Strana 165 - Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Strana 94 - Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
Strana 195 - Charity. And now, my Lords, nothing remains, but that I pronounce upon you (and sorry I am that it falls to my Lot to do it) that terrible Sentence of the Law, which must be the same that is usually given against the meanest Offender in the like Kind.

By thee adulterous lust was driven from men Among the bestial herds to range; by thee, Founded in reason, loyal, just, and pure, Relations dear, and all the charities Of father, son, and brother first were known.
Strana 191 - Lords, these and such like are artful Colourings, proceeding from Minds filled with Expectation of continuing in this World; and not from such as are preparing for their Defence before a Tribunal, where the Thoughts of the Heart, and the true Springs and Causes of Actions, must be laid open.
Strana 189 - I mould take this occafion to make fome obfervations to your lordfhips upon it, to the end that the judgment to be given againft you may clearly appear to be juft and righteous, as well as legal; and that you may not remain under any fatal error in...
Strana 388 - I'll do my endeavour to bring you off as a single felon' (crimes punishable only by transportation, whipping, imprisonment, &c., were denominated single felonies). And then, turning to me he said, 'I believe you must die; I'll send you a good book or two, and provide you a coffin, and you shall not be anatomised.'

Strana 400 - Turners' leads just as the clock was striking nine. It happened that the door of the garret next the Turner's leads was open, on which he stole softly down two pair of stairs, and heard some company talking in a room.
