Page 398 - I die: remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, "Who is the Lord?" or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
Page 693 - The timid girls, half dreading their design, Dip the small foot in the retarded brine, And search for crimson weeds, which spreading flow, Or lie like pictures on the sand below; With all those bright red pebbles, that the sun Through the small waves so softly shines upon...

Belie the Negro's powers: — in headlong will, Christian! thy brother thou shalt prove him still: Belie his virtues; since his wrongs began, His follies and his crimes have stampt him Man.
Page 691 - tis done, Counts up his Meals, now lessen'd by that one ; For Expectation is on Time intent, Whether he brings us Joy or Punishment. - Yes ! e'en in sleep th* impressions all remain, He hears the Sentence and he feels the Chain ; He sees the Judge and Jury, when he shakes, And loudly cries, " Not Guilty," and awakes : Then chilling Tremblings o'er his Body creep, Till worn-out Nature is compell'd to sleep.
Page 258 - The evidence that there is a Being, all-powerful, wise, and good, by whom every thing exists ; and particularly, to obviate difficulties regarding the wisdom and goodness of the Deity ; and this, in the first place, from considerations independent of written revelation, and, in the second place, from the Revelation of the Lord Jesus ; and from the whole, to point out the inferences most necessary for and useful to mankind.
