Page 221 - O, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb-shows and noise: I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it outherods Herod: pray you, avoid it.
Page 238 - He that negotiates between God and man, As God's ambassador, the grand concerns Of judgment and of mercy, should beware Of lightness in his speech.

Page 146 - It was, I believe, in October, 1790, and not long before his death, that I heard John Wesley in the great round Meeting-house at Colchester. He stood in a wide pulpit, and on each side of him stood a minister, and the two held him up, having their hands under his armpits.
Page 316 - He went where frenzy held its rule, Where sickness breathed its spell of pain } By famed Bethesda's mystic pool ; And by the darkened gate of Nain. He soothed the mourner's troubled breast, He raised the contrite sinner's head, And on the loved ones' lowly rest, The light of better life he shed.
Page 316 - WHEN long the soul had slept in chains, And man to man was stern and cold ; When love and worship were but strains That swept the gifted chords of old, — By shady mount and peaceful lake A meek and lowly stranger came. The weary drank the words he spake ; The poor and feeble blessed his name. No shrine he reared in porch or grove ; No vested priests around him stood ; He went about to teach, and prove The lofty work of doing good. Said he to those who with him trod, " Would ye be my disciples?...
Page 261 - Thou'rt gone, the abyss of heaven Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on my heart Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given, And shall not soon depart.
