Stranica 92 - Than the soft myrtle: but man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured, His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep; who, with our spleens, Would all themselves laugh mortal.
Stranica 74 - I require and charge you both (as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment, when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed) that if either of you know any impediment why ye may not be lawfully joined together in matrimony, ye do now confess it ; for be ye well assured that so many as are coupled together otherwise than God's Word doth allow, are not joined together by God, neither is their matrimony lawful.

Stranica 42 - But freedom is not, as we are told, 'a liberty for every man to do what he lists', for who could be free when every other man's humour might domineer over him? But a liberty to dispose and order as he lists his person, actions, possessions, and his whole property, within the allowance of those laws under which he is; and therein not to be subject to the arbitrary will of another, but freely follow his own.
Stranica 40 - Adam was created a perfect man, his body and mind in full possession of their strength and reason, and so was capable from the first instant of his being to provide for his own support and preservation and govern his actions according to the dictates of the law of reason which God had implanted in him.
Stranica 45 - ... but that which is common to them both, whether it be the law of nature, or municipal law of their country ; yet this freedom exempts not a son from that honour which he ought,, by the law of God. and nature, to pay his parents. God having made the parents instruments in his great design of continuing the race of mankind, and the occasions of life to their children; as he hath laid on them an obligation to nourish, preserve, and bring up their offspring...
Stranica 41 - So that however it may be mistaken, the end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For ' in all the states of created beings, capable of laws, where there is no law there is no freedom.
