without a great deal of pains and rummaging.

Pàgina 223 - Will, where either of thefe two channels are wanting, becomes ufelefs, and confequently unjuft. Therefore fly Revenges which may be miftaken for...
Pàgina 195 - ... over the kitchen fire; for Search knows you will get the money; therefore it is a thing certain, and you must have it whether you do any thing, or no. This logic would hardly prevail upon Tim to stop his speed for a moment. Or suppose another subtle refiner sets the matter in a different light. Tim...

" For both choice and evidence have their certain weight to render them complete : while below this pitch, you may increase them by adding to the weights ; but when once arrived at it, all further addition is superfluous. For in moral arithmetic, as observed before under the article of pleasure, the same rules do not hold good...
Pàgina 195 - ... money; therefore it is a thing certain, and you must have it whether you do any thing, or no. This logic would hardly prevail upon Tim to stop his speed for a moment. Or suppose another subtle refiner sets the matter in a different light. Tim, says he, is a mere machine in this case, utterly destitute of liberty; for not only his getting the money, but his rummaging the sack is foreknown; so his action is certain and necessary, nor can he help rummaging any more than the great clock can help...
Pàgina 195 - Suppose one of your profound speculatists were by, and should tell him, Why, Tim, you need not put yourself in a hurry to go a rummaging; you may as well sit with your nose over the kitchen fire; for Search knows you will get the money; therefore it is a thing certain, and you must have it whether you do any thing, or no.
Pàgina 484 - Therefore now we may do ample justice to Regulus, whom we left under a sentence of folly for throwing away life with all its enjoyments for a phantom of honour. For he may allege that he had not a fair trial before, his principal evidence being out of the way, which having since collected in the course of this second Book, he moves for a rehearing.
