Strana 212 - Alexandria, a maD of vast and uncommon abilities, and the greatest luminary of the Christian world that this age exhibited to view.
Strana 210 - ... examples of primitive piety and Christian virtue, yet many were sunk in luxury and voluptuousness, puffed up with vanity, arrogance, and ambition, possessed with a spirit of contention and discord, and addicted to many other vices that cast an undeserved reproach upon the holy religion of which they were the unworthy professors and ministers.
