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.
