الصفحة 201 - For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
الصفحة 366 - Montgomeryshire,* but the bridge -j- is certainly a very elegant structure, and speaks itself to be the work of a great architect, most probably of Jones, who was, according to tradition, a native of Dolythelan, a few miles from Llanrwst, up the mountains ; though some of his biographers place his nativity at London, in the neighbourhood of St. Paul's. The chapel, which adjoins the parish church, was erected by Sir Richard Wynne, one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber to Charles the First, when Prince...
الصفحة 188 - Tush, say they, how should God perceive it : is there knowledge in the Most High? 12 Lo, these are the ungodly, these prosper in the world, and these have riches in possession : and I said, Then have I cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

الصفحة 399 - But chief he gloried with licentious style To lash the great, and monarchs to revile. His figure such as might his soul proclaim; One eye was blinking, and one leg was lame: His mountain shoulders half his breast o'erspread, Thin hairs bestrew'd his long misshapen head. Spleen to mankind his envious heart possess'd, And much he hated all, but most the best...
الصفحة 351 - Caen; in order to approach which, we passed over a rude alpine bridge, formed of the trunk of an oak thrown from rock to rock, and hanging frightfully over a black torrent that roared many feet beneath it. We descended with some difficulty to the bottom of the fall. Here the effect is very grand. A sheet of water is seen pouring down a rugged declivity, nearly perpendicular, of two hundred feet...
الصفحة 173 - neither to hurt his character by a sordid illiberality, nor his fortunes by a vain ostentation of magnificence ; since the one, by making a man odious, deprives him of the power of doing good ; the other, by making him necessitous, puts him under the temptation of doing ill.
الصفحة 162 - There are, says she, in one of her dispatches to him, insuperable difficulties, with respect to the ancient and fundamental laws of the government of our people ; which we fear do not permit sO severe and rigorous a sentence to be given, as your imperial majesty at first seemed to expect in this case ; and we persuade ourself, that your imperial majesty, who are a prince famous for clemency and exact justice, will not require us, who are the guardian and protectress of the laws, to inflict a punishment...
الصفحة 161 - Manchester had been insulted at Venice. That State had broken through their fundamental laws to content the Queen of Great Britain. How noble a picture, of Government, when a Monarch that can force another nation to infringe its constitution, dare not violate his own ! One...
