Seite 409 - By this wise prejudice we are taught to look with horror on those children of their country, who are prompt rashly to hack that aged parent in pieces, and put him into the kettle of magicians, in hopes that by their poisonous weeds, and wild incantations, they may regenerate the paternal constitution, and renovate their father's life.
Seite 78 - I did not see the propriety of making him commit to memory theological sentences, or any sentences, which it was not possible for him to understand. And I was desirous to make a trial how far his own reason could go in tracing out with a little direction, the great and first principle of all religion, the being of GOD. The...
Seite 79 - Yes, said I carelessly, on coming to the place, I see it is so ; but there is nothing in this worth notice ; it is mere chance : and I went away. He followed me, and, taking hold of my coat, said, with some earnestness, It could not be mere chance; for that somebody must have contrived matters so as to produce it.
Seite 474 - Ma è necessario questa natura saperla bene colorire, ed essere gran simulatore e dissimulatore: e sono tanto semplici gli uomini, e tanto obediscano alle necessità presenti, che colui che inganna, troverrà sempre chi si lascerà ingannare.
