Halaman 203 - That as I lived quite on the other side of the island, he would never have been so simple to leave a mark in a place where it was ten thousand to one whether I should ever see it or not, and in the sand too, which the first surge of the sea upon a high wind would have defaced entirely. All this seemed inconsistent with the thing itself, and with all the notions we usually entertain of the subtlety of the devil.
Halaman 273 - Jesus' sake, forbeare To dig the dust enclosed here: Blessed be the man that spares these stones, And curst be he that moves my bones.

Halaman 201 - It happened one day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a man's naked foot on the shore, which was very plain to be seen on the sand.
Halaman 56 - If the gallows instead of the Counter,27 and the galleys instead of the fines, were the reward of going to a conventicle, to preach or hear, there would not be so many sufferers. The spirit of martyrdom is over; they that will go to church to be chosen sheriffs and mayors, would go to forty churches rather than be hanged.
Halaman 55 - You had an Opportunity to root out this cursed Race from the World, under the Favour and Protection of a true English Queen; and out of your foolish Pity you spared them, because, forsooth, you would not be Cruel, and now our Church is...
Halaman 35 - Jack," said a gentleman of very high quality, when after the debate in the House of Lords King William was voted into the vacant throne; "Jack," says he, "God damn ye, Jack, go home to your lady, and tell her we have got a protestant King and Queen; and go and make a bonfire as big as a house, and bid the butler make ye all drunk, ye dog.
Halaman 20 - They should be brought to read books, and especially history, and so to read as to make them understand the world, and be able to know and judge of things when they hear of them. To such whose genius would lead them to it I would deny no sort of learning ; but the chief thing in general is to cultivate the understandings of the sex, that they may be capable of all sorts of conversation ; that their parts and judgments being improved, they may be as profitable in their conversation as they are pleasant.
