Pagina 355 - Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken ; Say ye of him whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God ? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Pagina 367 - What recks it them? What need they? They are sped; And, when they list, their lean and flashy songs Grate on their scrannel pipes of wretched straw; The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed, But, swoln with wind and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread : Besides what the grim wolf with privy paw Daily devours apace, and nothing said: But that two-handed engine at the door Stands ready to smite once, and smite no more.
Pagina 355 - The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for. blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Pagina 356 - Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried, He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven, And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty ; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
Pagina 174 - I deserved at your highness' hands. The language I have learn'd these forty years, My native English, now I must forego ; \ And now my tongue's use is to me no more Than an unstringed viol or a harp; Or like a cunning instrument, cas'd up, Or, being open, put into his hands That knows no touch to tune the harmony.
Pagina 369 - Neither the books of his adversaries, nor any of their persons, though he was acquainted with the best of both, had ever made great impression on him ; all his doubts grew out of himself, when he assisted his scruples with all the strength of his own reason, and was then too hard for himself : but finding as little quiet and repose in those victories, he quickly recovered, by a new appeal to his own judgment ; so that, in truth, he was, in all his sallies and retreats, his own convert.
Pagina 44 - I firmly believe that but for the buffetings of that perilous storm, scarcely a remnant of the quick moral perception which God had naturally given to my mind would have escaped destruction by the emaciating poison of confession. I judge from the certain knowledge of the secret conduct of many members of the clergy, who were deemed patterns of devotion. Like those wretched slaves, I should have been permanently the worse for the custom of sinning and washing away the sin by confession. Free, however,...
Pagina 38 - As the object of the sculptor was to strike the senses, without any regard to taste, the statue was as large as life, with glass eyes, and the body so coloured as to represent flesh, sprinkled here and there with blood. After the congregation had taken their seats, in profound silence, one of Father Vega's assistant priests read the subject of Meditation for that evening. This reading generally lasted half an hour. At the end of it, all knelt. For about a quarter of an hour nothing was heard but...
Pagina 278 - The foundation of certainty must be certain. Divines would make the Eternal Fountain of Reason more illogical than the weakest man. If God had intended to dwell miraculously among men in a book, as in an oracle, from which we might obtain infallible answers, he would not have left that first foundation of the intended certainty to probability and conjecture.
Pagina 437 - Oct. 18th. A very long walk to Shotover Hill. Employed the morning in preparing a form for admitting Roman Catholic Priests to the Church of England. 31st. Called on Pusey, who walked with me. Pusey, "Wilberforce, and Froude came in the evening to learn the order of the RC Service of the Breviary.
