Side 29 - Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath...
Side xxxviii - No man ever spoke more neatly, more pressly, more weightily, or suffered less emptiness, less idleness, in what he uttered. No member of his speech but consisted of his own graces. His hearers could not cough or look aside from him without loss. He commanded where he spoke...
Side 373 - And it appears in our books, that in many cases, the common law will control acts of parliament, and sometimes adjudge them to be utterly void ; for when an act of parliament is against common right and reason, or repugnant, or impossible to be performed, the common law will control it, and adjudge such act to be void ; and therefore in 8 E 330 ab Thomas Tregor's case on the statutes of W.

Side xxxvii - Orpheus' theatre, where all beasts and birds assembled ; and, forgetting their several appetites, some of prey, some of game, some of quarrel, stood all sociably together listening to the airs and accords of the harp ; the sound whereof no sooner ceased, or was drowned by some louder noise, but every beast returned to his own ' nature : wherein is aptly described the nature and condition of men, who are full of savage and unreclaimed desires, of...
Side xxxiv - Remember (O Lord) how thy servant hath walked before thee; remember what I have first sought, and what hath been principal in my intentions.
