Seite 1 - I think this no unfit occasion to repeat what I have said formerly, that whatsoever I have done in favour and to the good of my subjects, I do mean to maintain it.
Seite 133 - For the kind spring, which but salutes us here, Inhabits there and courts them all the year; Ripe fruits and blossoms on the same trees live. At once they promise what at once they give; So sweet the air, so moderate the clime, None sickly lives or dies before his time; Heaven sure has kept this spot of earth uncurst To show how all things were created first.
Seite 5 - When Puritanism grew into a faction, the zealots distinguished themselves, both men and women, by several affectations of habit, looks, and words...
