Seite 38 - To serve mere engines to the ruling mind ? Just as absurd for any part to claim To be another in this...
Seite 64 - Love all the faith, and all th' allegiance then, For nature knew no right divine in men ; No ill could fear in God, and understood A sovereign being but a sovereign good, True faith, true policy, united ran ; That was but love of God, and this of man. Who first taught souls enslav'd, and realms undone, Th...
