Pàgina 579 - ex animo" with an absolute internal assent and consent, that Protestantism is the dreariest of possible religions; that the thought of the Anglican service makes me shiver, and the thought of the Thirty-nine Articles makes me shudder. Return to the Church of England! No! "The net is broken and we are delivered.
Pàgina 588 - Church, the person so offending shall for every such offence forfeit and pay the sum of one hundred pounds...
Pàgina 61 - Each hour, as it comes, is but a testimony, how fleeting, yet how secure, how certain is the great whole. It is like an image on the waters, which is ever the same, though the waters ever flow. Change upon change — yet one change cries out to another, like the alternate Seraphim, in praise and in glory of their Maker.
