Side 4 - and behold the errors, perturbations, labours, " and wanderings up and down of other men." So always that this prospect be with pity, and not with swelling or pride. Certainly it is heaven upon earth to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
Side 122 - a gibing spirit. Whose influence is begot of that loose grace, Which shallow laughing hearers give to fools; A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it; never in the tongue Of him that makes it: then if sickly ears, Deaf
Side 101 - of state for a proud mind to raise itself upon; or a fort or commanding ground for strife and contention; or a shop for profit or sale; and not a rich store-house for the glory of the Creator and the relief of man's estate.
Side 87 - O' foggage green! And bleak December's winds ensuin ! Baith snell and keen. Thou saw the fields laid bare an' waste, An' weary winter comin fast, An' cozie here, beneath the blast, Thou thought to dwell, Till crash, the cruel coulter past Out thro' thy cell. That wee-bit heap o' leaves an
