119 페이지 - All the images of nature were still present to him, and he drew them not laboriously, but luckily : when he describes any thing, you more than see it, you feel it too. Those who accuse him to have wanted learning, give him the greater commendation : he was naturally learned ; he needed not the spectacles of books to read nature ; he looked inwards, and found her there.
289 페이지 - I have ever hated all nations, professions, and communities, and all my love is towards individuals ; for instance, I hate the tribe of lawyers, but I love Counsellor such-aone, and Judge such-a-one.

331 페이지 - ... had his parts and endowments been parcelled out among his poor clergy that he left behind him, it would perhaps have made one of the best dioceses in the world.
430 페이지 - The Rights of the Christian Church asserted, against, the Romish and all other priests, who claim an independent power over it; with a preface concerning the government of the Church of England, as by law established,
136 페이지 - He seemed to be a Christian," adds the bishop, " but in a particular form of his own ; he thought it was to be like a divine philosophy in the mind ; but he was against all public worship and everything that looked like a church.
253 페이지 - I found that there were good books in these two sciences in Latin ; I bought a dictionary, and I learned Latin.
