Pàgina 17 - My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Pàgina 105 - No, let a penitent and contrite spirit always be my portion, and may I ever so be the favourite of heaven, as never to forget that I am chief of sinners.

Were but our minds thus fixed and our intentions regulated, everything would strangely contribute to our edification.
Pàgina 105 - ... they have it. Might I be allowed to choose my own lot, I should think it much more eligible to want my spiritual comforts, than to abound in these at the expense of my humility. No, let a penitent and contrite spirit always be...
