Strana 34 - which they swerve not since. That under force Of that controlling ordinance they move, And need not his immediate hand who first Prescribed their course, to regulate it now. The Lord of all, himself through all diffused, Sustains and is the life of all that lives. Nature is but a name for an effect, Whose cause is God.
Strana 128 - Self-love but serves the virtuous mind to wake, As the small pebble stirs the peaceful lake; The centre moved, a circle straight succeeds, Another still, and still another spreads; Friend, parent, neighbour, next it will embrace, His country next, and next all human race; Wide and more wide the o'erflowings of the mind Take every creature in of every kind.

For there are mystically in our faces certain characters which carry in them the motto of our
Strana 68 - piece between corporal and spiritual essence, that middle form that links those two together, and makes good the method of God and nature, that jumps not from extremes, but unites the incompatible distances by some middle and participating natures. That we are the breath Gen. i. 26, and similitude of God, it is indisputable and
Strana 32 - carry with us the wonders we seek without us : there is all Africa and her prodigies in us ; we are that bold and adventurous piece of nature, which he that studies wisely learns in a compendium, what others labour at in a divided piece and endless volume. Nature a XVI.' Thus there are two books from whence
